Meanwhile, LSG suffered their second defeat of the season on Sunday, going down against GT by seven wickets.
Jos Buttler hit 60 off 37 balls and put on 84 runs for the second wicket with skipper Shubman Gill (56) as Gujarat chased down 165 with eight balls to spare at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium.
Gill also registered his second straight half-century but his and Buttler's wickets in the space of six deliveries raised Lucknow's hopes.
Washington Sundar, who made an unbeaten 21, and Rahul Tewatia (10) kept calm and steered the team home in 18.4 overs.
Pace bowler Prasidh Krishna set up Gujarat's second successive win with his T20 best of 4-28 to keep Lucknow down to 164-8 after being invited to bat first.
Lucknow batters got starts but failed to convert them into bigger scores with South Africa's Aiden Markram top-scoring with 30.
