LSG vs GT Best Playing 11 Comparison for IPL 2025

If we compare the best openers in the GT and LSG squad, we see a solid opening combination in both teams. While GT will see Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler as openers, LSG will see Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh as openers. Both teams have a solid opening combination, but GT looks better with better performance in the IPL. However, Markram and Marsh are potent batters, and on their given day can rattle any bowling in the world. 

For the middle-order, we are looking at Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, and Glenn Phillips for Gujarat Titans. Whereas for Lucknow Super Giants, we are looking at Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran, and Ayush Badoni. Clearly, one can say that Lucknow Super Giants have more firepower in their middle-order, and if Miller comes above Badoni, then there is no better middle-order than this. However, GT has inexperience in their middle-order as compared to LSG.

Coming to finishers, we are looking at Rahul Tewatia, Mahipal Lomror, and Washington Sundar for Gujarat Titans. Whereas for Lucknow Super Giants, we are looking at David Miller, Abdul Samad, and Shahbaz Ahmed. Now, on paper, LSG look slightly better here with the presence of David Miller. Whereas for GT, there is once again inexperience present, and that can be tricky in crucial pressure situations. 

Bowling up – LSG sv GT

Finally, talking about the bowling lineup, we have Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada as the leading bowlers for Gujarat Titans. Whereas for Lucknow Super Giants, Mayank Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi are the leading bowlers. In terms of leading bowlers, GT are more potent than LSG. Both GT spearhead bowlers are experienced, and among the best in the world. Whereas LSG spearhead bowlers are inexperienced in comparison.  

In terms of supporting bowlers, we are looking at Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, and Mahipal Lomror for Gujarat Titans. Whereas for Lucknow Super Giants, we are looking at Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Mitchell Marsh, and Shahbaz Ahmed. Comparing the support bowlers, LSG look slightly better and more experienced. But it’s almost a neck-and-neck kind of situation, and if we add the leading two bowlers, Gujarat Titans take the cherry.
