Key Players to Watch in PBKS vs GT IPL 2026
- Shreyas Iyer (PBKS): Captaining PBKS for a second straight season after leading them to the 2025 final. Smashed 97 off 42 balls against GT last season — this ground is familiar territory and he knows exactly how to hurt this attack.
- Priyansh Arya (PBKS): One of the most exciting young openers in IPL. The left-hander brings an aggressive approach at the top with a T20 strike rate well above 160. Could demolish GT’s pace attack if he gets going in the powerplay.
- Arshdeep Singh (PBKS): Leads the Mullanpur bowling charts with 11 wickets in 7 matches at this ground. Extra bounce suits his left-arm angle perfectly. GT’s top order will have to be at their watchful best against him early.
- Shubman Gill (GT): The most consistent batter in this fixture — 329 runs in 6 innings at an average of 65.8 and strike rate of 160.48. India’s Test and ODI captain turns it on in T20s when it matters most.
- Rashid Khan (GT): The Afghan leg-spinner remains one of the most difficult bowlers in T20 cricket. At a ground where spinners can get some grip in the middle overs, Rashid’s combinations and googlies will test every PBKS middle-order batter.
