Punjab Kings Playing 11 vs Gujarat Titans- IPL 2025, Match 5:
The right-handed batsman has played 34 IPL games so far, scoring 756 runs with the help of a century and three fifties. On the other hand, Arya is yet to play in the IPL but is highly-rated for his explosive batting. After his exploits in the Delhi Premier League, Punjab Kings secured his services for INR 3.8 crore.
Middle-order batsmen and allrounders: Shreyas Iyer (C), Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis
Captain Shreyas Iyer will be one of the most important batsmen in the Punjab Kings lineup. With form on his side, Iyer will be keen to lead from the front and further enhance his reputation as a captain. After guiding Kolkata Knight Riders to the trophy last year, Iyer will be eyeing a similar impact with the Punjab-based outfit too.
Glenn Maxwell is back with PBKS and he will be looking to make his comeback a memorable one. More than a decade ago, it was his prowess with the bat that helped PBKS qualify for their first-ever final. It was also the season that truly announced Maxwell's arrival in the IPL. The Australia star would be eyeing a similar impact this season too.
Apart from Maxwell, his compatriot Marcus Stoinis is set to be another allrounder in the PBKS Playing 11. Stoinis has also played for PBKS in the past and will look to live up to the expectations. So far, he has played 96 IPL matches and has scored 1866 with the help of a century and nine fifties. He has also taken 43 wickets.
Bowlers: Marco Jansen, Harpreet Brar Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
On the other hand, Yuzvendra Chahal and Harpreet Brar are expected to be the two spinners in the team. Maxwell is also a good spin bowling option for the Punjab-based outfit.
