LSG vs GT Match Preview, IPL 2025 – Match 26
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Preview
The Super Giants have been unpredictable this season. With three wins in five matches, they are still in playoff contention but need consistency. Their last match was a high-octane clash against KKR, where they posted 238/3 and clinched a narrow 4-run win.
Nicholas Pooran (87* off 36) and Mitchell Marsh (81 off 48) were the stars, dominating the opposition bowlers. Pooran is their leading run-getter with 288 runs at a blazing strike rate of 225, while Marsh has 265 runs and four fifties.
Aiden Markram is gaining rhythm, but concerns remain over Rishabh Pant and David Miller, who’ve failed to contribute regularly.
Bowling is their weak point, with Shardul Thakur being expensive despite picking up wickets. Digvesh Rathi has emerged as their most promising bowler, with 7 wickets and an economy of 7.75. Ravi Bishnoi, however, has struggled.
LSG Probable Playing XI
Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, Digvesh Rathi

Gujarat Titans (GT) Preview
Gujarat Titans have hit top form after an opening defeat and now top the points table with four wins. Their batting has been led by Sai Sudharsan, who has 273 runs at 54.60 average and a 151+ strike rate. His 82 (53) in the last match against Rajasthan was match-winning.
Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have chipped in, while Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan have provided solid middle-order support. Washington Sundar impressed as an impact sub and might play a bigger role in this match.
On the bowling front, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have taken wickets consistently, with Sai Kishore keeping things tight in the middle overs. Rashid Khan hasn’t fired yet, but he could be a major threat on a slow Lucknow surface.
