In part one of our IPL preview series for the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League, the boys cover Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans.

Mumbai Indians were dreadful last season, but have had a big revamp and look like they have fixed some of the huge holes in their line up. If Jasprit Bumrah can return to fitness quickly they area a team to watch.

Punjab Kings have hired Ricky Ponting to help turn their fortunes around. Their new look team, captained by Shreyas Iyer, should be less gaff prone than before. Can they make their first IPL play-offs in forever?

Gujarat Titans are also coming off a down year. Will the addition of Jos Buttler help them reset, as Shubman Gill has another go at leading the team.
