Key Moments from Match 19 of IPL 2026:

Prasidh Krishna at his very best

Prasidh Krishna turned the game in Gujarat’s favour with a sensational spell, finishing with figures of 4/28. He struck at crucial intervals, removing key batters like Aiden Markram, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, and Mukul Choudhary. His disciplined line and length prevented LSG from building momentum, restricting them to a below-par total. He also holds the Purple Cap right now, with ten wickets to his name.

Gill played the anchor role with elegance, while Buttler took the aggressive route, finding boundaries consistently. Their partnership ensured GT stayed ahead of the required rate throughout the innings. Gill also went past the 4000-run mark in the IPL with this knock of his.

Tewatia and Sundar finish it off calmly

After the departure of the set batters, Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia showcased composure under pressure. The duo rotated strike effectively and capitalised on loose deliveries to seal the chase with ease, ensuring Gujarat Titans crossed the line with more than an over to spare.
