IPL 2026 Match 4 features a high-stakes clash at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium as Punjab Kings host Gujarat Titans. Following their heartbreaking 2025 final loss, Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab side is on a mission for redemption, while Shubman Gill’s Titans aim to prove their road-warrior reputation and secure a second title.
LIVE | Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans Match Scorecard: Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to bowl first against Gujarat Titans.
Two of the most followed sides of the Indian Premier League, Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings, are set to clash in a ‘stern’ contest in match No. 4 of the tournament on Tuesday, March 31, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in New Chandigarh.
The Punjab Kings have just one objective – to make it all the way this year. They reached the finals in the previous round but were just edged out of their first title by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who ended their trophy drought after 18 years. With the remarkable leadership of Shreyas Iyer, the Punjab franchise is surely eyeing the chance to claim the trophy in 2026.
Gujarat Titans, conversely, will approach the match as the away team, yet they are known for defeating rivals on their home ground. The team captained by Shubman Gill seemed poised to reach their third IPL final in the 2025 season, but had to exit in the Eliminator. Yet, a new season will provide them with a chance, which may also award them their second trophy.

Gujarat Titans need to finish the powerplay well. They are still under par as per the ongoing standards in T20 cricket. Even though they have lost a wicket, boundaries must come successively.
Marco Jansen is in the attack for the Punjab Kings. OUT!!! First wicket for Punjab Kings. Sai Sudharsan got a top edge as the ball flew into Shreyas Iyer’s hands. GT 37/1 (3.4)
Three boundaries from the bat of Shubman Gill in the over. The captain looks in great touch. Bartlett bowled two overpitched deliveries and paid the price but the shot on the last delivery was a class apart.
Steady start with a boundary as Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan collect nine runs in the first over of the innings. Arshdeep Singh bowled a good first over. Xavier Bartlett to bowl the second over.
Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(w), Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, M Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Ashok Sharma, Mohammed Siraj
