Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings will lock horns with Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans in match four of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 at the PCA New Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. Both teams made it to the playoffs last season and look promising again this season.
Punjab reached the second final last season, their second in franchise history, and, according to Titans, after missing the play-off spot in 2024, they regained their top-four spot. Both sides will be hoping to start the campaigns with a winning start, while Jos Buttler’s form will be an area of concern for the Titans. Whether the youngsters deliver again for Punjab will be interesting to see.

The surface at Mullanpur has played differently on various occasions last season, but for the most part, it has been conducive for batting. At times, seamers have been able to get a lot out of the surface in the first innings when the curator has decided to leave a bit of grass on the pitch.
