GT vs PBKS LIVE Updates – Punjab Kings Cross 120 as Iyer, Stoinis rebuild after Kishore’s double blow

Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 5 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Shubman Gill’s GT won the toss and opted to field first against Shreyas Iyer’s PBKS, aiming for a turnaround after last year’s disappointing campaign.

Next up, Glenn Maxwell walked in but fell for a golden duck, attempting an ill-advised reverse sweep. Marcus Stoinis then played out the rest of the over. Just a single and two wickets—Kishore’s impact was immediate!
