PBKS vs GT Highlights IPL 2026: Debutant Cooper Connolly Steals the Show in Thriller
The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur witnessed a classic IPL thriller tonight. In Match 4 of the IPL 2026, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) secured a dramatic 3-wicket victory over the Gujarat Titans (GT), chasing down 163 with just 5 balls to spare.
The Hero: Cooper Connolly’s Dream Debut
The night belonged to the 22-year-old Australian debutant, Cooper Connolly. Walking in after the early loss of Priyansh Arya, Connolly showed maturity far beyond his years. He smashed 72 off 44 balls, including 5 massive sixes and 5 fours. His partnership with Prabhsimran Singh (37 off 24) completely shifted the momentum during the middle overs, bringing the required rate down when the game seemed to be slipping away.
Bowling Stars: Vyshak and Chahal Restrict GT
Earlier, the Punjab bowlers executed a perfect plan to restrict a dangerous GT lineup to 162/6.
Vijaykumar Vyshak: The pick of the bowlers with 3/34, taking crucial wickets of Washington Sundar and Shahrukh Khan in the death overs.
Yuzvendra Chahal: Continued his “Titans hoodoo” by dismissing both Shubman Gill (39) and Jos Buttler (38), finishing with clinical figures of 2/28.
Marco Jansen: Set the tone early with an economical spell of 1/20 in his 4 overs.
The Final Over Drama
Despite Prasidh Krishna’s fiery spell (3/29) that brought GT back into the hunt, PBKS stayed calm. With 7 runs needed off the final over, Xavier Bartlett and Marco Jansen kept their cool to seal the win in 19.1 overs.
