IPL 2025 Sai Sudharsan and captain Shubman Gill put on a powerful 120-run partnership for the first wicket as the visiting Gujarat Titans (GT) got off to a fast start against the home team, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). But once Gill was removed, the tide turned, as LSG bowlers started hitting at regular intervals to slow GT’s scoring. GT was only able to reach 180 for 6 in their 20 overs, despite their encouraging start. With two wickets apiece, Shardul Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi were the most impressive bowlers for LSG.
LSG responded by starting with a new lineup that included Aiden Markram and captain Rishabh Pant. They added 65 runs for the opening wicket, giving them a solid start. Nicholas Pooran joined Markram when Pant left, and the two of them created a game-winning 58-run partnership for the second wicket. Pooran soared to 61 off just 34 deliveries, hitting seven sixes, while Markram played a fluid knock of 58 from 31 balls.
With three balls remaining and six wickets remaining, LSG chased down the score, and Ayush Badoni (24 off 20) completed the match with a six. In six games during the 2025 IPL season, this was LSG’s fourth victory.
The only bowler who was able to keep things tight for GT was Prasidh Krishna, who took two wickets and gave up just 26 runs. However, in his four overs, Mohammad Siraj scored fifty runs.
