Shreyas Iyer’s 97* Leads Punjab Kings to High-Scoring Victory Over Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 Thriller

Punjab Kings Start IPL 2025 With a Statement Win

In an explosive IPL 2025 encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 25, 2025, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) secured a thrilling 11-run victory over the Gujarat Titans (GT). Batting first, PBKS posted a mammoth 243/5, thanks to captain Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 97 off 42 balls and debutant Priyansh Arya’s brisk 47 off 23. Shashank Singh added a late flourish with 44 off just 16 balls.

GT’s Chase Falls Short Despite Sudharsan’s Heroics

Gujarat Titans mounted a spirited chase but ended at 232/5. Sai Sudharsan anchored the innings with a gritty 74, while Jos Buttler chipped in with 54. Shubman Gill added a quick 33, but Punjab's bowlers, led by Arshdeep Singh, held their nerve in the final overs.

Glenn Maxwell’s Unwanted Record

PBKS all-rounder Glenn Maxwell registered his 19th duck in IPL history, becoming the player with the most ducks in the league’s history. He was dismissed LBW on his first ball and controversially chose not to review the decision, which later replays showed would have been overturned.

Key Bowling Performances

GT's R Sai Kishore impressed with the ball, claiming the wicket of Marcus Stoinis and helping restrict PBKS in the death overs. However, Punjab's early batting dominance proved too much for Gujarat’s bowlers to recover from.

Conclusion

With over 470 runs scored between the two sides, the PBKS vs GT clash was a blockbuster IPL contest. While Punjab starts their campaign with a win, Gujarat will look to bounce back quickly in the coming fixtures. All eyes now turn to how both teams adjust their strategies going forward.
