Gujarat Titans vs Lucknow Super Giants Playing 11: Shubman Gill's GT face Rishabh Pant's LSG at home (Sportzpics)The Gujarat Titans host the Lucknow Super Giants in the first of what could be seven dead rubbers at the end of the league stage of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). Strictly speaking, it isn’t entirely a dead rubber as GT still have to hold on to their top spot, or at least stay in the top two, to ensure a favourable path to the final.
GT are sitting at the top of the table but they are separated from the fourth-placed Mumbai Indians by just two points. Once again, they will be reliant on their high-performing top order of Orange Cap holder B Sai Sudharsan (617 runs), skipper Shubman Gill (601), and Jos Buttler (500) to provide the goods. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants saw their playoff hopes dashed after a comprehensive defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday.
The Rishabh Pant-led side, now on a four-match losing streak, has endured a campaign riddled with inconsistency and injuries.GT Predicted XII: Shubman Gill(c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler(wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj.
