Gujarat Titans (GT) will kick off their IPL 2025 campaign against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. The Titans, who won the IPL in 2022, finished eighth last season. After Hardik Pandya’s departure to Mumbai Indians, Shubman Gill took over as captain. Under his leadership, the two-time finalists secured five wins and two no-results in 14 games. Gill will aim to guide his side to the playoffs this season, starting with a strong performance in the opening match.
Punjab Kings had a similar run in IPL 2024, finishing ninth with five wins and nine losses. They will hope to improve their record this season. PBKS made headlines in the mega-auction by signing last year’s IPL-winning captain Shreyas Iyer. Fans are eager to see if the team can reach the final for the first time since 2014.
