Gujarat Titans (GT) will be opening their campaign in IPL 2025 by taking on Punjab Kings (PBKS). The match is scheduled to take place on Tuesday (March 25) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Both teams failed to make the cut for the playoffs last season and will be eyeing a better campaign this year. PBKS finished at a disappointing ninth spot last season after managing to win only five games.
For this season, PBKS have completely overhauled their squad including appointing a new support staff, and will be hoping that their fortunes change. After roping in Ricky Ponting as their head coach, PBKS have also changed their captain and have appointed Shreyas Iyer to lead the team this season.
GT did not have the best of seasons either last year. After winning the title in 2022 and finishing runners-up in 2023, the Gujarat-based outfit could not even make it to the playoffs last season. Under Shubman Gill’s captaincy, they could only finish at the eighth spot and will be eying a better show this season.
As both the teams gear up for their season-opener, we are taking a look at their head-to-head record in IPL.
