Match Details
| Match | Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans, IPL 2026, Match 4 |
| Date & Time | March 31, 2026 — 7:30 PM IST |
| Venue | Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur |
Pitch Report & Conditions (Fantasy Impact)
Avg first-innings score at Mullanpur is 165-170, with 180+ regularly posted. The pace bowlers get rewards in the powerplay on this bouncy surface. Dew is minimal tonight (dry Chandigarh air, ~50% humidity), meaning spinners remain effective in both innings — don’t leave Rashid Khan out.
Top-order batters from both sides carry the most fantasy value — GT’s Gill-Sudharsan-Buttler top three are all must-pick quality, and PBKS’s Iyer and Arya will be looking to dominate on home turf. Back the pace bowling all-rounders (Jansen, Holder) who contribute points at both ends.
PBKS vs GT Dream11 Captain & Vice-Captain Picks
- Captain Pick: Shubman Gill (GT) — 329 runs in 6 innings against PBKS at an avg of 65.8 and SR of 160.48. The most consistent fantasy scorer in this fixture’s history. If he fires, he’ll score big. High ceiling, moderate risk at opener.
- Vice-Captain Pick: Shreyas Iyer (PBKS) — 97 off 42 balls in the last PBKS vs GT meeting. Plays at number three at his home ground in Mullanpur, where he has exceptional familiarity. High scoring potential with captain’s value in bat + leadership multiplier on some platforms.
If you want a bowling captain option: Arshdeep Singh is the third choice — 11 wickets at Mullanpur in 7 matches, likely to bowl the powerplay and death overs. If he takes 2+ wickets, he matches any batting captain’s point total.
Top Fantasy Player Picks for PBKS vs GT
Batters
- Shubman Gill (GT): Top fantasy pick in this fixture — 329 runs at avg 65.8 in PBKS vs GT games. Must-pick regardless of whether he’s captain or VC.
- Sai Sudharsan (GT): 2025 Orange Cap winner with 759 runs. His 74 off 41 in the last PBKS-GT match showed he’s not just a supporting act. Pairs with Gill to create the most dangerous opening pair in IPL 2026.
- Jos Buttler (GT): Coming in at three — one genuinely explosive knock and he scores 60+ fantasy points. Hasn’t batted in IPL 2026 yet but arrives as one of the most dangerous T20 batters on the planet.
- Shreyas Iyer (PBKS): Home ground, knowledge of this attack, exceptional recent record in this fixture. Number three, likely sees a full 20 overs if PBKS bat first. Highest individual score in this rivalry at 97*.
All-Rounders
- Marco Jansen (PBKS): Bat + ball value at Mullanpur. Left-arm fast, hits the deck hard, bats at 8 and can clear the ropes. Two contributions in one player.
- Washington Sundar (GT): Off-spin + middle-order bat. On a surface with some grip, his 4 overs of off-spin are valuable. Bats at number four for GT and can score a quick 30-40. Excellent fantasy value at his likely ownership.
Bowlers
- Arshdeep Singh (PBKS): 11 Mullanpur wickets in 7 matches. This is his ground. Take him regardless of ownership — he will bowl at least 4 overs tonight with wicket-taking intent.
- Rashid Khan (GT): Economy + wickets in the middle overs. He’ll concede at under 7 and take at least one wicket. On a gripping Mullanpur surface, his ceiling is even higher. Don’t leave him out.
- Mohammed Siraj (GT): His IPL debut for GT — motivated performance guaranteed. New ball + death overs for GT. Has the skills to take 2-3 wickets against PBKS’s opening pair tonight.
Suggested Dream11 Team for PBKS vs GT
- Wicketkeeper: Jos Buttler (GT)
- Batters: Shubman Gill (GT), Sai Sudharsan (GT), Shreyas Iyer (PBKS)
- All-Rounders: Marco Jansen (PBKS), Washington Sundar (GT)
- Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh (PBKS), Rashid Khan (GT), Mohammed Siraj (GT), Yuzvendra Chahal (PBKS)
- Extra Batter (flex slot): Priyansh Arya (PBKS)
- Captain: Shubman Gill | Vice-Captain: Shreyas Iyer
Differential Picks (Low Ownership, High Upside)
- Shashank Singh (PBKS): The Mullanpur ground’s top PBKS scorer with 218 runs from 10 appearances here. At low ownership, his familiarity with this surface makes him a genuine differential if the match goes to a lower-order shoot-out.
- Rahul Tewatia (GT): Won the only previous PBKS vs GT match at Mullanpur with a cameo chase. At number 7, he’s low ownership but has proven he can win matches from nowhere. 1-in-5 shot at 50+ fantasy points.
Players to Avoid Today
- Glenn Phillips (GT): Bats at 5-6, likely faces limited balls on a bowling-friendly surface. High ownership might not match his projected fantasy return tonight.
- Nehal Wadhera (PBKS): Middle order batter who’ll bat at 6 — limited impact unless the match goes long. Better options available in the budget.
