The head-to-head rivalry between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) is one of the closest ever in IPL history. The two teams have provided “nail-biters”, which frequently went down to the last over, since the two teams have been around, especially following Titans’ introduction in 2022. GT have the discipline that comes with the tactical maturity of a team that has won more than it has lost, the Kings have the instincts for explosive, risk-taking cricket – and so it shapes up as a battle.
Their first face-off in IPL 2026 is on March 31, 2026, at the Mullanpur Stadium, and the tussle is obviously set to intensify as we are heading towards IPL 2026 season. The all-time head-to-head record is dead even and so this match will not only open the season but will also be a battle for historical bragging rights.
GT vs PBKS Head to Head Record

Player Contributions in GT vs PBKS Fixtures
Shubman Gill (GT)
Titans captain is record against PBKS is unbelievable His 96 in 2022 remains his best against them, and at his average of over 50 in this fixture, he’s the biggest wicket PBKS bowlers would want to pick.
Shreyas Iyer (PBKS)
PBKS 2025 season captaincy debut by Shreyas Iyer was a masterclass His 97 off 42 balls at Ahmedabad is the highest score in this derby and set the tone for Punjab’s belligerent modern style.
Kagiso Rabada (PBKS)
Rabada has been the only bowler with some sort of regularity who can trouble the top-order of GT. His wicket-taking prowess in the powerplay has traditionally thrown GT’s plans off-kilter early in the match, and his IPL 2023 records certainly reflect how disruptive he’s been in this rivalry, having taken 9 wickets against them.
Rashid Khan (GT)
GT’s chief weapon Rashid nonetheless remains. His economy rate against PBKS still remains among the best in IPL, and his knack of picking up crucial middle over wickets has rescued the Titans on numerous occasions.
