Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings will begin their Indian Premier League season 18 campaign when they face off in match 5 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday (March 25).
Shubman Gill will lead the Gujarat Titans for the second successive season as the franchise aim for better finish compared to last year, while Punjab Kings will aim for the elusive title as they start an era under new head coach Ricky Ponting and captain Shreyas Iyer.
