In one of the most keenly awaited encounters of IPL 2025, the Gujarat Titans are preparing to meet the unpredictable Lucknow Super Giants, and everyone’s eyes are on Orange Cap leader Nicholas Pooran. As known for his fearlessness with the bat and game-changing skills, Pooran is a big threat to the tightly-knit Titans bowling attack.
Gujarat, who are riding high on a tide of consistency this year, have banked on their robust middle-order and pace bowling to eke out narrow wins. Ahead of the playoffs, Hardik Pandya’s team will seek to reinforce their top-four position by defeating a Lucknow unit that’s as risky as it is perilous.
Lucknow, however, has had flashes of brilliance but lacked cohesion. Pooran’s current form may be their X-factor, but the team will require assistance from the likes of KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis if they wish to overwhelm the Titans’ strategic advantage.
As both sides clash in this electric encounter, the Titans’ prime goal will be straightforward: stem Pooran in the early stages, or see the game go down the drain in a sea of sixes.
