Gujarat Titans (GT) and skipper Shubman Gill know that this is a huge season for them. The Titans are going through a period of transitions not just on the field but also off the field. The addition of Jos Buttler to the squad will help the Titans sort out their opening slot which was a huge issue last year. The likes of Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada have already shared the dressing room together in the SA20 league and will want to carry their form into the new season of IPL. 

Punjab Kings (PBKS) were one of the highest spenders during the 2025 IPL Auction that took place in Jeddah last November. Their biggest investment was Shreyas Iyer who was picked for INR 26.75 Crores and also named the new skipper. Iyer has already led his former side Kolkata Knight Riders to a title win last season. The likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell will add more steel to the side that seeks its first IPL title win.

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report

Ahmedabad has always been known as a great ground where there is good value for shots played by the batters. The team winning the toss will look to bowl first considering that chasing is the much-preferred option at this venue. In the last five games, three matches have seen teams batting second win the contest. The likes of Rashid Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal will get a good purchase off the wicket once the pitch slows down. The average score batting at this venue is 167 but in the last few games teams have been able to breach the 200-run mark with ease.
