Predicted Impact Players for Lucknow Super Giants

• Himmat Singh – A right-handed domestic batter who can be used as an impact substitute if LSG lose early wickets in the first innings.
• Manimaran Siddharth – Siddharth, the left-arm spinner, is a suitable choice for being subbed if conditions favour spinners. He was used as an Impact Player in LSG's opening match against Delhi Capitals and picked up two wickets.
• Abdul Samad – An aggressive batter who performed well for SRH last season, Samad can be used as a substitute in the second innings if conditions are favourable for batting.
• Rajvardhan Hangargekar – A bowling all-rounder who has picked up 14 wickets in 16 T20 matches. Hangargekar can also be handy with the bat and may be subbed in if a strong finish is needed in the first innings, while also providing a bowling option in the second innings.

Predicted Impact players for Gujarat Titans (GT)

• Anuj Rawat – The talented batter can be used as an impact substitute if Gujarat lose early wickets while batting first or if they are chasing a big target in the second innings.
• Ishant Sharma – The experienced pacer can be utilised as an impact player when bowling second, especially if the conditions favour pacers. He has picked up 93 wickets in 110 IPL matches.
• Sherfane Rutherford – He provides an option as a middle-order batter and was used as an impact substitute in the last game against PBKS. He might be brought in if GT needs extra batting depth after losing early wickets, or he can be introduced in the second innings by replacing a bowler.
• Glenn Phillips – He was also named in the impact player list in the previous match and can be used as an impact substitute in the second innings if the pitch is good for batting.
