IPL 2025: GT vs. LSG—Player Battles to Watch Out For

Match: Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)
Date: May 22, 2025
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Key Player Duels

Shubman Gill vs Avesh Khan

Shubman Gill, the master of timing and technique, is the foundation of Gujarat's top order. Avesh Khan, who is a specialist in his sharp bouncers and yorkers, will seek to raze Gill early and leave GT reeling.

Rashid Khan vs Nicholas Pooran

Rashid's variation and control through the middle overs make him a permanent threat, particularly against attacking batsmen. Nicholas Pooran, though, lives off spin and will seek to neutralize Rashid's mystery with blitzkrieg power-hitting.

Kagiso Rabada vs Rishabh Pant

Rabada's raw speed and bounce have the ability to rattle even the greatest, particularly in pressure overs. Pant, known for his aggressive strokeplay and the capability to turn games around rapidly, will seek to overpower the South African pacer.

Sai Sudharsan vs Shardul Thakur

Sudharsan’s form and maturity at the crease have been vital for GT's consistency. Thakur, the golden-arm all-rounder, could turn the tide with his knack for picking crucial wickets at unexpected moments.

Rahul Tewatia vs Ravi Bishnoi

Tewatia’s ability to finish games with fearless batting makes him dangerous in the final overs. Bishnoi’s aggressive leg-spin and smart variations will be tested under pressure against Tewatia’s big hits.
