IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans’ strongest predicted XI against Punjab Kings

Gujarat Titans (GT) will be against the might of Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 46 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 03. 

They come off the back of a four-wicket victory against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home. A brilliant bowling performance saw them bowl RCB out for 155, which they chased down despite a consistent loss of wickets. They sit in fifth place on the table, with ten points from nine matches, and will be hoping to make a late push to the playoffs.

Here is GT’s predicted XI against PBKS in Match 46, IPL 2026:

Top order: Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), 

The Gujarat Titans’ top three have much of the heavy lifting for them with the bat. The trio of skipper Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have all scored more than 300 runs this season. Shubman Gill scored an 18-ball 43, which set the platform for the Titans’ chase of 156 against RCB. With 373 runs, he is the Titans' leading run scorer this season. Sai Sudharasn had a failure against RCB in Ahmedabad but scored a stunning century in Bengaluru, followed by a brilliant 87 at the Chepauk.

Jos Buttler has scored over 300 runs this season after a poor showing in the T20 World Cup. Batting at number 3 has diminished his role, but he has been at his best when he has come into bat, striking at 156.85 in the season.
