Pitch Report

We are on pitch number 6 today. Boundaries are 64 meters towards square leg, 66 meters to its opposite side (right-hander), and 72 meters down the ground. The surface looks absolutely wonderful. When there's a good covering of grass, it's always a good indicator of good, consistent bounce. When you get that in this stadium, those boundaries can be anywhere in the world, you still should be able to clear them. Stats say it's a 185 first innings score, 200 has been reached 10 times out of the last 17 matches. Groundsman says dew is expected, you've got to chase. Even if you lose the toss, your batters need to giddy up, you take no prisoners - it is a batter's wicket. You have to make the most of it. Advantage is always chasing, but if you find youself outside the advantage, try and get ahead of the game, reports Matthew Hayden and Eoin Morgan.

Commentary

That's that, then. All five teams have played their opening games and a new week begins in the league starting tomorrow. That's that from this contest as I, Lavil and my colleague Rajarshi take your leave. We hope you enjoyed our coverage on Sportskeeda and join us tomorrow at 6:30 for the contest between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders. SEE YA!

Shreyas Iyer (Player of the Match and captain, Punjab Kings): Ecstatic, to be honest. Getting 97 in the opening game is like icing on the cake and an unparalleled feeling, to be honest. It was important to adapt as we went on, but as I got a boundary, I felt I was in good nick. We adapted quickly and played well. 44 runs he scored, which was very crucial for the team. We had set a bench mark of 200, and with the dew coming in, we knew the scenario could change, and the way he performed was excellent. (On Vyshak) He is a funny character; his approach is stupendous, and the way he executed his lines and length from ball 1 was amazing. Arshdeep played an important role; when he bowled, he said that the ball was reversing a bit. The saliva helps the bowlers, and he said that we should start executing wide yorkers rather than keeping it for the last two overs. Before the season started, we left no stone unturned, and everyone chipped in with the contributions. Everyone participate,s and it is just the first game, and hopefully we perform the same going forward.

11:34 pm local time and IST: Time now for the Post Match Presentation Ceremony

Arshdeep Singh, Punjab Kings: The thought was simple and clear, we'll make them hit towards the off side. Let them hit those good shots, if they do, clap and say well done. Really happy for him (Vyshak), he's putting in the hard yards in practice and was executing the yorkers really well. The result showed up in the game as well. The plan was if you're going to get hit, miss on the wider side. Won't be easy for batsmen to hit. It would slip a bit because of the dew, plan was to bowl as wide as possible. Credit goes to all the batters who went in and smashed the ball from ball one, that's how it's been going in this format these days. There's no par score to try and defend.

Shubman Gill, Gujarat Titans captain: We got our chances when we were bowling and batting. Conceded too many runs at the back end, we let ourselves down with the fielding. Too many misfields and dropped catches. Matter of chases in such games. Those three overs in the middle we scored around 18 runs. We didn't score as many in the first three overs. That cost us the game. Many positives for us today, good start to the tournament, I'd say. (On Vyshak) Not easy coming in as an impact player and delivering those yorkers. Credit to them for delivering those yorkers. Always a good wicket to bat on here. Challenge is going to be restricting the opposition for those runs.

11:20 pm local time and IST: Punjab Kings win by 11 runs

Gujarat Titans: 232/5 (20 overs)
Sai Sudharsan: 74(41b) | Arshdeep Singh: 2/36 (4 overs)
Jos Buttler: 54(43b) | Glenn Maxwell: 1/26 (2 overs)

Punjab Kings start their campaign on a winning note. A new skipper and a new season sees them kick off their campaign positively. Kudos to the Gujarat Titans; they looked to match the scoring rate but couldn't quite close the game out.

Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan opened the batting, and the duo was a bit slow to get off the blocks. GT accelerated in the latter half of the powerplay but lost Shubman Gill. Later, Sudharsan and Jos Buttler did a fine job of batting through the middle overs and also bumped up the scoring rate.

However, once Sai Sudharsan was dismissed, scoring runs just got a bit tougher. Sherfane Rutherford came in as an impact player and made an impact, but then his brilliance as an impact sub was overshadowed by Vyshak Vijaykumar. The pacer mixed up his lines really well and made life tough for the batters to send the ball to the fence. In the end, Arshdeep bowled an excellent final over and closed the game out as GT was restricted to 232.

Much like GT's bowlers, PBKS also saw the ball travel to all corners of the park, but an individual moment of brilliance saw them seal the game. Arshdeep Singh picked up two wickets, while Glenn Maxwell and Marco Jansen chipped in with a wicket each. Later in the game, Vyshak Vijaykumar conceded only 28 runs in the three overs he bowled and nailed the execution of his bowling plans.

19.6 Arshdeep Singh to Shahrukh Khan, SIX TO FINISH, DOESN'T MATTER! The Punjab Kings begin their 2025 IPL campaign on a winning note, triumphing over the Gujarat Titans by 11 runs at their den! Arshdeep just about missed the wide yorker this time, offering a half-volley to Shahrukh, who got under the ball and muscled it high and wide over extra cover

19.5 Arshdeep Singh to Mohd Arshad Khan, yorker, outside the line of off. Squeezed to the right of the keeper off the inside edge. The batters get a single

Sherfane Rutherford has been dismissed for 46 runs off 28 balls

19.4 Arshdeep Singh to Sherfane Rutherford, KNOCKS HIM OVER! That'll be good enough for the Punjab Kings, you'd think! Arshdeep goes full and wide again, close to a yorker length. Rutherford has a blind hack across the line as you'd expect him to. Gets a thick inside edge, and the ball crashes into the set of sticks behind him

19.3 Arshdeep Singh to Sherfane Rutherford, nails the wide yorker this time, does Arshdeep. Rutherford drills it towards long off, the batters were set on completing a second run, and they get it. Throw's bad

19.2 Arshdeep Singh to Sherfane Rutherford, GAME'S NOT OVER YET! Arshdeep ends up landing this in the slot trying the wide yorker. Rutherford gets right under it, hoicks it over cover and clears the boundary
