The PBKS vs GT match of the IPL 2026 will be played at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium on Tuesday.

The next stop in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is Mullanpur in New Chandigarh, where last season’s finalist Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take on the 2022 champion Gujarat Titans (GT).

Already we have seen a couple of 200+ chases, and we might see another high-scoring thriller. PBKS and GT have strong batting units, and the wicket in Mullanpur is brilliant to bat on. Both teams have several stars who can change the game on their own.

There are plenty of options to choose from while forming a Dream11 team for this game. Picking the right captain or vice-captain can be ideal to do well on fantasy platforms. Hence, we’ve suggested five players who could be a great choice to be picked as captain of Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top five Dream11 fantasy picks for PBKS vs GT match of IPL 2026

1. Sai Sudharsan

A batting average of 49.80 and a strike rate of 145.89 speak volumes about a player’s quality. Sai Sudharsan has incredible numbers in the IPL, and he won the Orange Cap in 2025. The left-hander has been the run machine for GT in the IPL.

He is a consistent performer, and being an opener gets him more chances to bat. With his stature in the IPL, he can be a good pick as captain.

2. Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill has been the face of GT in the IPL. Being a captain, he has led the team from the front and has scored runs at the top. He has scored 1966 runs in the last three seasons and has been in good form at the international level as well.

Gill also has a point to prove after he was sacked from a place in the T20 World Cup 2026 for India. Hence, we can see Gill playing a match-winning knock here.

3. Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer had a dream season with PBKS in 2025, both as captain and batter. He took this team to the final and was also leading scorer for them. He finished with 604 runs at 50.33 and a strike rate of 175.07.

Iyer is one of the top Indian players in this league, and his confidence at the crease fills his team with energy as well. He is also in good form and will be looking to take his team to win with a captain’s knock.

4. Prabhsimran Singh

Prabhsimran Singh has become a key player for PBKS at the top, which is why the franchise has retained him in the last two seasons. He finished as PBKS’ second-highest scorer last season.

The opener scored 549 runs at a strike rate of 160.52 and was consistently giving good starts to the team. He is also a keeper and can earn points with the gloves as well.

5. Jos Buttler

Though many will argue that Jos Buttler has been going through a horrible form with the bat. He had a nightmare of a performance in the T20 World Cup 2026 in these conditions. But Buttler in the IPL is a totally different batter.

He scores runs season after season and is a proven match-winner with the bat. He can play spin and pace well. Being a keeper, Buttler will have more chances to earn points behind the wicket as well.
