2022: Gujarat Titans Make a Dream Start
GT won the 2022 title in their first season, while LSG finished third and lost the Eliminator. COVID-19 restrictions kept LSG’s league games in Maharashtra, so neither meeting was in Lucknow.
March 28, 2022: GT Won by 5 Wickets
It was the first IPL game for both sides. GT captain Hardik Pandya chose to field, and Mohammed Shami removed KL Rahul with the very first ball. LSG slid to 29/4 before Deepak Hooda and debutant Ayush Badoni both hit fifties, lifting them to 158/6. Shami took 3/25 and won Player of the Match.
GT were 88/4 after 14 overs. Then Rahul Tewatia (40 not out off 24) and David Miller added 60, attacking Hooda and Ravi Bishnoi for 22 and 17 in back-to-back overs. GT got home with two balls to spare.
May 10, 2022: GT Won by 62 Runs
Batting on a slow Pune pitch, GT managed only 144/4, but Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 63 held the innings together. LSG then collapsed to 82 all out in 13.5 overs. Rashid Khan took 4/24, Sai Kishore 2/7 and Yash Dayal 2/24.
The win made GT the first team to seal an IPL 2022 playoff spot.
2023: Gujarat Titans Continue Their Dominance
LSG finally played at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium in 2023, but GT won both games to stretch their winning start to four. GT went on to reach the final, while LSG lost the Eliminator to Mumbai Indians.
April 22, 2023: GT Won by 7 Runs
This low-scoring thriller is the tightest match by runs. GT made just 135/6 on a slow surface, with Hardik Pandya’s 66 off 50 doing most of the work. LSG were 105/1 after 14 overs, and KL Rahul made 68 off 61, but they went 45 balls without a boundary.
LSG needed 12 off the last over with seven wickets in hand. Mohit Sharma conceded four runs and four wickets fell, two of them run-outs. LSG ended on 128/7, and Mohit won Player of the Match.
May 7, 2023: GT Won by 56 Runs
Wriddhiman Saha (81 off 43) and Shubman Gill (94 not out off 51) put on 142 for the first wicket, then the highest partnership in GT’s history. GT posted 227/2.
Quinton de Kock (70) and Kyle Mayers (48) gave LSG an 88-run start, but Mohit Sharma broke it and finished with 4/29. LSG ended on 171/7. Krunal Pandya captained LSG against his brother Hardik, only the second pair of brothers to captain opposing sides in T20 cricket.
2024: Lucknow Super Giants Finally Break Through
In their fifth attempt, LSG beat GT on April 7, 2024 at Ekana, by 33 runs. Only one meeting took place that season.
Marcus Stoinis made 58 off 43 and added 73 with KL Rahul (33) after LSG fell to 18/2. Nicholas Pooran’s 32 off 22 pushed the total to 163/5. GT started the chase at 54/0 through Sai Sudharsan and Gill, then lost all ten wickets for 76 more runs.
Yash Thakur took 5/30, his first IPL five-wicket haul, and won Player of the Match. Krunal Pandya added 3/11.
2025: LSG Take Control of the Rivalry
Rishabh Pant, bought for ₹27 crore, captained LSG for the first time, and Jos Buttler joined GT. LSG won both meetings, making it three straight wins over GT.
April 12, 2025: LSG Won by 6 Wickets
GT posted 180/6 on the back of fifties from Gill (60 off 38) and Sudharsan (56 off 37). LSG chased it down at 186/4 in 19.3 overs. Aiden Markram hit 58 off 31 and took Player of the Match, and Pooran added 61 off 34 with seven sixes. Ayush Badoni finished the job, while Prasidh Krishna took 2/26 for GT.
May 22, 2025: LSG Won by 33 Runs
Gill chose to bowl, and Mitchell Marsh made him pay. Marsh hit 117 off 64, his first IPL hundred, sharing a 91-run opening stand with Markram and a 121-run stand with Pooran (56 not out off 27). LSG’s 235/2 is the highest total in this rivalry.
GT lost Gill, Sudharsan and Buttler inside 9.3 overs, and Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan (57 off 29) added 86 in 40 balls, but GT ended on 202/9. The loss hurt GT’s top-two hopes.
2026: Gujarat Titans Stop the LSG Winning Run
IPL 2026 again produced a single meeting, because both teams sat in Group B and played each other once. It came on April 12 at Ekana, and it ended LSG’s three-match run over GT.
Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler Lead the Chase
Gill chose to field, and Prasidh Krishna made it count with 4/28 as LSG limped to 164/8. Markram top-scored with 30, while Pooran scratched out 19 off 21. Mohammed Shami, a GT hero in the early meetings, now bowled for LSG and conceded 36 in four overs, including 20 in one Gill over.
GT chased 165 in 18.4 overs with seven wickets in hand. Gill made 56 off 40 and Buttler 60 off 37, his 100th T20 fifty. Washington Sundar and Tewatia finished it, and Prasidh took Player of the Match.

Super Giants vs Titans: How the Rivalry Has Changed

Phase 2: LSG Fight Back

Jos Buttler
