LSG vs GT Live Cricket Score, IPL 2025: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill play out wicketless powerplay for GT, LSG under pressure
Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans Live Updates: A team with four batters, a team that has a total of five overseas players available, a team that is playing three foreigners in the playing XI and still is at the top of the table with four consecutive wins, what do we call that? It can’t be luck purely! Whatever it is, the Gujarat Titans of 2022-2023 have stormed the ongoing IPL and at the moment look like a world-beating side. They play Washington Sundar at 4, he wins a game for them. Prasidh Krishna has had a second coming at the IPL playing for GT, Shahrukh Khan scored runs in the last game. It’s a well-oiled machine and only thing that can disrupt them is out of box thinking and landing the first punch. Lucknow Super Giants probably might be the ideal opposition to tackle the Titans and will be keen to stop that juggernaut. Follow all the live updates from LSG vs GT match-
Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill have begun on another fantastic note for the Gujarat Titans on what looks like a very good pitch to bat in Lucknow. The Super Giants bowlers have erred on length a few times. Even though they haven’t run away with the game, LSG need wickets to get into the GT middle order.
Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill are in the middle for the Gujarat Titans and will be keen to provide a solid start while Shardul Thakur has the new ball for the Super Giants.
It is a black soil pitch, No 6 – 63m and 70m square boundaries with a 73m straight boundary. It is patchy with respect to grass but has a nice sheen to it and is hard underneath. It will be a good run-scoring wicket for both teams but with some patchy grass, the pacers would aim to use it to their advantage for a couple of overs. The team winning the toss, might want to bat first.
Gujarat Titans: Prasidh Krishna, Mahipal Lomror, Nishant Sindhu, Anuj Rawat, Jayant Yadav
Lucknow Super Giants: Ayush Badoni, Prince Yadav, Shahbaz Ahmed, Matthew Breetzke, Shamar Joseph
Playing XI: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(w), Washington Sundar, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj
Mitchell Marsh’s daughter is unwell and hence, took time off to tend to her, which meant that Himmat Singh was in the side for the Super Giants for the first time in the LSG.
Playing XI: Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Himmat Singh, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Akash Deep, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi
Lucknow Super Giants have decided to bowl first against the Gujarat Titans after Shubman Gill called it wrong. Rishabh Pant decided to field first, suggesting it that it was a hard surface and might look to get early wickets and chase it down, playing to the strength of his side. Gill also wanted to bowl first.
Lucknow Super Giants haven’t really nailed down their batting heroics, especially with related to the skipper Rishabh Pant’s form. Pant hasn’t got going and even in the last game when his team was doing well, he demoted himself because of the lack of confidence. Can Super Giants skipper hit form to make his side even more dangerous?
The Lucknow Super Giants may not have the fiery bowling attack but Mitchell Marsh’s splendid run with the bat and two new-found heroes in Digvesh Rathi and Shardul Thakur have worked well for the Super Giants and Rishabh Pant and Co have punched above their weight. Can they now challenge the bigger and the stronger teams? That will be Lucknow’s next target as they take on the Titans.
The big news on the match day for the Gujarat Titans was regarding Glenn Phillips, who no longer will be available for the rest of the ongoing IPL. Phillips hurt his groin in the last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad while fielding as a substitute and didn’t recover and hence will return home, further shortening GT’s reserves.
The two newbies Lucknow Super Giants take on the Gujarat Titans in their third home game of the 2025 edition of the IPL. It may look like the battle of blues from the outside but Lucknow may just be the perfect antidote to the Titans’ juggernaut, who have won four in a row, contrary to everyone’s predictions and expectations despite not having full availability of the players at their disposal.
