Gujarat Titans are taking on Punjab Kings in the fifth match of IPL 2025. Punjab’s Priyansh Arya made his debut with a bang, scoring 47 runs off just 23 balls. He hit 2 sixes and 7 fours, but fell short of his half-century by just 3 runs.
Shreyas Iyer played a stunning knock, scoring 97 runs, but missed his century by 3 runs. He was well-supported by Shashank Singh, who played a crucial role in taking Punjab’s score to 243. This is the team’s highest score while batting first and the second-highest in IPL history.
The first wicket to fall for Punjab was Prabhsimran Singh, who was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada for 5 runs. Then, Azmatullah Omarzai and Glenn Maxwell were dismissed in quick succession by Sai Kishore.
