IPL 2026 today match: GT vs
The 46th match of the Indian Premier League 2026 season promises to be a high-stakes clash as Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium today. GT captain Shubman Gill won the toss in the match and invited Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS to bat first.
PBKS currently tops the points table with 13 points and is on the verge of sealing a place in the playoffs. Despite suffering their first defeat in the last game, they are unlikely to tamper with their settled combination. However, inconsistency in bowling remains a matter of concern, especially after giving up big scores.
Meanwhile, GT comes into this competition on the back of back-to-back wins and will be keen to consolidate their playoff berth. Their top order has been in excellent form, while the bowling unit has performed well under pressure. However, the middle order still needs stability.
After losing the first match of the season to PBKS, Gujarat will look to level the score, while Punjab will aim to complete the double.
Now, before both the teams finally take the field, let’s take a look at the captaincy records of both the captains, their expected playing 11 combination and the match-up of key players for the game.
