IPL 2025 Fantasy League: Fantasy XI for Match 64 - GT vs LSG | IPL Fantasy Tips
The Gujarat Titans (GT) will square off against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 64th match of IPL 2025 on Thursday, May 22. The match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
With Axar Patel ruled out of yesterday's (May 21) clash against the Mumbai Indians (MI), we pivoted and changed our transfer plans, taking Noor Ahmad out for Mustafizur Rahman, retaining Ravindra Jadeja in the process.
Players playing in Match 63: KL Rahul (DC) (WK) (10 Credits), Jasprit Bumrah (MI) (BOWL) (10 Credits), Mustafizur Rahman (DC) (BOWL) (8 Credits), Suryakumar Yadav (MI) (BAT) (10 Credits), Kuldeep Yadav (DC) (BOWL) (9.5 Credits), and Ryan Rickelton (MI) (WK) (8.5 Credits).
Captain: KL Rahul. | Vice-Captain: Suryakumar Yadav.
Total Points: 20,924.5.
We have two players on our team from this match and plan to make four transfers.
Transfer Deadline: Thursday, May 22, 7.30 pm IST.
Note: The suggested team may change depending on the toss or other unexpected team news. Any such changes will be updated for the next match day.
Transfers
Transfers Made: 4 | Transfers Remaining: 29.
1) Ravindra Jadeja (CSK) (ALL) (10 Credits) - OUT | Aiden Markram (LSG) (ALL) (9.5 Credits) - IN
2) Suryakumar Yadav (MI) (BAT) (10 Credits) - OUT | Nicholas Pooran (LSG) (WK) (10 Credits) - IN
3) Jasprit Bumrah (MI) (BOWL) (10 Credits) - OUT | Jos Buttler (GT) (WK) (10 Credits) - IN
4) Ryan Rickelton (MI) (WK) (8.5 Credits) - OUT | Prasidh Krishna (GT) (BOWL) (8 Credits) - IN
With Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan already on the team for this match, we are adding Jos Buttler to get the complete GT top three on our team. They have been a class apart throughout this tournament, and with Digvesh Rathi, easily LSG's best bowler this season, suspended for this match, another batting masterclass could be on the cards from that trio.
Aiden Markram's positive head-to-head matchups against compatriot Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj make him a good option on what should be a batter-friendly surface.
Nicholas Pooran somewhat returned to form in LSG's last outing and has generally done well in matches outside the Ekana Stadium this season. While he could struggle against the pace and bounce of Rabada and Prasidh, he certainly has a high points ceiling, which makes him a good option for this match.
Lastly, Prasidh Krishna is an easy transfer in for this fixture. The GT seamer is the current Purple Cap holder and will no doubt make life difficult for the LSG batters this evening.
IPL Fantasy 2025 - Fantasy XI for Match 64 - GT vs LSG: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 64: Shubman Gill (GT) (BAT) (10 Credits), Sai Sudharsan (GT) (BAT) (9.5 Credits), Prasidh Krishna (GT) (BOWL) (8 Credits), Jos Buttler (GT) (WK) (10 Credits), Aiden Markram (LSG) (ALL) (9.5 Credits), and Nicholas Pooran (LSG) (WK) (10 Credits).
One of the GT top three is sure to be the captain, and while we don't do this often, we might even be tempted to double up on their batting unit with our captaincy decisions today. Prasidh Krishna and Aiden Markram would be our preferred alternatives.
