Gujarat Titans vs Lucknow Super Giants Head to Head — All IPL Matches, Records, Stats

The Youngest Rivalry in IPL History

When the Indian Premier League expanded from eight to ten franchises in 2022, two brand-new teams — Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants — were dropped into the deep end simultaneously. Remarkably, they met in only Match 4 of their debut season. Across 7 meetings from 2022 to 2025, Gujarat Titans lead the head-to-head record 4-3 — but the trajectory tells a far more compelling story. Gujarat won the first four encounters without a single loss, then Lucknow stormed back with three consecutive victories, levelling the psychological balance entirely.

This is a rivalry defined not by decades of history but by dramatic momentum swings. Both franchises reached the IPL playoffs in their debut season — Gujarat Titans winning the 2022 title outright and Lucknow Super Giants reaching the Eliminator. The two teams were conceived in the same auction cycle, launched in the same week, and have been locked in a seesaw battle ever since. With just 7 meetings on record, every single result has meaningfully shifted the balance of power.

All-Time Head-to-Head Record

Gujarat's 57.1% win rate masks the chronological split: 100% in 2022–2023, 0% in 2024–2025. No other IPL rivalry has seen such a clean reversal of dominance in consecutive phases.

Last 5 Meetings

The pattern is unmistakable. Lucknow Super Giants have won the last three meetings in succession, including a 33-run victory at Gujarat's home ground in Ahmedabad in May 2025. That result in particular — Mitchell Marsh earning the Player of the Match award at the Narendra Modi Stadium — signalled that LSG had genuinely cracked the code against the Titans in their own fortress.

Defining Moments

The 62-Run Demolition — Pune, May 2022

The single largest margin of victory in this rivalry came in Match 57 of the 2022 season at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Gujarat Titans, already confirmed as playoff contenders, posted a commanding total and then dismantled the Lucknow batting order for a 62-run win. Shubman Gill earned the Player of the Match award with a fluent innings that underlined his emergence as one of the IPL's most promising young batters. For Lucknow, it was a harsh lesson in the gulf between competing and dominating — a gap they would spend two years closing.

The 7-Run Thriller — Lucknow, April 2023

If the 62-run blowout was the rivalry's most one-sided chapter, Match 30 of 2023 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium was its tightest. Gujarat Titans defended their total by just 7 runs — the narrowest margin of victory in all 7 meetings. Mohsin Khan earned the Player of the Match award in a contest that could have swung either way in the final two overs. This was the match that first suggested Lucknow were capable of pushing Gujarat to the edge. The 7-run margin separated the two sides on the field, but the competitive gap had visibly narrowed.

The Lucknow Revenge Series — 2024 and 2025

After four consecutive losses to Gujarat spanning 2022 and 2023, Lucknow Super Giants finally broke through in April 2024 with a comprehensive 33-run win at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Yash Thakur's Player of the Match performance anchored a bowling display that Gujarat simply could not answer. That single result opened the floodgates: LSG then won both meetings in 2025 — Aiden Markram steering a 6-wicket chase in Lucknow before Mitchell Marsh led a 33-run victory in Ahmedabad itself. Three wins in succession, including one on enemy territory, turned a 4-0 deficit into a 4-3 series with all the momentum firmly on Lucknow's side.

Venue Split

The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow has hosted the most meetings between these two sides — 3 of the 7 — and Lucknow Super Giants hold a 2-1 advantage there. Crucially, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat's home ground and the largest cricket stadium in the world, is split 1-1. Lucknow's 2025 win at the 132,000-seat venue in Ahmedabad was a statement result that denied Gujarat any meaningful home advantage in this fixture. The two neutral-venue meetings (Wankhede in Mumbai and MCA Stadium in Pune) were both held during the 2022 season when COVID protocols meant franchises played at centralised venues — both went Gujarat's way.

Gujarat's Early Dominance: 2022–2023

In the first two seasons of this rivalry, Gujarat Titans were utterly dominant. They won all four meetings between 2022 and 2023 — by 5 wickets, 62 runs, 7 runs, and 56 runs respectively. This was the era when Gujarat, under Hardik Pandya's captaincy, were the most feared team in the IPL. They won the 2022 title in their debut season, finished runners-up in 2023, and treated the fixture against fellow newcomers Lucknow as a near-formality. The combined winning margin across those four games — measured by runs in the three batting-first victories — was a staggering 125 runs. Shubman Gill was the dominant individual force, earning two of the four Player of the Match awards in this phase.

The Rivalry's Place in IPL History

The Gujarat Titans versus Lucknow Super Giants rivalry occupies a unique position in IPL lore: it is the only head-to-head between two teams that entered the league in the same season. Unlike MI versus CSK or RCB versus KKR, there are no pre-2022 memories to draw upon — no inherited grudges, no legacy captains who crossed sides. Every chapter of this rivalry has been written in real time. The clean 4-0 to 4-3 momentum swing across just four seasons makes it one of the IPL's most dynamic ongoing contests. With both franchises building long-term squads through the mega-auction cycle, this fixture will be revisited every IPL season as both teams continue to define their identities against the only opponent who shares their exact origin story.
