In a last-over thriller at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans continued their habitual turnaround by defeating Punjab Kings, who were on the top of the IPL 2026 points table. With a ball to spare, the target being 164, GT were able to secure the win by 4 wickets, and this was their third win in a row.

The knocks of Sai Sudharsan played a very crucial role, as Washington Sundar was not out in the end. The win not only propelled GT further up the ladder, but it also opened the playoff race since PBKS suffered a rare defeat despite a strong run so far.

Through this outcome, GT had received important momentum as the business part of the league stage approaches. The men of Shubman Gill now have good shoulders to stand on steadfastly and give them added confidence in the rest of the games. PBKS will seek to recover within a short time to ensure that they are back to their top positions.
