In search of elusive IPL title, PBKS begin campaign against Gujarat

Perennial underachievers Punjab Kings aim to change fortunes under new skipper Shreyas Iyer
Still searching their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL), Punjab Kings, the perennial underachievers of the tournament will kickstart the 18th season under a new leadership combo of captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Ricky Ponting in an away encounter against 2022 champions Gujarat Giants at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
Iyer, fresh from guiding Kolkata Knight Riders to the title in 2024, besides guiding the Delhi Capitals to the 2020 season finale, will be expected to turn the fortunes of the PBKS, which ended the previous season at the penultimate 9th spot. In fact, Punjab have failed to break into the top five in the last four seasons. Punjab's best performance dates back to a decade, when they finished runners-up in 2014, before ending the 2018 season as the semifinalists. Cut to the 2025 season, the franchise is expecting the reunion of Iyer and Ponting to break the jinx.
