Gujarat Titans vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPL 2025: Table Toppers Gujarat Titans (MI) and eliminated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) face off in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday (May 22).
With 18 points from 12 matches, table-toppers GT have already booked their place in the playoffs. However, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings close behind on 17 points, the race for a top-two spot is still very much alive. LSG saw their playoff hopes dashed after a comprehensive defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad earlier in the week. The Rishabh Pant-led side, now on a four-match losing streak, has endured a campaign riddled with inconsistency and injuries.
There is no rain predicted in the run-up to the game, with the sky expected to be clear at the toss. The temperature will be just a shade under 40°C, with the evening being relatively cooler, according to Accuweather.com. Humidity will be around 38% with a slight breeze blowing from south-south-west.
From the 10 T20 games played at the venue, teams batting first have had the upper hand, with six wins. The average score is around 160 in the first innings.
In the last game played at the venue, GT smashed a record total of 224, and Sunrisers Hyderabad only managed to reach 186 in their 20 overs.
LSG Impact Players: Himmat Singh, Shahbaz Ahamad, M Siddharth, Shardul Thakur, David Miller.
Players to watch:
Sai Sudharsan: The opening batter currently holds the Orange cap with 617 runs from 12 games and will surely look to stay ahead of his captain, Shubman Gill, who is the second on the list of highest run-getters.
Rishabh Pant: With multiple failures with the bat, the LSG skipper will want to finally get a big score and prove his critics wrong, who have questioned his INR 27 core price tag.

Shashank Singh Relives IPL Final Last Over Drama, One Regret That Keeps Haunting Him
Punjab Kings' dream of lifting their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title fell short by just 6 runs as Royal Challengers Bengaluru emerged triumphant in the final on Tuesday. It was PBKS batter Shashank Singh's late heroics that brought the team close to RCB's total of 190 runs, though the batter took the team across the finish line despite his 30-ball 61. Less than a week after the heartbreak in Ahmedabad, Shashank said that the fact that he missed Josh Hazlewood 's full toss in the final over still continues to haunt him. Punjab needed 29 runs to win the match in the final over, with Shashank on strike. Anticipating a yorker, the batter had prepared himself but Hazlewood delivered a thigh-high full-toss, leaving him surprised. On the first two balls no run was scored. Shashank managed to score 22 runs on from the next 4 deliveries, but it wasn't enough. "I had done my calculation of the last two overs, Bhuvi likes to bowl yorkers so I had planned to get at least 16-17 runs from him. My calculation was that in the last over our target should be 24 runs in 6 balls. I got only 13 from Bhuvi's over though, so the final over runs needed was 30," Singh said in a chat with the Indian Express. "Mentally, my mind was ready to get a first ball yorker from Hazelwood. So I had positioned myself but I never anticipated a full toss one, that too on my thigh pad. Now I feel, if I would have connected it, even if I got it on the handle of the bat, I would have got maximum, because the fine-leg was near. I was hoping for a wide from him but it never came. When I saw the scoreboard stating the last ball needed 12 runs, I knew it's all over," he added. As Shashank went to the dressing room, he couldn't stop crying. Even though people praised the effort he put in the middle. The full toss hi missed on the first ball of the final over still haunts him. "I'm a strong person but I couldn't control myself when I hit that six on the fifth ball and I saw 12 runs needed off the last ball. I realised it's all over. When I came to the dressing room, everyone came and said, why am I crying? I told them, mujhe apne aap aansoon aa raha hai," he shared. "People appreciated my batting wherever I have gone but all are reminding me of that one full toss miss. Mujhe bahut bura laga. The ball was on my hip, square leg was up, I just had to get that bat in which I couldn't. From hotel to airport to ground to home, everyone had that one point bhaiyya woh ball mar dete bas," he says. The batter has pledged to not just make it to the final of IPL 2026 in Bengaluru but also win the title. "Next year we are playing the final in Bangalore for sure and we will lift the Trophy too," he said.
