In the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 action, Gujarat Titans (GT) get ready to take on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday, May 22, at Ahmedabad's legendary Narendra Modi Stadium. This fixture holds more significance for Gujarat, who are chasing a top-two finish, than it does for Lucknow, who are already out of playoff contention.
With 18 points from 12 games, GT leads the points table and has had an incredible season thus far. They come into this game riding high on confidence after their dominant 10-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals. In contrast, LSG’s playoff hopes came to an end following a six-wicket defeat to SunRisers Hyderabad. With only 10 points from 12 games, Lucknow are now playing for pride.
As the teams prepare to battle, let’s look at three batters who could shine the brightest in this GT vs LSG encounter:

Mitchell Marsh has been one of the few consistent performers for LSG this season. The Australian all-rounder has amassed 443 runs in 11 innings, boasting an average of 40.27 and a blistering strike-rate of 157.09. With five fifties to his name, Marsh has often laid the foundation for Lucknow's innings.
In their most recent match against SRH, Marsh displayed his explosive form, hammering 65 runs off 39 deliveries, including six fours and four sixes. Now with LSG out of playoff contention, Marsh will look to play with freedom and finish the season on a strong note. A big knock from him could well be on the cards against Gujarat.

GT skipper Shubman Gill has been leading by example, both tactically and with the bat. The elegant right-hander has scored 601 runs in 12 matches, averaging 60.10 at a strike-rate of 155.69, with six fifties to his credit.
Gill was instrumental in Gujarat’s previous win over Delhi, scoring an unbeaten 93 off 53 balls, studded with three boundaries and seven sixes. He also made an impact the last time GT faced LSG, scoring 60 runs off 38 deliveries. As Gujarat aim to cement their place in the top two, Gill's form at the top will be crucial once again.

Sai Sudharsan has been in incredible form for Gujarat and has emerged as one of the IPL 2025's most notable batters. The young left-hander leads GT’s run charts with 617 runs from 12 games, averaging 56.09 and striking at 156.99. His season includes a century and five fifties.

In their last match against DC, Sudharsan was at his destructive best, scoring a match-winning 108 not out off 61 balls, peppered with 12 boundaries and four sixes. He also contributed 56 runs off 37 deliveries in their previous meeting with LSG. With form and confidence on his side, Sudharsan is poised to deliver another top-class performance.
While Gujarat Titans aim to maintain their top spot and enter the playoffs with momentum, Lucknow Super Giants will look to salvage pride with a strong finish. With batters like Marsh, Gill, and Sudharsan in sublime touch, fans can expect a run-fest in Ahmedabad. All eyes will be on these three to set the stage alight in this much-anticipated IPL 2025 clash.
