IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans – Match Updates
Ekana Stadium, Lucknow: Lucknow Super Giants will take on Gujarat Titans in an exciting Saturday clash at the Ekana Stadium. Both teams are eyeing another win to keep their momentum alive in the ongoing IPL 2025 season.
Lucknow will be without the services of in-form all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who is unavailable for this fixture. In his absence, Himmat Singh has been added to the playing XI. LSG captain Rishabh Pant, despite his own struggles with the bat this season, won the toss and chose to bowl first.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have made just one change to their playing XI. Washington Sundar comes in for Kulwant Khejroliya as the Titans aim for their fifth consecutive win after a strong comeback from their opening loss to Punjab Kings.
Gujarat Titans Sit on Top, But Delhi Close Behind
The Titans currently lead the IPL 2025 points table with 8 points and a better net run rate than Delhi Capitals, who are also unbeaten but have played one game less. If DC win their upcoming match against Mumbai Indians, or if GT fall to LSG, the table could shift.
Meanwhile, Lucknow sits in 6th position and needs a win today to move up. With three wins and two losses so far, they’ve shown flashes of brilliance but have struggled with consistency.

Gujarat Titans Playing XI:
Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (captain), Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, R. Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj

Match Context and What to Watch
As the Titans look to extend their winning streak, the pressure is on LSG to get back on track, especially with Marsh missing. Fans will be watching closely to see if Rishabh Pant can rediscover his form and whether Gujarat can continue their dominant run.
