Gujarat Titans Roar Back with Dominant Win Over LSG
The 64th match of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium turned into a breathtaking show of character, grit, and passion. Gujarat Titans (GT), battling to stay alive in the playoff race, rose like warriors to dismantle the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a match filled with high-octane moments.
With the home crowd thundering in the background, GT put up a complete performance — led by Shubman Gill’s elegance, Sai Sudharsan’s calmness, and some magical bowling spells.
A Much-Needed Comeback for Gujarat Titans
The Titans Rise When It Matters
Gujarat Titans, once considered top contenders, had slipped in form midway through the season. But the 64th match was their redemption song. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, GT came out with intent.
Captain Shubman Gill led from the front, crafting a stunning half-century with style and control. Partnering with Sai Sudharsan, the duo put together a vital 88-run partnership, giving the Titans a solid platform.
Sudharsan’s innings was a lesson in composure. He rotated the strike, punished bad balls, and allowed Gill to play freely. Their chemistry was evident, their eyes set on a fighting total — and they achieved just that.
GT Post a Competitive Total
Shubman’s Grace and Rahul Tewatia’s Power
GT’s innings was powered by Gill’s 65 off 42 balls, packed with silken drives and clever improvisation. As the innings neared its end, Rahul Tewatia walked in like a storm. His quickfire 35* off just 14 balls lifted the Titans to 183/5 — a competitive score that gave their bowlers something to work with.
The Titans knew they needed more than just runs. They needed belief. And in the second innings, that belief took the form of fire-breathing bowlers.
Lucknow Super Giants Falter Under Pressure
LSG’s Chase Falls Flat
LSG had a powerful batting order on paper, but cricket isn’t played on paper. Chasing 184, they started cautiously but soon crumbled under pressure. Mohammed Shami was back in his element, swinging the new ball and rattling the top order. He dismissed KL Rahul early, silencing the LSG camp.
From there, Rashid Khan spun a web around the middle order. His variations proved too much for the batters, who kept falling at regular intervals.

Rashid, Shami, and Noor Deliver Magic
Rashid Khan (3/21) and Mohammed Shami (2/18) were the pick of the bowlers, but Noor Ahmad also chipped in with a crucial breakthrough. GT’s bowling attack looked disciplined, lethal, and inspired.
LSG could only manage 139/8 in their 20 overs, handing Gujarat Titans a much-needed win by 44 runs. It was not just a victory — it was a statement.
A Night of Emotion, Unity, and Hope
The Fans Felt It Too
As the final wicket fell, the entire stadium erupted. The Gujarat Titans players embraced each other — not just for the win, but for the fight they put in.
The win doesn’t just boost their position on the points table — it reignites their playoff hopes. More importantly, it brings back the spirit and hunger that defines championship teams.
This wasn’t just cricket. It was about heart. About answering critics. About fighting when no one believed you would.
