The exciting GT vs LSG IPL 2025 encounter not only produced exhilarating cricket but also made important shifts in the IPL 2025 Points Table, Orange Cap, and Purple Cap lists. Although Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) produced a shocking 33-run win against Gujarat Titans (GT), the result had critical consequences on the league’s top two spots.

IPL 2025 Points Table: Gujarat Miss Top-Two Lock, Lucknow Ends on a High
| Rank | Teams | Played | Won | Lost | No Result | Points | NRR |
| 1 | Gujarat Titans (Q) | 13 | 9 | 4 | 0 | 18 | 0.602 |
| 2 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Q) | 12 | 8 | 3 | 1 | 17 | 0.482 |
| 3 | Punjab Kings (Q) | 12 | 8 | 3 | 1 | 17 | 0.389 |
| 4 | Mumbai Indians (Q) | 13 | 8 | 5 | 0 | 16 | 1.239 |
| 5 | Delhi Capitals (E) | 13 | 6 | 6 | 1 | 13 | 0.049 |
| 6 | Kolkata Knight Riders (E) | 13 | 5 | 6 | 2 | 12 | 0.193 |
| 7 | Lucknow Super Giants (E) | 13 | 6 | 7 | 0 | 12 | -0.337 |
| 8 | Sunrisers Hyderabad (E) | 12 | 4 | 7 | 1 | 9 | -1.005 |
| 9 | Rajasthan Royals (E) | 14 | 4 | 10 | 0 | 8 | -0.549 |
| 10 | Chennai Super Kings (E) | 13 | 3 | 10 | 0 | 6 | -1.030 |
Even though they were at the top of the IPL 2025 Points Table, Gujarat Titans lost a golden chance to confirm a top-two spot when they lost to LSG. If Shubman Gill’s team had won, they would have secured their place in the top two before the playoffs.
As it is, GT will have to depend on the Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) results now to make sure they secure a top-two position. Punjab and RCB are tied on 17 points each, with two remaining league games. GT will be hoping that one of them loses a match to maintain their second-place chances.
