GT vs LSG IPL 2025: Captains' Thoughts
Rishabh Pant (Lucknow Super Giants Captain): We are going to bowl first. The wicket looks good. We want to exploit the surface under the sun. I am happy with the team winning the previous two matches. The team is responding well now. We are encouraging. Just one change. Mitchell Marsh is not playing. Himmat Singh comes in.
Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans Captain): Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans Captain): "I would've bowled first as well but I don't think the wicket is going to change much. We decided to bowl first because it's always good to have a target on the board and then chase it down. Everyone is contributing in their way including the coaching staffs. Things are going really well for us. Not really. For us it's taking one game at a time. We don't think much about how many games we have won or lost in the past. It's all about coming on that day and performing for the day. Yes, we have 1 change. Washi (Sundar) comes in for Kulwant (Khejroliya)."
