'We Were Not Looking At The Score,' Says Sudharsan On Match-winning Partnership With Gill
PCA New Chandigarh Stadium: Gujarat Titans opener B Sai Sudharsan credited captain Shubman Gill for producing a remarkable innings in their seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2, saying the team never focused on the target and instead stuck to a simple ball-by-ball approach during the record chase. Chasing 215 at the PCA New Chandigarh Stadium on Friday, Gujarat rode on Gills magnificent 104 off 53 balls and Sudharsans 58 off 32 deliveries to reach 219/3 with eight balls to spare and book a place in the IPL 2026 final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The opening pair added a match-defining 167 runs, Gujarats highest opening partnership in the playoffs, effectively taking the game away from Rajasthan after they had posted 214/6 thanks largely to Vaibhav Sooryavanshis 96 and late fireworks from Donovan Ferreira. Reflecting on the chase, Sudharsan said the Titans never allowed the scoreboard pressure to affect their approach. To be honest, we were not looking at the score. We were just playing, taking ball by ball. And we kept it very simple, to be honest. We just had every-ball process, and we kept on doing that, and to be honest, Shubhman just took the game away. The way he played, it was just unbelievable. So, credit to Shubhman, Sudharsan said in a video released by IPL on X. Gills fifth IPL century was the centrepiece of Gujarats chase as he struck 15 boundaries and three sixes at a strike rate of nearly 200. Sudharsan complemented him perfectly before being dismissed in bizarre fashion, becoming hit wicket for the second successive match. The left-hander also shed light on the animated celebrations and chemistry shared between him and Gill during partnerships. I feel its a way of bringing up energy for us when we have a very good over or a very good shot, whether he played or I played. I think it just comes so natural, and I enjoy it so much, He said. We try and play an orthodox cricketing shot which doesnt have a lot of risks, so that we are able to replicate it as many times as possible. And we try to be, you know, just being a bit unpredictable, he added. The victory has set up a blockbuster title clash against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. While acknowledging the enormous support RCB are likely to enjoy, Sudharsan insisted Gujarat would focus on controlling what they can. Well mentally prep for the game and try and believe and trust ourselves and the teammates on how we can go about the game and how we can keep the game as normal as possible rather than thinking it as an occasion or an IPL final, he said. Sudharsan also expects RCBs passionate fanbase to make its presence felt in Ahmedabad, just as it did when the two teams met earlier this season. RCB, on a more serious note, they carry the weight of a wonderful tribe of their own fan following as well. We saw that when we played against them in Gujarat the last time. I think, yeah, I think it definitely makes a factor because its all energies where, you know, yeah, definitely they will have a great fan following in Ahmedabad as well, he added. Sudharsan also expects RCBs passionate fanbase to make its presence felt in Ahmedabad, just as it did when the two teams met earlier this season.

The resolution of the Chief Ministerial uncertainty in Karnataka once again underlines an important political reality within the Congress party: while many leaders occupy positions of authority, it is Rahul Gandhi who increasingly emerges as the decisive political force capable of steering the party through difficult and often delicate situations. The manner in which the leadership issue in Bengaluru and CM transition was handled reflects not merely organisational intervention, but a carefully calibrated political exercise driven by patience, consensus-building and strategic clarity. For several weeks, political circles were rife with speculation regarding tensions within the Karnataka Congress leadership. Rumours of dissatisfaction, competing ambitions and internal pressures had created an atmosphere of uncertainty. The opposition attempted to amplify these differences, projecting the Congress government as unstable and vulnerable. Yet, despite the noise and political theatre, the party leadership chose restraint over reaction. At the centre of this calibrated approach stood Rahul Gandhi. What distinguishes Rahul Gandhis political style today is his ability to allow democratic processes within the party to unfold while retaining the final authority to shape outcomes. Unlike the politics of abrupt intervention or public assertion of dominance, Rahul Gandhi increasingly relies upon consultation, observation and strategic timing. The Karnataka issue demonstrates this transformation clearly. Rather than permitting factionalism to deepen, he ensured that dialogue remained open between stakeholders, senior leaders and organisational channels. This not only preserved the unity of the state government but also reinforced the message that the Congress remains capable of internal democratic management. The eventual resolution of the issue reflects political maturity. It prevented a potentially damaging confrontation while simultaneously reaffirming the authority of the central leadership. Rahul Gandhis role was neither theatrical nor overtly commanding; instead, it was subtle yet decisive. He set the process in motion, allowed consultations to mature and finally ensured that a workable political balance prevailed. That ability to quietly influence outcomes without creating public ruptures is increasingly becoming one of his defining political strengths. In many ways, Rahul Gandhi today occupies a unique space in Indian politics. For years, critics attempted to portray him as politically inexperienced or hesitant. However, over the last few years, his political evolution has become visible even to many detractors. His leadership during national campaigns, his sustained ideological positioning and his growing engagement with grassroots politics have gradually reshaped public perception. The Karnataka development adds another layer to this transformation. It demonstrates that Rahul Gandhi is no longer merely a campaigner or symbolic figurehead; he has become the principal political arbiter within the Congress system. The significance of this development extends beyond Karnataka. Regional satraps and state leaders across the country increasingly recognise that Rahul Gandhis political judgement carries decisive weight within the organisation. His ability to balance competing interests without humiliating stakeholders gives him credibility as a consensus-builder. In a party historically known for strong personalities and regional power centres, maintaining equilibrium is never easy. Yet Rahul Gandhi appears to understand that durable political authority in a democratic party emerges not only from formal power but from moral and political legitimacy. Another notable aspect of the Karnataka episode is the message it sends to the opposition. For years, political adversaries thrived on the perception that the Congress lacked coherence and central direction. Any internal disagreement was projected as evidence of institutional decline. However, the management of the CM issue reveals a different reality. The Congress under Rahul Gandhi is learning to absorb pressures without implosion. Internal debates are no longer immediately seen as existential crises. Instead, they are increasingly managed through dialogue and political accommodation. Rahul Gandhis growing influence also stems from his consistency in articulating a broader ideological vision. Whether speaking about constitutional values, social justice, economic inequality or democratic institutions, he has sought to frame politics beyond immediate electoral calculations. This has helped him cultivate an image of a leader driven not merely by office, but by larger political convictions. Consequently, when organisational crises arise, his interventions are viewed within a framework of institutional preservation rather than personal ambition. The Karnataka developments further reveal his understanding of coalition management within the Congress ecosystem itself. Modern Indian politics is no longer defined solely by charismatic command structures. It requires negotiation, emotional intelligence and the capacity to maintain alliances within parties as much as outside them. Rahul Gandhis role in Bengaluru reflected precisely these qualities. He neither allowed indiscipline nor encouraged confrontation. Instead, he facilitated a process through which competing ambitions could coexist within a broader political framework. Importantly, this episode also indicates a shift in the Congress partys internal culture. Decisions are no longer perceived as unilateral decrees emerging from closed rooms. Consultative politics, though often slower and more complicated, creates greater ownership among party leaders. Rahul Gandhi appears increasingly comfortable with such an approach. His style may not resemble the centralised command politics visible elsewhere, but it reflects a different model of leadershipone rooted in persuasion rather than imposition. At a national level, this evolution carries implications for the future trajectory of opposition politics in India. The Congress remains the only national party with the organisational spread capable of mounting a serious challenge to the ruling establishment across multiple states. For that challenge to remain credible, stability within Congress-ruled states is essential. By resolving the Karnataka issue with political sensitivity and organisational discipline, Rahul Gandhi has demonstrated that he understands the strategic importance of governance stability in shaping national perception. The Bengaluru episode, therefore, is not merely about a state leadership matter. It is about the emergence of Rahul Gandhi as the central political mind within the Congress partya leader whose authority is increasingly derived from political judgement, organisational patience and ideological consistency. His ability to prevail finally, after allowing democratic processes to operate, reflects confidence rather than insecurity. Beyond organisational management, Rahul Gandhis political rise today is also rooted in his ability to connect politics with public sentiment and democratic accountability. Through sustained public outreach, nationwide interactions and direct engagement with ordinary citizens, he has gradually repositioned himself as a leader willing to listen as much as to lead. His political journeys across the country were not merely symbolic exercises; they helped create an image of accessibility, empathy and ideological conviction. This growing emotional connect with sections of youth, farmers, civil society and middle-class voters has strengthened his standing within the party as well. Leaders increasingly recognise that Rahul Gandhi is not only shaping Congress strategy internally but is also emerging as one of the principal national voices articulating an alternative political narrative centred around constitutionalism, social harmony and inclusive development. In contemporary Indian politics, where aggressive rhetoric often substitutes for substance, Rahul Gandhis evolving leadership style offers an alternative model: quieter, consultative and strategically patient, yet ultimately decisive. The resolution of the Karnataka CM issue may appear a regional political development on the surface, but in reality it signals something largerthe consolidation of Rahul Gandhi as a leader truly in reckoning within national politics.

IPL 2026: Gills Hundred Leads GT Into Final Against RCB With Seven-wicket Win Over RR (ld)
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Shubman Gills majestic 104 off 53 balls and a record 167run opening partnership with B Sai Sudharsan powered Gujarat Titans to their highest successful chase in the IPL, as they overhauled Rajasthan Royals 214 in Qualifier 2 to book a spot in the title clash, where they will take on defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru. On a tricky twopaced pitch with variable bounce, RR rode on Vaibhav Sooryavanshis sparkling yet mature 96, Ravindra Jadejas attacking 45, and Donovan Ferreiras whirlwind 38 not out to post 214/6 in their 20 overs at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. But Gill stepped up when it mattered the most to score his fifth IPL century, laced with 15 fours and three sixes coming at a strike-rate of 196.23. Though the rest of the GT batters finished off the chase, the game will be remembered for Gills brilliant hundred, where he didnt mistime much and was at his classy best - finding the gaps with ease and being elegant in his pulls and lofts to bring RRs season to an end. Sudharsan, meanwhile, hit 58 off 32 balls, before he extraordinarily fell hit wicket for a second consecutive time - losing control of the bat and hitting the stumps. GTs chase of 215, completed with eight balls to spare, is their highest successful runchase as their usual template of Gill and Sudharsan scoring plenty of runs clicked yet again. The win now sends them into their third IPL final, where they will face RCB at their home ground, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The clash is a repeat of Qualifier 1, with the leagues top two sides contesting for their second IPL title. Electing to bat first, RR were jolted early by losses of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel before Jadeja provided impetus before retiring hurt with an elbow injury and returned later to make 45 off 35 balls. Ferreira then tore into Rashid Khan in the final over, bringing 27 runs, including smashing four sixes, to hit 38 off just 11 deliveries, while Sooryavanshis knock, different in nature from his Eliminator knock of 97, was just as impactful as his 96 off 47 balls was studded with eight fours and seven sixes. It also made Sooryavanshi the quickest batter to reach 1000 IPL runs and become the new holder of the record of most boundaries hit by a batter in a single edition of the IPL. The teenager reached his fifty in 31 balls his slowest half-century in the IPL, but added 46 runs in the next 17 deliveries. The hallmark of his knock was playing as per the situation with remarkable maturity and range of strokes, though he fell one hit short of a century once again. At 9/2, Jadeja, promoted up the order, joined Sooryavanshi to steady the ship. The lefthander counterattacked, pulling Siraj for boundaries and a six, while Sooryavanshi, troubled by bouncers and not finding his usual timing, launched Rabada over the sightscreen for a 91metre maximum. The pair rebuilt briskly and hit boundaries well before Jadeja retired hurt due to an elbow issue. Rashids introduction backfired as Riyan Parag and Sooryavanshi hammered him for 18 runs in the ninth over. Jason Holder, however, pulled things back with wickets of Parag and Dasun Shanaka in quick succession, while Jofra Archers cameo was brought to a stiff end by Prasidh Krishna to leave RR at 120/5. Sooryavanshi dropped once on 46 by Sudharsan, capitalised with clean hitting. After bringing up his fifty, he accelerated with audacious strokes - with a forehand slap off Holder and a towering pull off Siraj being the standout shots. Jadeja returned after treatment and added crucial runs, even as Sooryavanshi cleared Washington Sundar twice for sixes in the 17th over. He looked set for his second IPL hundred of this season, but mistimed the upper cut and was caught at third man off Rabada. Ferreira then took centre stage. After taking two fours off Prasidh, he unleashed a stunning assault on Rashid in the final over - smashing four consecutive sixes, including an insideout loft over extra cover and a slog sweep over midwicket, as his late surge lifted RR past the 210-run mark. GTs chase began with Sudharsan and Gill taking down Jofra Archer, as 19 runs came off it. Gill then hit back-to-back boundaries against Archer in the latters next over to set the tone of a masterful run chase. Nandre Burger leaked more runs, including Sudharsan being dropped on 14 by Donovan Ferreira. Gills timing was impeccable, driving and pulling with authority, while Sudharsan matched him stroke for stroke. By the end of the Power-play, the pair had taken GT to 69 for no loss. Gill continued to dominate, cutting and lofting Brijesh Sharma and Yash Raj Punja with elegance, as he brought up his fifty in 30 balls. Sudharsan too reached his fifty in 26 deliveries with a lofted six off Punja. The partnership continued to flourish with breathtaking and well-timed boundaries, which meant the asking rate never went out of control, before Sudharsans innings ended bizarrely, hit wicket for the second time in successive matches this time off Brijesh Sharma. Gill, meanwhile, brought up his hundred with a lofted extra cover drive off Ravindra Jadeja and celebrated with his trademark bow. Though Gill was trapped lbw by Archer, Jos Buttler and Washington Sundar kept the chase on track, adding quick runs in the middle overs. Sundar struck Archer for a six and four, but perished to Burger for 16. Rahul Tewatia struck Brijesh for successive boundaries before sealing victory with a straight six and booking GTs spot in the final.

IPL 2026: Line And Length Key On tennis-ball Bounce Wicket In New Chandigarh, Says Rabada
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Gujarat Titans pacer Kagiso Rabada, holder of the Purple Cap with 28 scalps, said bowling against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium was about sticking to line and length and adjusting to the tennis ball bounce on offer in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. RR, powered by Vaibhav Sooryavanshis 96, Ravindra Jadejas attacking 45, and Donovan Ferreiras late blitz of 38 not out, have set GT a daunting target of 215 if they are to enter the IPL 2026 final, where they will face defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Both GT and RR are aiming to enter their third IPL final. I think there was a little bit (of help) in that wicket. Its got some tennis ball bounce. So, trying to hang as much as possible in and around that area, and then adjust accordingly. Thats always key, bowling is about line and length. The more you miss your line and length, the more you decrease your chances of getting a wicket.

You still have to form some good partnerships, and then thats the way to chase this total. Article Source: IANS

GT vs RR Qualifier 2 Playing 11: Rajasthan Royals, buoyed by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's explosive 97, face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 for a spot in the IPL 2026 final against RCB. Gujarat seeks redemption after a heavy playoff loss. The winner advances to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the summit clash on May 29 in New Chandigarh.
'If Vaibhav Bats Through Powerplay, RR Will Have The Advantage: Kumble
PCA New International Cricket Stadium: Former India captain Anil Kumble believes Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi could once again hold the key for his side when they face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 of the IPL 2026 at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium on Friday, noting that if the youngster survives the powerplay, it will give a massive advantage to RR. Despite RR's strong performances in the tournament, Kumble feels the side still enters the contest as underdogs but backed them to edge past Gujarat if Vaibhav delivers another impactful start. Its a hard one to predict. Its really hard because Rajasthan have done well, yet they still seem to be the underdogs. I think Ill go with the underdogs. Im still expecting Vaibhav to do what he did against SRH because if Vaibhav does that, Rajasthan will have the advantage, Kumble told JioHotstar. The young RR opener has been one of the standout performers of the season and currently holds the Orange Cap. The 15-year-old played a brilliant knock of 97 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which proved crucial to their big win in the eliminator. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the Orange Cap holder, and that doesnt come from doing it just once or against a couple of teams. Hes done it consistently over the last two months, and that says a lot about the youngster. Its not just about going out there and bashing a few sixes, even though he is the highest six-hitter now. If he bats through the Powerplay, RR will have the advantage, Kumble added. Kumble, however, pointed out that the Gujarat Titans possess a potent new-ball attack capable of putting Rajasthan under pressure early in the innings. GT have a very set plan. They have Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada bowling three overs each, and thats where the game could change, he said. The former India leg-spinner also noted that the conditions in Ahmedabad have suited Gujarats seamers this season, though he expects them to regroup after their previous outing.
