The team would be led by Shreyas Iyer, under whom KKR clinched the previous year's title. During the mega auctions, PBKS went under an overhaul and roped in key players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen, and Marcus Stoinis. PBKS would now be looking for a positive start against GT and kick off their IPL 2025 campaign with a win.

Meanwhile, Gujrat Titans (GT), led by Shubman Gill, will be looking forward to churning out of playing at their home ground against PBKS. GT, since its inception, has been an impressive team so far in the IPL. Starting off its journey in 2022, GT went on to win their maiden title on season debut. The team also ended as the runners-up of the IPL 2023. However, GT finished its 2024 IPL campaign in the 8th position.

This season, GT would be aiming for a comeback after building a solid squad at the mega-auctions. The team comprises Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, Sai Sudarshan, Masood Shahrukh Khan, Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, etc.
