Match No. 4 of the IPL 2026 will see two formidable and stable outfits go toe-to-toe on Tuesday evening in Mullanpur or New Chandigarh, with both teams set to open their campaigns this year.
The Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab had topped the league stage last year but lost by only six runs in the final against RCB in Ahmedabad.
The Shubman Gill-captained Gujarat finished third in the points table in IPL 2025 before losing the Eliminator to the Mumbai Indians.
As the teams kick off a new season, both captains also have plenty to gain on an individual basis. Though their reputation precedes them, Gill and Iyer have their T20 batting mettle to prove once again after both found themselves out of India’s 15-man T20 World Cup squad.

PBKS vs GT Pitch report:
The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, has two types of surfaces: pace-friendly and batting-friendly. Today’s match, GT vs PBKS, will reportedly be played on pitch No. 4, which is the surface on which last year PBKS and CSK clashed in a high-scoring encounter wherein 420 runs were amassed by the two teams.
Punjab coach Ricky Ponting has predicted a game full of runs.
PBKS vs GT Playing 11: Toss Report
PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bowl first against GT, expressing his personal opinion about having clarity in a run chase in the shortest format.
Iyer confirmed the four overseas players in Punjab’s line-up: Cooper Connolly, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, and Marcus Stoinis.
Gill, the GT skipper, revealed Gujarat’s four overseas players: Jos Buttler, Glenn Phillips, Kagiso Rabada, and Rashid Khan.
Gujarat made the tough choice of leaving out West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder, who has been in terrific form in T20 cricket over the past year with both bat and ball, in favor of Phillips, who is also an in-form all-rounder.
