While PBKS, headed by seasoned captain Shreyas Iyer, hopes to finally end their 18-year quest for an IPL crown, GT, led by Shubman Gill, will look to bounce back after a disappointing eighth-place finish last season.
Iyer’s accomplishments as captain of the Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders give Punjab’s aspirations a hopeful boost. Alongside important players like Jos Buttler and Rashid Khan, Gill will try to revitalize his team after putting up a strong display during India’s Champions Trophy victory.GT vs. PBKS

Innings for the Punjab Kings :
After choosing to bat first, PBKS was unable to hold off a well-organized GT bowling attack, scoring just 142 runs in 20 overs. The majority of batters failed to convert their starts, and the innings lacked momentum. The captain, Sam Curran, fell to Rashid Khan after scoring a slow 20 off 19 balls. Rossouw had a fleeting contribution of 9 off 7, while Prabhsimran Singh demonstrated some intent, scoring 35 off 21.IPL2025
Sai Kishore dominated with figures of 4-0-34-4, destroying the middle order, while Rashid Khan (4-0-15-1) and Noor Ahmad (4-0-20-2) suppressed PBKS’s run pace. Another important player was Mohit Sharma, who claimed two wickets for thirty-two runs.
Innings of the Gujarat Titans :
Wriddhiman Saha went early for 13 off 11 as GT, chasing 143, got off to a nervous start. With a solid 35 off 29, captain Shubman Gill led the innings, but PBKS was kept in the game by fast wickets. Gill and Miller were dismissed by Livingstone’s double strike, which allowed PBKS to regain the game.IPL2025
