Gujarat Titans once again took the hard route in pursuing a middling total but avoided a catastrophic middle-order slump by a whisker to claim a four-wicket win over Punjab Kings in IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Sunday.

The task of chasing 164 was tailor-made for B. Sai Sudharsan’s calibrated approach. He struck a half-century (57, 41b, 5×4, 1×6) and was the constant in neatly-compiled partnerships after the early fall of Shubman Gill.
