IPL 2026: Shubman Gill hits back at critics – ‘I don’t need to prove my worth’ Gujarat Titans’ strong top order led by Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler face a tough challenge against the Lucknow Super Giants pace attack, who have dominated the Powerplay this season with excellent averages and economies. While LSG’s bowling has been strong, there are vulnerabilities, their reliance on standouts from the likes of Mukul Choudhary and a dip in the form of Nicholas Pooran, who has struggled this season after switching batting positions, could offer GT a fighting chance.

LSG vs GT Today IPL Match: Pitch Report
The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium for this afternoon’s clash is expected to be a classic black clay surface that will offer a close ‘sporting’ match. While batsmen will find the ball on the bat nicely in the early stages, the intense 36°C heat is likely to bake the surface, causing it to slow down and offer variable bounce as the match progresses. With no dew factor to worry about at this 3.30pm start, a first innings total of 175-185 is predicted to be highly competitive on this tiring track.
