The form of Gujarat Titans is looking quite strong at the moment. They have won 4 out of their last 5 matches. In the last match, they achieved a stunning victory by 10 wickets against Delhi Capitals. Sai Sudharsan scored 108 runs and Shubman Gill scored 93 runs and chased the target of 199 easily. The batsmen of the team are looking full of confidence and the bowling is also consistent.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants are continuously struggling. They have won only 1 match out of the last 5 matches. They lost their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 6 wickets. Markram and Marsh played an innings of 60+ runs and Nicholas Pooran made 45 runs. But their bowling unit gave away too many runs due to which the match slipped out of their hands.
The boundaries in Narendra Modi Stadium are a little big, the front one is 67 metres and the square one is 71–72 metres. The pitch is good for both batting and bowling, spinners also get a little help. The chasing team has had more success, winning 21 out of 41 matches. Toss winning teams choose to bowl more because the pitch gets better as the match progresses. It has been 20 days since the last match to be played at this venue so, this pitch will be fresh and ready for batters.
Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants have clashed 6 times so far in which Gujarat has won 4 matches and Lucknow 2 matches. In the last head-to-head this season, LSG won by 6 wickets. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan gave a good start to Gujarat, but Pooran's 61-run blast and Markram's support proved costly for them. Before that in 2024 also, Lucknow had won by 33 runs.

Pooran has scored 32 runs in 25 balls and got out 3 times. He has played 9 dots with just 3 fours and 1 six. His strike rate is 128.0 and average is 10.7.
Gill has scored 51 runs in 45 balls and got out 2 times. He has faced 17 dots and hit 6 fours. No sixes. His strike rate is 113.3 and average is 25.5.
Devdutt Padikkal has scored 47 runs in 27 balls and got out 2 times. He has played 12 dot balls, hit 4 fours and 4 sixes. His strike rate is 174.1 and average is 23.5.
Sai Sudharsan has been the most consistent batsman for GT this season. He has scored 617 runs in 12 matches, which includes a century. In the last match, he scored 108* against DC, which makes it clear that he is in full form. He is a left-handed batsman and settles in the top order, so he seems to be a safe and smart pick.
Gill has made a blast this season. He scored 601 runs in 12 matches, and in the last few games, he has scored scores like 93*, 84 and 76. When he settles on the crease, it becomes difficult to get him out. The strike rate is also strong, and ignoring it after seeing the form can be risky.
Marsh has shown good consistency this season. He has scored 443 runs and has hit 5 fifties. He had a solid knock of 65 in the last match against SRH. He comes in the top order, scores fast runs and sometimes bowls the ball as well. Seems like a safe option, especially for smaller leagues.
Markram has regained his form in the recent matches. He has scored 61 and 52 in the last 2 innings. He also bowls a little off-spin while batting, so he has all-round value. If the pitch slows down he can be even more useful. He is a balanced pitch, safe as well as effective.
Prasidh has handled the pace attack this season. He has taken 21 wickets in 12 matches and looks dangerous in the death overs as well. In the last few matches, he has returned 2 wickets each. If wickets are needed, ignoring Prasidh could be a mistake.
Badoni has come in the middle order and given important knocks. He has scored 329 runs this season and scores like 74 and 36 show his potential. Badoni becomes more valuable when the top order falls. It is a strong pick for GL and can be tried in safer leagues as well.
Rahul Tewatia is a core finisher for Gujarat Titans, however this season he didn't have to bother much as his team’s top order is delivering well in each match. He will play in the lower middle order and will do the finishing touches for the team. His role is very important for the team but not for a fantasy user. You can avoid him in your Dream11 team.
Abdul Samad is also a reliable player for his team but he will not give you many points in Dream11 because of his position to bat in the team. Samad bats in the lower order which has restricted his potential to give more points so you can avoid him in your dream11 team.
