The exploits of Gujarat Titans’ top three in IPL 2025 have garnered accolades from all corners, and rightly so, but closely following their heels are LSG’s overseas trio of Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran.

Lucknow Super Giant's overseas trio makes perfect antidote to Titans bowling attack

The trio has formed their top three largely, except for a couple of instances when Rishabh Pant chipped in.

In terms of average, LSG’s top three is only below that of Titans, while only Punjab’s top three score quicker. Their 16 fifty-scores are again only one below that of Titans’ 17, while the 93 sixes combined is the highest in the tournament. The trio became the first from overseas, where each of them aggregated 400+ runs in an IPL season for a team.

LSG having managed to stitch together just six wins, of which two have come against Titans - the table toppers, who have lost only two out of their 11 games against other opponents. Titans, in whose ranks three bowlers have donned the Purple Cap at various times in the season, have managed to pick only six wickets in two games against LSG. GT attack average 69.50 and have a strike rate of 39.5 against LSG, both the worst for them against an opposition in IPL 2025.
