Gujarat Titans (GT) will be eying to strengthen theitr positon at the top of the table with anther win when they take on a bleaguered Lucknow Supoer Ginats (LSG) team in match n0-64 of the Indian premier League (IPL) match on Thursday evening.
GT are sitting at the top of the table, but they know things can change very quickly, considering only one point separates them from third-placed Punjab Kings. So, this is a must-win game for the 2022 champions, whose immediate target is to finish the regular season in the top two — which would give them two shots at making the final.
LSG, on the other hand, were knocked out of the top-four race after a six-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match.

GT vs LSG Dream11 Top Fantasy Cricket Picks
- Sai Sudarshan: The 23-year-old has been a phenom this season. In a league that boasts superstars such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Travis Head and Shreyas Iyer, to name a few, Sai Sudarshan has managed to carve out a place for himself. He has been so good that he is currently leading the Orange Cap, having accumulated 617 runs across 12 innings.
- Mitchell Marsh: The Australian all-rounder has been one of the few positives for the Lucknow Super Giants this season. In the last game, he led the scoring charts for his team with a 65-run innings off 39 balls.
- Shubman Gill: Sitting behind Sai Sudarshan on the scoring chart is none other than Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill. He has racked up 601 runs in 12 innings, sitting only 16 runs behind his teammate on the Orange Cap list.
- Aiden Markram: South African all-rounder is also in terrific form in IPL 2025. He has scored a combined 409 runs in 12 innings, courtesy of five scores of 50+. In addition, the former Sunrisers Hyderabad player has also taken wickets during crucial stages.
- Jos Buttler: The reason why Gujarat Titans have been so dominant this season is because their top three batsmen are in dominating form. Jos Buttler is averaging 71.43 in IPL 2025, which is incredible to say the least. He is in terrific form at the moment and should be in your GT vs LSG Dream11 teams.
- Nicholas Pooran: With 455 runs across 12 innings, Nicholas Pooran is leading the scoring charts for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. He belongs to a rare breed of batsmen who can take the game away from the opponent in a matter of few overs.
