Arshdeep Singh Shines as PBKS Defeat GT in IPL 2025 Thriller
Match 5 of the IPL 2025 season will be remembered as one with high-octane action at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, in which Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated Gujarat Titans (GT) by 11 runs. This match created a boundary of spectacular batting and crucial bowling and ended dramatically.
Punjab Kings’ Innings:
While going first to bat, PBKS smashed the biggest score of 243 for 5 runs in its allotted 20 overs. Under the leadership of Captain Shreyas Iyer, who himself scored 97 not out-the highest score in his inaugural IPL career-his innings was not one of just sheer aggression, but one with finesse that kept the anchoring weight on the entire PBKS batting effort. Young Priyansh Arya started the innings briskly with 47 runs and set the tone early. The hammering in the end was from Shashank Singh who smacked 44 not out off just 15 balls, including a barrage of boundaries in the final over from Mohammed Siraj.
Gujarat Titans’ Chase Response:
In an effort to chase down the improbable target of 244, GT received a boost by Sai Sudharsan’s innings of 74 from just 41 balls while Jos Buttler added a further entourage of 54 from 33 balls. Sherfane Rutherford came at a later stage, scoring another 46 off 28 balls, ensuring all-time close competitive action. Wishborne, GT was dismissed at 232 for 5 in the 20 overs of play.
Key Moments and Performances:
• Shreyas Iyer’s Captaincy and Batting: Leadership in the match by Iyer was the net victory for PBKS. The 97 unbeaten runs from him laid the foundation in addition to powering the middle overs.
• Shashank Singh’s Last Over Carnage: In the second-last over, Shashank Singh faced Mohammed Siraj and made an outstanding 23 runs from the over that raised the PBKS total to a daunting 243. 
• Bowling of Arshdeep Singh: Not only did batsmen rule the match, but also an expensive spell by Arshdeep Singh was very much appreciated. His key wickets in the death overs cut beyond the GT momentum to pump PBKS.
