GT, on the other hand, depend on their top-order to make a bulk of the runs while their bowling lineup consisting of the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Rashid Khan do the rest.

GT vs PBKS IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score: Captains' corner

Iyer: It looks beautiful, some grass on the wicket and some bounce considering it is black soil. We have played on this before. Xavier comes in and Vyshak comes in in the bowling side, it is not frustration, it is an intense league, we have to travel and come up fresh in every game. It is just another game and we will put our best foot forward.

Gill: We are gonna bowl first. We have been chasing well in the past few games and our bowling is doing well, so will continue that momentum. We spoke about our middle order finishing the game and the way Rahul bhai did was amazing. There is something in it initially for the bowlers. It is all about peaking at the right time, we are doing that and I still our best game is yet to come. One change - Sandhu makes his debut.

GT vs PBKS Live Score: The problem with Prabhsimran

Prabhsimran Singh’s batting isn’t likely to win many points for elegance. Not that it would bother him.

The role assigned to him, and his opening partner Priyansh Arya, by the Punjab Kings team management is that of a battering ram, kamikaze-style operation, in which their survival is hardly a concern.

On Tuesday against Rajasthan Royals, the left-handed Arya was repeatedly found out by pace, with both full length and short deliveries, before he inevitably perished. Throughout his torrid stay – though his team would argue that an 11-ball 29 served the purpose – as he evaded the fielders and benefited from a dropped chance, he refused to acknowledge that an alternate approach was possible. It points to the apparent lack of nuance and subtlety in T20 batting, especially at the start of an innings. (READ MORE)

GT vs PBKS IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score: Iyer after first loss of the season

Punjab Kings tasted their first defeat of the season, in much the same way as it had meted out defeats to their opponents. The master-chasers were out-chased, when defending 224. Captain Shreays Iyer took the defeat stoically and said during the presentation: “Tonight just was not our day, one of those days where it did not go our way.”

He praised the batters for the application they showed on a surface he termed “tacky”, where the odd one ball kept low and slow. “I think 224 was a brilliant score – kudos to the batters. It was an exceptional performance on this pitch, which was tacky and slow. We fell short in our execution (with the ball). If you have a certain plan set, when you execute it well, you triumph. We had planned to bowl a lot of slower ones, pace off, yorkers. I think we fell a bit short over there.”

IPL 2026, GT vs PBKS Live Score Updates: The Jason Holder catch controversy

Controversy struck on Thursday evening at the Narendra Modi Stadium during the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) match between hosts Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. RCB talisman Virat Kohli could be seen having some animated conversations with the fourth umpire in the minutes after a rather sensational catch by GT all-rounder Jason Holder resulted in Royal Challengers’ captain Rajat Patidar being dismissed on 19 off 15 balls.

The incident happened in the eighth over of the RCB innings. Arshad Khan’s fourth ball of the over was dug into the track on middle and leg stump, Patidar tried to meet it with a pull shot but the ball flew up off a top edge of his bat. Holder was stationed at deep square leg, he sprinted to his right while fast bowler Kagiso Rabada was also running to the same spot from short fine leg. Holder dove to his right and took the ball. The former West Indies captain then came down in a way that the ball in his hand touched the ground momentarily. The umpires deemed it a fair catch.

IPL 2026, GT vs PBKS Live Cricket Score: Why Gujarat went for Holder

Gujarat Titans (GT) Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki said the franchise specifically targeted Jason Holder at the auction for his all-round value, while also praising the team’s resilience after a nervy four-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Ahmedabad.

Holder produced a Player of the Match performance in GT’s win, taking 2/29 in four overs, claiming three catches and scoring 12 useful runs in the chase.

“I think when we were pursuing Jason at the auction, it was with the mind to him being able to fulfil both roles — the bat and the ball. So he does offer us exactly that,” Solanki said after the match.

The former West Indies captain has added balance to GT’s playing XI, giving them another seam option while strengthening the lower middle order. “His numbers, if you take a look over the last sort of calendar year and perhaps a little bit longer than that, his numbers at five and six have been quite outstanding,” Solanki said.

GT vs PBKS IPL 2026 Live Score: Ashwin on Gill's batting

“How many captains have this ability? How many captains have the confidence to give their bowler another over after he has conceded five fours in the first over? Maybe he discussed with the keeper and executed the plans. Sometimes, you run behind plans, but the batter is good enough to get over it. He read the game well and continued with Rabada and Siraj for six overs. They got Virat Kohli’s wicket there, and the game changed from that moment,” said Ashwin on his YouTube channel.

“I know that he did not score big runs, but he showed intent against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has probably been the bowler of the tournament so far. He made room and hit Josh Hazlewood on the off side, then came inside and went leg side. Purely for the tactical brilliance, it was a masterclass. There was a four off an inside edge against Bhuvneshwar, but apart from that, he looked absolutely in pristine touch,” said Ashwin.

May 3, 2026 04:35 PM IST
GT vs PBKS Live Score: Likely changes for both teams

It’ll be interesting to see if Gujarat will bring back Prasidh Krishna in their bowling lineup after the pacer having been given a break over the last couple of matches. In case he comes back, Manav Suthar might have to make way. GT are unlikely to tweak their batting order although their middle and lower order have been a cause of concern.

Meanwhile, Suryansh Shedge is likely to be drafted in the Punjab Kings team due to a forced change because of Shashank Singh’s injury. They are not likely to change anything else in their batting lineup.
