Nicholas Pooran has been one of the standout performers for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the IPL 2025 season. In 12 innings, Pooran has scored 455 runs at a superb average of 41.36 and an eye-popping strike rate of 197.83, making him one of the most explosive batters in the league. Despite LSG not making the playoffs, Pooran’s 2025 campaign stands out as a personal milestone and a statement of his value in franchise T20 cricket.
Against Gujarat Titans (GT), however, Pooran's overall record has been mixed. In six matches, he has scored 134 runs at an average of 33.50 and a strike rate of 145.65, with a top score of 61 off 34 balls where he smashed a blistering seven sixes, guiding LSG to a six-wicket win over GT. That innings not only turned the tide in their head-to-head but also showcased Pooran’s ability to take down even the best bowling attacks when in form. While GT had kept him relatively quiet in past seasons, his latest innings proved that he can be a serious threat to their plans moving forward.

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.
