In the IPL 2025 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans (GT) won the toss and opted to field first against the Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings (PBKS). The innings began explosively with Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, but the Titans struck early when Kagiso Rabada dismissed Prabhsimran for just 5 runs off 8 balls.
Shreyas Iyer then entered the fray, maintaining a brisk scoring rate alongside Priyansh, helping Punjab reach 73/1 by the end of the powerplay. However, Rashid Khan soon made an impact, removing Priyansh for 47 runs off 23 balls. R Sai Kishore followed up with a double blow, sending Glenn Maxwell back for a golden duck. Despite the setbacks, Iyer remained steadfast, leading the charge with Marcus Stoinis. The PBKS captain reached his half-century in just 27 balls, as Punjab aimed for a strong finish in the death overs.
