IPL 2026: GT vs PBKS, Match 46 - Top player battles to watch out for

2. Jos Buttler vs Yuzi Chahal

A fascinating battle of experience and skill, Buttler versus Chahal often tilts the momentum of a game. Buttler has scored 90 runs off 73 balls against the leg-spinner at a strike rate of 123.28, but Chahal has had his moments too, dismissing him three times in 10 innings. Chahal’s variations and ability to outfox aggressive batters make this an even contest, especially in the middle overs.

Buttler, after having a slow start, is finally finding his grove with the bat, and if he manages to negate Chahal well, GT might have an upper hand in this contest.
