In the IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Gujarat Titans (GT) emerged victorious by four wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

After suffering a defeat, PBKS' captain Shreyas Iyer said, "I personally feel it was a great score on a wicket which was doing a bit. Their bowlers made the best use of the surface. We lost four wickets I assume in the powerplay. To get to 160 from there was a phenomenal effort. With the new ball I thought we would be able to hit our line and length and get wickets. But that didn't work out. We missed out on hitting the hard lengths. Hitting over midwicket or pull shot wasn't easy on this wicket because there was variable bounce. Wasn't an apt wicket to bat on. We're still on top of the table which is what matters. It's a great challenge going forward in the IPL because it tends to bring up the attitude of the bowlers as well. We wanted to win but it didn't click. Excited for the opportunity, want to get that two points. Have been working very hard in training. If the character is high and attitude is right, you'll get results eventually".
