Jos Buttler had a standout IPL 2025 season with the Gujarat Titans, reaffirming his status as one of the league’s most explosive openers. Although he has been moved to the number three position in the GT batting lineup, Buttler lived up to expectations by scoring 500 runs in 12 innings at a remarkable average of 71.43 and a blazing strike rate of 163.93. He notched up five half-centuries, with a highest score of 97*, and consistently dominated opposition attacks.
However, Buttler’s record against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) tells a different story. In six IPL innings against LSG, he has managed just 116 runs at an average of 19.33, with a strike rate of 117.17, well below his career and 2025 season standards. His highest score against LSG is 40, and he is yet to score a half-century against them. In the previous meeting between these two sides in 2025 season specifically, he played one match against LSG and scored a modest 16 runs off 14 balls.

Brief preview of upcoming GT vs LSG IPL 2025 match
The Gujarat Titans (GT) are set to face the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 64 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 22. GT, led by Shubman Gill, have already secured a playoff spot with 18 points from 12 matches and are aiming for a top-two finish to gain a strategic advantage in the knockout stage. A victory in this match would bolster their position and provide a cushion in the playoffs.
On the other hand, LSG, captained by Rishabh Pant, have been eliminated from playoff contention and will look to end their campaign on a positive note. Historically, GT have dominated the rivalry, winning four out of six contests, though LSG claimed victory in their most recent meeting.
