Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be locking horns against each other in the fifth game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). The game is scheduled to be played on Tuesday (March 25) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
GT will be hoping that captain Shubman Gill delivers in his second season as a captain and guides them to a better finish. After winning the title in 2022 and finishing runners-up in 2023, GT had to part ways with their captain Hardik Pandya.
The allrounder decided to return to Mumbai Indians and GT announced Gill as their new captain. However, Gill could not live up to the expectations in his first season as a captain. With only five wins from 14 league games, GT finished at the eighth spot.
PBKS did not have a good season either as they finished at the ninth spot. For this season, they have appointed Shreyas Iyer as their captain and will be hoping that their fortunes finally change.
As GT and PBKS gear up for the game, we are taking a look at all the major predictions for the game.
