Netizens reacted to the Gujarat Titans defeating Punjab Kings by a margin of four wickets on Sunday, May 3. Both teams were up against the Titans in the 45th league-stage clash of the IPL 2026 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Home skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and invited the rivals to put the score on the board first. The Kings, who were coming off their first loss of the season, were aiming for a rebound. However, the Titans bowlers were seeking revenge for their past defeat to PBKS, and went all out from the first over.
The Jason Holder-led bowling unit dismantled the Punjabi batting lineup and restricted them to an average score of 163 runs for nine wickets. In return, GT opener Sai Sudharsan opened up with a 41-ball 57 to narrow
the gap between the team and the chase. While the Kings got occasional successes, Washington Sundar played a crucial knock of 40* runs off 23 balls. Apart from them, no other player could manage to contribute much.
