Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings will play against each other in Match 5 of IPL 2025 on Tuesday, 25th March, 2025.
Match Overview
Gujarat Titans will play against the Punjab Kings in the 5th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 at the famous Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, 25th March. In the TATA IPL 2024 both the teams missed out on the playoff spot completing 8th and 9th position respectively. With the 18th edition of IPL, GT and PBKS both will look to change their fortune.
Gujarat Titans in their very first season in 2022 and finishing as runners-up in 2023. Though 2024 was a upsetting season as GT finished eight. With under the captaincy of Shubham Gill, the GT are looking to make a strong comeback, having remained their core player and changing some new players. Addition of Kagiso Rabada, Jos Buttler and Mohammed Siraj has strengthened the team, with Rashid Khan also in the unravel. Though, the over-reliance on top-order batters Shubham Gill, Jos Buttler, and Sai Sudharsan could be a examine.
On the other side, PBKS have not qualified for playoffs since 2014. However, a totally new squad and the appointment of Shreyash Iyer as skipper with Ricky Pointing as team head coach have given Punjab Kings fresh hope and perspective. With Shreyash Iyer leading the batting lineup, along with Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, and Josh Inglis, PBKS acquired some key players. Their balling lineup features Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson, and Yuzvendra Chahal, who may stop Gujarat’s explosive batting order.
