The PBKS vs GT head-to-head record is perfectly locked at 3–3 across 6 IPL matches. It’s one of the newest rivalries in the tournament, yet every single game has delivered drama. Not a single encounter between these two teams has been forgettable. From an 8-wicket blowout to a 475-run run-fest, this fixture compresses an entire season’s worth of entertainment into just six matches.
What gives this rivalry extra edge is the contrasting journeys. Gujarat Titans won the IPL title in their debut season (2022). Punjab Kings, despite being in the league since 2008, are still chasing their maiden trophy after heartbreak in the 2014 and 2025 finals.
Both teams reached the playoffs in IPL 2025, with PBKS finishing as runners-up and GT losing in the Eliminator. All data below is updated through IPL 2025, with IPL 2026 starting March 28, 2026.
PBKS vs GT Head-to-Head: Summary

Venue-Wise Breakdown
Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad: Here’s the fun twist. GT have never beaten PBKS at their own home ground. In two matches at Ahmedabad, PBKS have won both. The most recent was the 475-run blockbuster in IPL 2025, where Shreyas Iyer’s 97* led PBKS to 243/5, and GT fell 11 runs short despite posting 232. For a team that won the IPL title in their first year, GT’s inability to beat PBKS at home is a genuine head-scratcher.
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium, Mullanpur: On the flip side, PBKS have never beaten GT at their new home ground. GT won the only match played here, a 3-wicket victory in IPL 2024 where R Sai Kishore’s 4/33 restricted PBKS to just 142 and Rahul Tewatia finished the chase with a quickfire cameo.
Neutral Venues (Pune, Mumbai): The teams have split results 1-1 at neutral grounds, each side winning once during the IPL 2022 season.

Recent Form: Every Match a Nail-Biter
Here’s what makes this rivalry special: 5 of the 6 matches have been decided by margins of 11 runs or fewer, or by 3 wickets or fewer. This is the IPL’s tightest new-age fixture by a considerable margin. The only exception was the 8-wicket PBKS win in their very first meeting in May 2022.
The IPL 2025 match at Ahmedabad on March 25 was the headline event. It produced 475 combined runs and 32 sixes, the highest match aggregate and the most sixes in this fixture’s history.
Shreyas Iyer smashed 97 off just 42 balls*, supported by Shashank Singh (44* off 16), as PBKS posted 243/5, their highest-ever IPL total. GT’s chase was breathtaking. Shubman Gill (96), Sai Sudharsan (54), and Sherfane Rutherford (46 off 28) kept the Titans in the hunt, but PBKS held their nerve to win by 11 runs. Vyshak Vijaykumar’s impact-player spell broke GT’s momentum at the exact right time.
In IPL 2024, the results split evenly. PBKS won at Ahmedabad by 3 wickets in a thrilling chase of 200, with Shashank Singh (46*) and Ashutosh Sharma (31*) combining in an unbeaten partnership to pull off the win with just one ball remaining. GT took revenge at Mullanpur, where Sai Kishore’s devastating 4/33 dismantled PBKS for 142, and Rahul Tewatia (36* off 18) guided the chase.
PBKS have won 3 of the last 4 completed matches in this rivalry, turning what was initially a GT-dominated fixture into a perfectly balanced contest.
Both teams went on to have outstanding IPL 2025 campaigns after this Ahmedabad thriller. Sai Sudharsan won the Orange Cap with 759 runs, while Prasidh Krishna claimed the Purple Cap with 25 wickets. GT finished 3rd in the league stage but lost the Eliminator to MI by 20 runs. PBKS finished 1st in the league stage behind Shreyas Iyer’s 604 runs (SR: 175) and reached their first IPL Final since 2014, losing to RCB by 6 runs at Ahmedabad.
Highest Team Score in PBKS vs GT Matches
The 2025 Ahmedabad encounter rewrote the record books for both teams simultaneously.
| Team | Highest Score | Year / Venue |
|---|---|---|
| PBKS | 243/5 | 2025 / Ahmedabad (NMS) |
| GT | 232/5 | 2025 / Ahmedabad (same match) |
PBKS’s 243/5 was their highest-ever IPL total at the time. Not just against GT, but against anyone. Iyer’s 97* was the centrepiece, an innings loaded with intent, power, and cricket intelligence. He struck Rashid Khan for multiple sixes, which for any batter in T20 cricket is a bold statement.
GT’s 232/5 in the same match would have been enough to win virtually any other IPL game. Shubman Gill (96) came agonisingly close to a century before falling with 4 runs to win. The combined 475 runs and 32 sixes in that single match set new records for this fixture.
That single afternoon in Ahmedabad proved this rivalry is built for entertainment.
Lowest Team Score in PBKS vs GT Matches
If the 2025 Ahmedabad match was the batting peak, the 2024 Mullanpur encounter was the bowling masterclass.
| Team | Lowest Score | Context |
|---|---|---|
| PBKS | 142 | 2024 / Mullanpur (Sai Kishore 4/33) |
| GT | 143/8 | 2022 / Neutral venue (PBKS won by 8 wickets) |
PBKS’s 142 all out was the result of R Sai Kishore’s brilliant spell. His left-arm spin combined with Noor Ahmad’s 2/20 and Rashid Khan’s miserly 1/15 choked PBKS on their own home ground. None of their batters managed to cross 35, and the innings simply never gained momentum.
GT’s 143/8 came in the very first meeting between these teams in IPL 2022. PBKS chased it down in just 16 overs, losing only 2 wickets, making it the most one-sided result in this fixture. That early loss didn’t stop GT from going on to win the 2022 IPL title, though, so they had the last laugh that season.
Most Runs in PBKS vs GT Matches
Shubman Gill dominates the run charts in this rivalry. His consistency against PBKS across all four seasons has been remarkable.
| Rank | Player | Team | Runs | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shubman Gill | GT | ~329 | HS: 96 (2025), 3 fifties vs PBKS |
| 2 | Sai Sudharsan | GT | ~180 | Reliable top-order contributor |
| 3 | Shreyas Iyer | PBKS | 97* | One match, one near-century (2025) |
| 4 | Shashank Singh | PBKS | ~140 | Clutch finisher, key in 2024 and 2025 |
Gill’s ~329 runs in 6 innings against PBKS gives him an average above 55 in this fixture. His 96 in the 2025 Ahmedabad run-fest almost pulled off an impossible chase of 244. In IPL 2025 overall, Gill amassed 650 runs and formed a devastating opening partnership with Sai Sudharsan that produced 912 partnership runs, the third-highest by any pair in a single IPL season.
Sai Sudharsan’s ~180 runs against PBKS are part of a broader story. He won the IPL 2025 Orange Cap with 759 runs, making him the most dangerous batter in T20 cricket right now. His 74 off 41 in the 2025 Ahmedabad match was a masterclass in timing and placement.
Shreyas Iyer played his first PBKS vs GT match in 2025 and made it count with a sensational 97 off 42 balls*. That single innings immediately made him the most impactful batter in this fixture’s short history. He struck 9 sixes, including multiple maximums off Rashid Khan. Iyer finished IPL 2025 with 604 runs at a strike rate of 175, leading PBKS to the Final.
Shashank Singh has been PBKS’s quiet hero. His finishing abilities in the 2024 Ahmedabad game (46* off 26, chasing 200) and his 44* off 16 in the 2025 run-fest have made him one of the most reliable finishers in this matchup.
Most Wickets in PBKS vs GT Matches
R Sai Kishore has been the standout bowler in this young rivalry. His left-arm spin has consistently troubled PBKS’s aggressive batting lineup.
| Rank | Player | Team | Wickets | Key Trait / Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kagiso Rabada | GT (formerly PBKS) | 9 | All-time leader in this fixture; played for PBKS before joining GT in 2026. |
| 2 | R Sai Kishore | GT | 7 | Standout performer; took 4/33 in 2024 and 3/30 in 2025 vs PBKS. |
| 3 | Rashid Khan | GT | 7 | Consistent middle-overs enforcer; has taken a wicket in almost every meeting. |
| 4 | Arshdeep Singh | PBKS | 4 | Left-arm pace; lead bowler for PBKS, consistently economical against GT. |
| 5 | Harshal Patel | PBKS | 5 | Slower-ball specialist; high impact in the 2024 and 2025 meetings. |
In this burgeoning IPL rivalry, Kagiso Rabada stands at the summit with nine wickets, a record built across his impactful stints for both franchises. Close behind is the Gujarat Titans’ spin duo of Rashid Khan and R Sai Kishore, who have both claimed seven victims. While Rashid remains the ever-present threat who strikes with surgical precision in almost every encounter, Sai Kishore has emerged as a high-impact specialist, famously dismantling the Punjab middle order in rapid bursts over the last two seasons.
The bowling narrative is further bolstered by the presence of Prasidh Krishna at Gujarat; though his specific tally against the Kings is still growing, his pedigree as the 2025 Purple Cap winner makes him a daunting prospect in the opening overs. On the flip side, Punjab’s resistance is anchored by the left-arm pace of Arshdeep Singh and the craftiness of Harshal Patel. Their battle against a stubborn Titans top order remains the defining contest of this matchup, as they consistently look to find a chink in the armor of a lineup that has historically proven difficult to dislodge early.
Best Bowling Figures in PBKS vs GT Matches
One spell stands clearly above the rest in this young rivalry.
| Player | Team | Figures | Year | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R Sai Kishore | GT | 4/33 | IPL 2024 | Mullanpur |
| Harshal Patel | PBKS | 3/15 | IPL 2024 | Mullanpur (same match) |
| Noor Ahmad | GT | 2/20 | IPL 2024 | Mullanpur |
Sai Kishore’s 4/33 at Mullanpur in April 2024 is the best bowling performance in this rivalry. His left-arm spin dismantled PBKS for just 142 on their own home ground. Four wickets in four overs, with an economy of just over 8 on a surface where scoring is usually easy. It was a masterclass in reading conditions and executing plans.
Harshal Patel’s 3/15 in the same match deserves recognition. Despite the losing cause, his bowling kept GT honest and almost tilted the game PBKS’s way.
No bowler has taken a five-wicket haul in this fixture yet. Given the rivalry is only six games old, that record is waiting to be broken.
IPL Playoffs: The Next Chapter Awaits
PBKS and GT have never met in a playoff match. However, both teams reached the knockouts in IPL 2025, making a playoff meeting increasingly likely in future seasons.
GT’s IPL journey has been extraordinary. Champions in 2022, runners-up in 2023, and Eliminator exit in 2025 (lost to MI by 20 runs), they’ve reached the knockouts in 3 out of 4 seasons. Only the disappointing 2024 campaign (8th place) blotted their record. Sai Sudharsan (Orange Cap, 759 runs) and Prasidh Krishna (Purple Cap, 25 wickets) were the standout performers in their 2025 playoff push.
PBKS had their best-ever IPL season in 2025, finishing 1st in the league stage and reaching the IPL Final for the first time since 2014. Their opening pair of Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya scored 532 partnership runs, the most by an uncapped opening pair in IPL history. They lost to RCB by 6 runs in the final at Ahmedabad, but their transformation under Shreyas Iyer was the story of the tournament.
Given both teams’ upward trajectory, a PBKS vs GT playoff clash feels like a matter of when, not if.
