IPL 2026: One Of Those Games We Would Like To Forget, Says Gill After GT Lose To RCB
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill admitted that poor fielding and mistakes under pressure proved costly as his side suffered a crushing 92-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Tuesday. The loss ended Gujarats hopes of reaching the final directly, while defending champions RCB booked their place in a second consecutive IPL final after bowling out GT for 162 in reply to a massive 254/5. Gill said Gujarat were still in the game till the middle overs but failed to handle pressure situations properly. I think we were going pretty well up until the 12th or 13th over. I dont think our fielding was at par. We dropped a couple of catches, and our ground fielding was also not up to the mark, Gill said after the match. RCB captain Rajat Patidar made Gujarat pay heavily for those missed chances, smashing an unbeaten 93 off just 39 balls. Gujarat also leaked runs through misfields and no-balls during the middle overs as RCB registered the highest total in IPL playoff history. Reflecting on the defeat, Gill described it as a match the team would prefer to move on from quickly. This is one of those games that we would like to forget and start over in Mohali, he said. Despite the disappointing result, the Gujarat captain insisted the team regularly works on fielding during practice and team meetings. Its definitely something that we address in team meetings and practice sessions. The intensity was there, but in pressure situations, we were not up to the mark, Gill added. Chasing a daunting target of 255 on a batting-friendly Dharamshala pitch, Gujarat lost wickets at regular intervals. Gill himself was dismissed for just two runs by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, while Jos Buttlers quick 29 was the only early resistance before Rahul Tewatia fought a lone battle with 68 off 43 balls. Gill, however, believed the target could still have been chased if GT had managed a strong start in the power play. Its all about getting a good start. On a ground like this, where the ball travels, and the outfield is quick, if we had a good power play, any target could have been chaseable with the way the wicket was playing, he explained.

IPL 2026: Patidars Unbeaten 93 Powers RCB To Record 254/5 Against GT In Qualifier 1
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Captain Rajat Patidar produced a sensational unbeaten knock of 93 while Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya chipped in with quickfire 43s as Royal Challengers Bengaluru stormed to a record-breaking 254/5 in 20 overs against Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Tuesday. Asked to bat first after losing the toss, RCB came out with aggressive intent right from the opening over. Venkatesh Iyer gave the innings a flying start by taking on former RCB pacer Mohammed Siraj. The left-hander smashed three boundaries in the opening over and continued his attacking approach against Kagiso Rabada, hammering a six before falling on the very next delivery. Trying to pull a short ball, Iyer miscued his shot, and Shubman Gill completed a superb catch. The openers entertaining cameo ended at 19 off just seven deliveries, an innings studded with three fours and a six. Despite the early wicket, RCBs momentum never slowed down. Devdutt Padikkal joined Virat Kohli in the middle, and the pair launched a fierce counterattack against the Gujarat bowlers. Kohli looked in sublime touch as he drove Siraj for boundaries, while Padikkal targeted Rabada with three successive fours in one over. Kohli then took complete control in the final over of the Power-play, smashing Rabada for two boundaries and a six to propel RCB to 76/1, their highest Power-play total of the season. Just when RCB appeared set for an even bigger assault, the Gujarat Titans made a breakthrough via Jason Holder. Kohli, attempting another attacking stroke, saw the ball take the edge and crash into the stumps. The former RCB captain departed for a fluent 43 off 25 balls, narrowly missing out on a half-century. His innings featured five fours and a six. Holder struck again in the same over to bring Gujarat back briefly into the contest. Padikkal edged an outswinger behind after a brisk 30 off 19 deliveries that included five boundaries. From 91/1, RCB suddenly slipped to 102/3. However, skipper Rajat Patidar ensured the innings stayed firmly on course. Promoted up the order, Krunal Pandya joined his captain, and the duo rebuilt the innings smartly before shifting gears dramatically in the middle overs. Krunal began the acceleration by smashing a six off Prasidh Krishna, while Patidar initially took time to settle before exploding into action. The RCB captain also enjoyed a slice of luck when Gujarat fielders dropped him twice in the same over during the 13th over. Those missed chances proved extremely costly for the Gujarat Titans. The pressure visibly affected the fielding side as Kulwant Khejroliya bowled two no-balls in the following over, while Nishant Sandhu committed a costly misfield. RCB capitalised fully on the errors and collected 28 runs from the 15th over to regain complete control of the innings. The carnage continued in the next over as even Rashid Khan, usually one of the most economical bowlers in T20 cricket, was taken apart for 21 runs. RCB raced towards the 200-run mark with remarkable ease as Patidar began unleashing a range of powerful strokes all around the ground. Gujarat eventually ended the threatening stand when Rabada dismissed Krunal with a well-disguised slower delivery. Krunal played an impactful innings of 43 from 28 balls, hitting five fours and two sixes during his stay. At the other end, Patidar reached his half-century in stunning fashion, bringing it up in only 21 balls with back-to-back sixes off Rabada in the 17th over. Tim David, returning to the playing XI, failed to provide the late flourish RCB expected as he was bowled by Prasidh Krishna for just four runs. But Patidar ensured there was no slowdown in scoring. The RCB captain dominated the death overs with fearless hitting, dispatching the Gujarat bowlers to every part of the stadium. Patidar remained unbeaten on 93 off just 39 balls, smashing five fours and nine towering sixes in a breathtaking captains knock. Jitesh Sharma also played a useful cameo of 15 as RCB crossed the 250-run mark, registering the highest total ever recorded in IPL playoff history. For the Gujarat Titans, Jason Holder and Kagiso Rabada picked up two wickets each, but their bowlers struggled badly under relentless pressure from the RCB batting line-up.

IPL 2026: Bhuvneshwar Kumar Has Been on Fire This Season, Says RCB Pacer Hazlewood
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Josh Hazlewood showered praise on his new-ball partner Bhuvneshwar Kumar ahead of Qualifier 1 against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the HPCA stadium, calling the veteran seamer one of the biggest reasons behind RCBs strong bowling performances this season. Speaking before the crucial clash, Hazlewood highlighted the advantage of bowling alongside Bhuvneshwar, whose ability to strike early has consistently put opposition teams under pressure. It's pretty handy. You're bowling the second over at probably number three and four batters sometimes. So you don't even need to do your homework on the opener sometimes, Hazlewood told the broadcasters ahead of the match. The Australian quick also praised Bhuvneshwars remarkable consistency this season, especially his control with the new ball. Bhuvi has been in fantastic form. I still think he's leading the wickets, maybe, and his economy is unbelievable. So he's been on fire, he added. Bhuvneshwar is having an outstanding IPL 2026 campaign, leading the race for the Purple Cap as the tournament's top wicket-taker with 24 wickets in 14 matches. Playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), he has become the cornerstone of their bowling attack, proving age is just a number with an average of 16.38 and a good economy of 7.70. Hazlewood also stressed the importance of creating pressure against the Gujarat Titans top-heavy batting line-up, which has relied heavily on its leading batters throughout the season. Obviously, they rely pretty heavily on the top three. They've done most of their work at the top of the order throughout the whole tournament, Hazlewood said. They're class players. If you bowl poorly, they hurt you big time. But if you can string a couple of dots together, create pressure and get a couple of early wickets, that's key, he added.

'The Balls Coming Out Great, Says Rabada On Strong IPL 2026 Performance
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Titans (GT) pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada expressed confidence in his form and rhythm ahead of Qualifier 1 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, saying the ball has been coming out great as he prepares for the final phase of IPL 2026. Speaking before the high-pressure clash, Rabada said he is happy with the way he has bowled so far in the tournament and hopes to carry that momentum into the playoffs. The ball's coming out great. I think that's pretty evident. So I'm happy with the way that things have gone thus far, Rabada told broadcasters ahead of the clash. Now I'm into the final push. So hopefully it just keeps happening my way, he added. The South African fast bowler has been one of the Gujarat Titans key performers this season, using both pace and variations effectively in crucial phases of the innings. He has taken 24 wickets in 14 matches. Rabada explained that while there is planning involved behind the scenes, his use of slower deliveries and change-ups often depends on instinct during the game. I think it's just in the moment. It's instinctual in the moment. You do plan a bit, but it's just about seeing what's happening and then adapting, he said. The experienced pacer also described the upcoming battle between GT and RCB as an evenly matched contest featuring two strong bowling attacks and explosive opening partnerships. Both attacks are really good. And the opening stands are really good too. They've been doing well on both teams, Rabada said. Its just about performing your strength to the best of your ability.

I think this match is all about taking the equation out of the game. We have been playing some really good cricket, and hopefully we'll continue to do so. I've played a lot here in the under-14 and under-16 days. I've spent quite a bit of time here, so yeah, hopefully it's gonna be a good use of us. And yes, it is one of the prettiest grounds in the world. We have one change. Kulwant comes in place of Arshad Khan, he added. While after losing the toss, RCB skipper Rajat Patidar said, I think, to be honest, the wicket looks pretty good. It's pretty hard. It will come nicely on the bat, so I think it will not change in 40 overs. So we'll try to put a good total on the board and keep them under pressure. I think the first qualifier game is, I think it's a nice game to go straight to the final after winning this game, but we are just taking this one game at a time. We'll give our best in this game. I think we've played good cricket and we are just focusing more on our strength, rather than focusing more on the opposition. So yeah, focusing more on the strength is our motto this year. I think the surface looks pretty good. It's pretty hard. There's no grass cover on it, I think so. It will be nice to bat on, he added.

IPL 2026: 'Bhuvneshwar Kumar Can Trouble GTs Top Order,' Says Sanjay Bangar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar could play a decisive role for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2026 against the Gujarat Titans, saying his ability to swing the ball both ways makes him a serious threat to GTs top order. Bangar said Bhuvneshwars new-ball spell could prove crucial against Gujarats strong batting unit, particularly against top-order batters Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be a real challenge for GT's top three. He swings the ball both ways. He can test Sai Sudharsan with outswing, and trouble Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill with inswing, Bangar told Jio Hotstar. The former India all-rounder particularly pointed out Buttlers vulnerability against deliveries coming back into him and explained how Bhuvneshwar could exploit that weakness. Buttler is especially vulnerable to LBW. That's why he often steps out to play around off stump. In the last game, Bhuvi even got him out by bowling him around the wicket, he added. Bangar showered praise on the experienced seamer for the intelligence and planning behind his bowling performances throughout the season. Every wicket Bhuvi has taken this season has been a work of art. You can see the thought behind each dismissal. I've really enjoyed watching him bowl, he said. With conditions in Dharamshala expected to assist seam bowlers with movement and bounce, Bangar felt Bhuvneshwar could once again become a major factor in the high-stakes clash.

IPL 2026: 'Kohlis Battle Against GT Pacers Will Decide Qualifier 1,' Says Bangar
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes Virat Kohli will hold the key for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2026 against Gujarat Titans, saying the veteran batter will need to play a long innings against GTs formidable pace attack. RCB take on Gujarat Titans in the first qualifier at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Tuesday, with both teams eyeing a direct place in the IPL 2026 final. Bangar said Gujarats bowling strength, especially in the Powerplay, could make life difficult for RCBs top order, and Kohli needs to tackle the challenge and bat deep. Virat Kohli will need to bat deep because the Gujarat Titans have a quality bowling attack. In the Powerplay, RCB will have to handle three overs from Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj. That will be a tough test, Bangar told Jio Hotstar. The former India all-rounder also predicted a possible change in Bengaluru's batting combination, saying he expects Venkatesh Iyer to open the innings ahead of Phil Salt. Looking at GT's team composition, I expect Venkatesh Iyer to open the innings. I don't see Phil Salt playing ahead of him, he added. Bangar stressed that with GT possessing one of the strongest bowling attacks in the tournament, RCB would need Kohli to anchor the innings and build partnerships around him. Since GT's bowling is strong, RCB will need someone to hold one end and build partnerships. That makes Virat Kohli's role crucial. If he plays a big innings, RCB's chances of winning will go up significantly, he said. The contest between Virat Kohli and GT's pace attack of Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj will be a key factor in this match. Who can forget that league game where Kohli smashed five boundaries off Rabada in a single over. Yes, he got out in the next over, but the intent he showed was a statement, Bangar noted. The former RCB coach further explained that Gujarats bowling becomes less threatening if they fail to strike early in the innings. RCB's openers will need to balance aggression with caution because when GT haven't taken wickets in the first six overs, their bowling has looked less threatening in the middle and death overs, he said. The former RCB coach further explained that Gujarats bowling becomes less threatening if they fail to strike early in the innings.

Dharamshala Pitch Will Make Gujarats Pace Attack More Dangerous: Irfan Pathan
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes Gujarat Titans (GT) will head into Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2026 as slight favourites against defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), citing the Dharamshala conditions and the strength of Gujarats pace attack. RCB and GT will clash in the first qualifier on Tuesday at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala, with a place in the IPL 2026 final at stake. Speaking ahead of the high-profile encounter, Pathan said the conditions in Dharamshala are likely to assist fast bowlers with swing and bounce, something that could work heavily in Gujarats favour. The conditions in Dharamshala will favour fast bowling. There will be swing and bounce on offer. I think Gujarat have a slight edge because of the quality and consistency of their pace attack, Pathan told Jio Hotstar. Their fast bowlers have been performing well even on flat tracks in Ahmedabad. Here, with the ball moving and bouncing, they will be even more dangerous. How quickly both teams adapt will matter, but Gujarat start as favourites because their bowling is better suited to these conditions, he added. Pathan also reserved special praise for Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill, highlighting his growth as both captain and batter during the ongoing season. Shubman Gill has done a remarkable job captaining the Gujarat Titans, and his batting has also been excellent. He has grown as a batter and will relish the challenge of facing RCB, Pathan said. The former India pacer particularly praised Gills ability against pace and spin bowling, saying the opener has added greater intent to his game this season. His off-side play against pace bowlers is top-class. He steps out, gets into position, and once he is set, he attacks with intent. Against spin, he uses the slog sweep to hit big shots, he explained. Pathan also felt Gill entered IPL 2026 with a point to prove after losing his place in the Indian side for the T20 World Cup 2026, and believes the right-hander is determined to force his way back into the national team setup.

IPL 2026 Playoffs: Virat Kohli vs 15-Year-Old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Sets Up Generational Battle
Veteran batting great Virat Kohli and 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be in the spotlight as the T20 Indian Premier League spans the generations in the playoffs beginning on Tuesday. There are 22 years between the 37-year-old Kohli, who helped power defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the top of the regular season standings, and teenage prodigy Sooryavanshi whose batting fireworks have been the talk of the IPL season. Kohli and Bengaluru will meet Gujarat Titans in the first qualifying play-off in Dharamsala on Tuesday with the winner going straight into Sunday's final in Ahmedabad. Sooryavanshi and Rajasthan Royals sealed the final play-off berth only on Sunday and will meet Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday in Chandigarh, where the losers will go home. The winner will face the loser of Tuesday's qualifying playoff in the final eliminator on Friday in Chandigarh. We don't pick age, we pick ability, Rajasthan head coach Kumar Sangakkara said, referring to the 15-year-old rising star. All guys, young and old, have done well to drag us to qualification. England fast bowler Jofra Archer has also been instrumental in Rajasthan's campaign, scoring 32 runs and taking 3-17 in the win that saw them into the last four. Kohli, who has stepped away from Test cricket and T20 internationals, is chasing a second straight IPL title with Bengaluru after waiting 18 seasons to lift his first in 2025. Even after all these years, it is the love for the game. I just love hitting the ball in the middle of the bat. That joy is still there, said Kohli, who is ninth on the IPL batting chart with 557 runs and a top score of 105 not out. Sooryavanshi is fifth on 583 runs with and a best of 103 off 37 balls. Rajasthan's opponents on Wednesday will be Sunrisers Hyderabad, who boast a formidable batting line-up featuring openers Travis Head of Australia, Abhishek Sharma and South African Heinrich Klaasen, who has hammered 606 runs with six half-centuries. The batting chart is topped by Gujarat Titans openers Sai Sudharsan (638 runs) and Shubman Gill (616). Gujarat won the IPL in their debut season in 2022 and if they reach the final again will play the showpiece in their home 130,000-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The 10-team league has staged 70 matches over seven intense weeks of action but has seen a drop in its television audience, with BARC India and TAM Sports reporting average viewership down 26 percent.

I know Venky from childhood and the way he presents himself is extraordinary. The way he plays in any given situation and his flexibility in the batting order, I really like his attitude.
