The clash will unfold at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
On April 12, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will cross swords with Gujarat Titans (GT) for Match No.26 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The clash will unfold at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
The Rishabh Pant-led LSG have won three and lost two games so far. Their latest fixture was a narrow four-run win against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Shubman Gill’s GT started IPL 2025 with a loss, but bounced back beautifully with four wins on the trot. The Titans dominated the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 58 runs in their last fixture.
Nicholas Pooran is currently the Orange Cap holder with 288 runs in five games. He has a mind-blowing average of 72 and a blazing strike rate of 225. He has struck three half-centuries in the tournament so far. During LSG’s last match against KKR, Pooran punished the bowlers with an 87 not out from just 36 balls. His keeping skills are a bonus; take advantage of his purple patch for your fantasy team.
Sai Sudharsan is second in line for the top run-getter of the tournament with 273 runs in five games. The 23-year-old has been a mainstay for GT. He holds an average of 54.60 with a strike rate of 151.66. He has also struck three half-centuries so far. Against the Royals in the last match, Sudharsan slammed 82 off 53 with three sixes and eight boundaries. Back the opener as your captain.
The Protea all-rounder got off to a slow start this season but stepped it up in his last couple of games. After five matches, Markram has made 144 runs at an average of 28.80 and a strike rate of 142.57. He is the third-highest run-getter for LSG so far. He built a solid first-wicket partnership with Mitchell Marsh in the last game vs KKR, with Markram contributing with 47 off 28. Though he is yet to bowl in the tournament, you can back him as one of your top captaincy picks.
