Tue Mar 25 18:24:21 UTC 2025: **Punjab Kings Defeat Gujarat Titans in Thrilling IPL Match**

**Ahmedabad, March 26, 2025** – The Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, secured an exciting 11-run victory over the Gujarat Titans in a high-scoring IPL match at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. Iyer’s unbeaten 97 off 42 balls spearheaded the Kings’ impressive total, while disciplined bowling performances from Arshdeep Singh and impact player Vyshak Vijaykumar sealed the win.

Iyer’s innings was a masterclass in aggressive batting, punctuated by numerous boundaries. His knock, coupled with a quickfire 44 from Shashank Singh, propelled the Kings to a challenging total despite a middle-order wobble. Priyansh Arya also contributed significantly, scoring 47 before falling just short of a half-century. The Kings plundered 87 runs in the final five overs.

The Titans, despite a strong start with a 61-run PowerPlay, found themselves chasing a formidable target. Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41) and Jos Buttler (54 off 33) provided resistance, forging an 84-run partnership. However, impactful bowling spells from Arshdeep and Vyshak, along with the dismissal of key players, prevented the Titans from overhauling the Kings’ total. Despite a late flurry from Sherfane Rutherford, the Titans fell short by 11 runs.

Sai Kishore was the pick of the bowlers for the Gujarat Titans, taking three wickets, while Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj had a less impactful outing. Shubman Gill’s decision to bowl first proved to be a strategic misstep. The victory marks an excellent start for Iyer as Punjab Kings captain.
