GitVersion for PR branch on Azure DevOps not working as expected

[onlyutkarsh]

Not entirely sure that it is a gitversion issue but it used to work for us before. Our gitversion.yml is as below

next-version: 1.0
assembly-informational-format: '{MajorMinorPatch}'
mode: ContinuousDeployment
branches:
  master:
    tag: ''
  release:
    tag: rc
  feature:
    tag: alpha
    increment: Patch
  pull-request:
    tag: pr
  hotfix:
    tag: rc
  support:
    tag: s
  develop:
    tag: beta

We now use GitVersion task in Azure DevOps pipelines and I see that pull requests are being tagged as PullRequest instead of what is defined in gitversion.yml file pr

I see following in the logs, any idea what is causing this?
