IPL 2026 Today's Match: GT vs PBKS playing 11, batters vs bowlers matchups

Shubman Gill-led GT will aim to secure their third straight win against PBKS, with hopes of finally breaching the top four of the points table

Match 46 of the Indian Premier League 2026 season promises to be a high-stakes clash as Gujarat Titans (GT) takes on Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium today. GT skipper Shubman Gill won the toss for the match and invited Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS to bat first.

IPL 2026 GT vs PBKS playing 11:  GT playing 11: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (C), Jos Buttler (WK), Nishant Sindhu, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Manav Suthar  Impact players: Rahul Tewatia, Glenn Phillips, Anuj Rawat, Kumar Kushagra, Kulwant Kejroliya  PBKS playing 11: Prabhsimran Singh (WK), Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (C), Suryansh Shedge, Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal  Impact players: Harpreet Brar, Vishnu Vinod, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Musheer Khan, Mitch Owen 

 

PBKS currently sit atop the points table with 13 points and are on the verge of sealing a playoff berth. Despite suffering their first loss in the previous game, they are unlikely to tinker with a settled combination. However, bowling inconsistency remains a concern, especially after conceding big totals.

 

GT, meanwhile, come into this contest on the back of consecutive wins and will be keen to strengthen their playoff push. Their top order has been in excellent form, while the bowling unit has delivered under pressure. The middle order, though, still needs stability.

 

 

Having lost the season opener to PBKS, Gujarat will look to settle scores, while Punjab aim to complete a double.

 

Now, before the two sides finally take the ground, let’s take a look at the captaincy record of both skippers, their expected playing 11 combinations, and key player match-ups for the game.
