GT vs PBKS, IPL 2025: The 5th match of the 18th season of IPL will be played between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad on Tuesday (March 25). In this match to be played at Narendra Modi Stadium, both the teams will face each other at 7:30 pm Indian time. The Gujarat Titans team will be led by Shubman Gill, while the Punjab Kings team will be led by Shreyas Iyer. Gujarat are the winners of the 2022 season, but the Punjab franchise has never won the IPL title.

Punjab had made Shreyas Iyer the captain of the team under whose leadership Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the title last season. This time Shreyas will have the challenge of making Punjab the winner. Shreyas is counted among the successful captains in IPL. Before leading KKR to the title, he led Delhi Capitals to the finals in the 2020 season, but the team could not become the winner at that time. Now his goal will be to end Punjab's 18-year-long wait to win the IPL title.

Punjab is one of those franchises that have not been able to win the trophy even after coming close. Punjab reached the semi-finals of IPL 2018, while it made it to the finals in 2014. At that time, KKR defeated it in the final, but in the last four years, the Punjab team has not been able to make it to the top five. Despite becoming Punjab Kings from Kings XI Punjab, this team is still waiting for its first IPL title.

On the other hand, Indian ODI team vice-captain Shubman Gill did not have a good last season as Gujarat captain and the team finished eighth in the points table. Gujarat won the title in 2022 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya and was runner-up in 2023. But last year Gujarat changed its captain and handed over the responsibility to Gill.
