The Indian Premier League 2026 will continue its riveting action as Punjab Kings (PBKS) will begin their campaign against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 4 of the tournament on Tuesday, March 31, at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, New Chandigarh.
Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, Punjab played fearless cricket in the last edition, which saw them storm their way into the final of the tournament. However, they missed out on their maiden title by seven runs, losing in the summit clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

Having had a near-perfect last season, Punjab will continue with the same intensity in the upcoming edition to have another crack at their maiden title victory. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans will begin their hunt for the first title under the leadership of Shubman Gill.
They made it to the playoffs last season but got knocked out in the Eliminator. Having made some valuable additions to their squad in the mini auction, Gujarat will aim to restore their old dominance this season and add a second title to their cabinet.
