After an explosive start to the IPL 2025 with two matches, the upcoming match between the Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings is expected to deliver the same level of excitement.

For this season, the Gujarat Titans have acquired some big names and will be starting their campaign against the Punjab team on 25th March. This article will discuss their playing XI for the upcoming match.
After the departure of title-winning captain Hardik Pandya last season, Suman Gill was promoted to captain of the team. Following an average season, Gujarat expected to make a strong comeback with new star players like Jos Buttler, Mohammed Siraj, and Kagiso Rabada. The team will play a total of 14 group-stage matches, starting against PBKS in Ahmedabad.
