GT vs LSG – IPL 2025 Match Preview

In what could be the start of a series of “dead rubbers” towards the end of the IPL 2025 league stage, Gujarat Titans (GT) will host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday evening. But this clash isn’t entirely meaningless — GT still need to secure their position in the top two to ensure a smoother path to the final.

Gujarat Titans: Eyes on the Top Spot

GT, led by Shubman Gill, currently top the table but hold only a two-point lead over fourth-placed Mumbai Indians. The Titans will be looking to their formidable top order for another big performance:

  • B Sai Sudharsan – Orange Cap holder with 617 runs

  • Shubman Gill – Skipper and consistent run-getter with 601 runs

  • Jos Buttler – Key overseas batter with 500 runs

Lucknow Super Giants: Campaign in Freefall

For LSG, the road to the playoffs has officially ended after a crushing defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad earlier this week. Rishabh Pant’s side is on a four-match losing streak and has been plagued by:

  •  Inconsistent form

  •  Injuries to key players

  •  Underwhelming performance from local stars

While overseas players like Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran have contributed with the bat, the team has lacked cohesion, especially with Pant’s own form under scrutiny.
