We have had a tremendous time, consistency is important in a long tournament such as the IPL. After 14 matches, the most consistent team will win the tournament. Same team for us today,” Gill said at the toss.Pant emphasises adaptabilityLucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant echoed similar sentiments, stressing adaptability to conditions and the importance of momentum.“I think the way wickets are, batting or bowling first doesn’t matter a lot. For us it’s amazing. Every win is important, but to win like that shows character. We want to take it one game at a time. It’s a great boost to win a match and come to the next one, but conditions are different, wickets are difficult. We spoke about intent and it was good to see. Same team for us,” Pant said.
