As the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) prepare to take the field for their next match of the IPL 2025 season against the Gujarat Titans at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 22 at 7:30 PM IST, captain Rishabh Pant has underlined the importance of maintaining a positive mindset despite the team’s early exit from the playoff race.

Speaking ahead of the encounter, Pant shared insights into the team's mental approach. “Generally the thought process was, we're going to look at the positive side instead of thinking about the negative. And that's how the mindset works. That's how we want to build our processes around the team—that instead of looking at the negative side, let's look at the positive and embrace it,” Pant said.

LSG, who failed to secure a playoff berth this season, are using their next fixture as an opportunity to reflect on the campaign, support each other, and finish on a high note. Pant praised the atmosphere within the camp, pointing to the team’s unity and collective focus, even in the face of disappointment.

Gujarat Titans will be taking on Lucknow Super Giants at Narendra Modi Stadium

The Gujarat Titans will take on the Lucknow Super Giants in the 64th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 22, 2025, at the 7:30 PM IST. This match promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams with different fortunes in the tournament.

Gujarat Titans are in excellent form, with nine wins this season, the most by any team. They recently stunned Delhi Capitals by chasing down a target of 200 runs without losing a single wicket, marking their third consecutive victory. Sai Sudharsan is in top form, topping the Orange Cap chart with 617 runs in 12 games. Shubman Gill is another reliable batter, and his performance will be crucial in this match.

Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, are on a four-match losing streak and are lacking consistency. They have struggled to find their footing in the tournament, and their recent performances have been disappointing. Despite this, they have the firepower to upset the hosts, and their explosive batting can't be underestimated.
