GT are eyeing their second title and first since winning it in 2022 in what was their first-ever season. After doing well in their first two seasons under Hardik Pandya's captaincy, GT had to appoint Shubman Gill as their captain after the former left the franchise.
On the other hand, PBKS will be starting a new journey under a new captain this season. After failing to win the title for the past 17 seasons, the Punjab-based outfit has now signed up highly-rated Shreyas Iyer who led Kolkata Knight Riders to the title last year.
So, with GT and PBKS all set for their first game of the season, we are taking a look at the weather and pitch report.
