Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans (GT) will begin their IPL 2025 campaign against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Gujarat, the 2022 IPL champions under Hardik Pandya, endured a disappointing run in 2024, finishing eighth with just five wins in 14 matches. Now, under Gill’s leadership, they will look to bounce back and make a fresh start this season.
For Punjab Kings, Shreyas Iyer takes over the captaincy, hoping to guide the team to their long-awaited maiden IPL title.

Despite being part of the tournament for 18 seasons, Punjab is yet to lift the trophy. However, with Iyer—who previously led Kolkata Knight Riders to an IPL title and took Delhi Capitals to the final in 2020—they will be aiming for a turnaround.
