The high-stakes Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 encounter between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is set to unfold at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, May 22. With GT already securing a playoff berth and LSG out of the qualification race, both teams have different motivations — Gujarat seeking redemption for their earlier defeat to Lucknow, and LSG eyeing a double over the table-toppers.
For fantasy cricket enthusiasts on Dream11 and My11Circle, picking the right bowlers could make all the difference. Here’s a look at three bowlers who are likely to emerge as the top wicket-takers in today’s fixture:

With 21 wickets in 12 games at an outstanding average of 17.57 and an economy of 7.85, Prasidh Krishna has emerged as the IPL 2025's most outstanding bowler and is currently dominating the Purple Cap race. He is a must-pick for fantasy teams because of his propensity to hit early and limit runs in the last overs.
In the previous GT vs LSG fixture, Prasidh took 2/26, dismissing key players Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant. Given his current form and Ahmedabad’s pace-friendly conditions under lights, he is the top contender for the highest wicket-taker in this match.

Mohammed Siraj has been GT’s second-most successful bowler this season, with 15 wickets in 12 games at an economy of 9.02. While he went wicketless in the last game against Delhi Capitals, Siraj thrives in Ahmedabad’s conditions, where the ball swings early.

LSG’s openers have been in decent touch, and Siraj’s ability to pick early wickets could disrupt their momentum. His battle against Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul (if fit) will be key. Expect him to bounce back with 2-3 wickets in this game.

Shardul Thakur, LSG’s second-highest wicket-taker this season with 13 scalps, has been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing campaign. Though expensive at times, he has a knack for breaking partnerships.
In the last GT vs LSG game, Thakur took 2/34, dismissing Sherfane Rutherford and Rahul Tewatia. He's a great fantasy selection because of his versatility and ability to bowl when it matters most. If LSG are to challenge GT, Thakur will need to deliver another impactful spell.
Prasidh and Siraj are safer picks for fantasy teams given GT's potent bowling attack and LSG's patchy batting. However, Thakur’s all-round ability makes him a valuable differential pick.
Predicted Top Wicket-Taker: Mohammed Siraj (GT)
