PBKS Vs GT, IPL 2026: Yuzvendra Chahal Dominates Shubman Gill Match-Up; Dismisses Him For Fourth Time

Yuzvendra Chahal reasserted his dominance over Shubman Gill during the IPL 2026 clash between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, New Chandigarh on March 31, Tuesday. In what has become one of the most one-sided player battles in the league, Chahal dismissed the Titans' captain for the fourth time in their IPL history, effectively giving the Gujarat Titans side a big blow.

The dismissal occurred in the 10th over of the first innings. Gill, who had raced to a fluent 39 off 27 balls, looked set for a big score before Chahal was introduced to provide a breakthrough. Sensing the need to accelerate, Gill attempted a slog sweep against a flighted delivery. However, he failed to get the desired distance, and the ball sailed straight into the hands of debutant Cooper Connolly at deep mid-wicket.

However, the Punjab bowlers managed to strike at key intervals to keep the game balanced. Marco Jansen provided the first breakthrough by dismissing Sai Sudharsan for 13, and just as the Titans were building momentum, the game saw its most talked-about moment when Yuzvendra Chahal dismissed Shubman Gill.
