After becoming the champions in their maiden season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2022 and becoming the runners-up of the tournament in 2023, Gujarat Titans didn’t do well in the previous season and finished at the eighth position with just five wins in 14 encounters.

In the case of the bowling department, Gujarat was average with the ball in the powerplay. The issue for them was not to have Mohammed Shami on the side, which meant they couldn’t have a premier wicket-taking bowling option. Hardik Pandya’s sudden departure made them struggling in the all-around department.

They leaked 685 runs in 12 innings in 432 balls at an average of 29.78. The Titans gave away 32 sixes in the first six overs of the IPL 2024. They will be eager to do well in this department during their opening GT vs PBKS clash of the IPL 2025.

Punjab Kings had the same fate with the bat in the powerplay overs of the last IPL. They had Kagiso Rabada in the side, but his form didn’t help the Sam Curran-led side at all.

Arshdeep Singh did well with the new swinging delivery, as they had the third-best economy rate of 9.05 in the powerplay overs of the last IPL. But the wickets’ tally was dried up, as they earned just 17 scalps in the first six overs, which was the second lowest of all the ten franchises.

Not many opponent sides could freely smash sixes against the Punjab Kings, who gave away just 26 over boundaries in the period. Their best bowling figures in the first six overs of the innings was 3/40.
