Not Easy Being A Skipper, Riyan Deserves Credit For His Amazing Captaincy Against GT: Bangar
Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar heaped praise on Rajasthan Royals skipper Riyan Parag for his composure and decision-making in a tense finish against the Gujarat Titans on Saturday, highlighting how leadership played a defining role in their six-run win. In a match that went down to the final over at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Rajasthans decision to hand the ball to Tushar Deshpande proved decisive, with the pacer defending 11 runs under pressure. Bangar underlined that the foundation of the win lay in Parags captaincy during crunch moments. With multiple bowling choices available, the RR skipper's clarity stood out as he backed Deshpande for the final over, a decision that ultimately sealed the game. Riyan Parag deserves the credit for his amazing captaincy in this match against GT. It is not an easy job being a skipper, especially when you have tons of bowling options to choose from and you find yourself in a high-pressure situation. Riyan clearly trusted Tushar Deshpande to bowl the final over and when a captain chooses you to bowl an over that's a do-or-die one, then you have to do well. If you don't, your team will lose, Bangar told JioStar. Bangar stressed that beyond tactics, a captains role is also about instilling belief in players during high-stakes situations. It is important for the skipper to motivate the bowler when asking him to do such a tough job. You have to constantly tell them that you can do it, and Tushar Deshpande lived upto the expectations by soaking in all the pressure and bowled the best over of his cricket career, he said. Deshpande responded with an ice-cool over, conceding just four runs and dismissing Rashid Khan at a crucial juncture to swing the match decisively in Rajasthans favour. Bangar also highlighted the long-term impact of such trust between captain and bowler, saying, Once you get that kind of trust and faith from your skipper, it is a wonderful feeling. Every time Rajasthan finds themselves in a nail-biting situation, Riyan Parag will go towards Tushar Deshpande because he has done it once and can do it again. He summed up the moment as a perfect blend of leadership and execution, stating, So brilliant from the captain, great execution from the bowler. The celebration at the end tells us how hungry RR was for this win. Apart from the final over heroics, Bangar also reserved praise for leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who turned the game with a four-wicket haul to derail Gujarats chase. Bishnois control and discipline made it difficult for batters to settle, even without a wide range of variations. Explaining Bishnois effectiveness, Bangar pointed out his unique bowling approach.

GT Will Rue Lost Opportunities When Playoff Race Heats Up: Steyn
After Gujarat Titans: After Gujarat Titans' narrow loss to Rajasthan Royals in a final-over thriller, former South African pacer Dale Steyn believes that when the playoffs race heats up, GT would look back at this game and regret missed opportunities. A dramatic final over from pacer Tushar Deshpande helped Rajasthan Royals clinch a thrilling six-run win over Gujarat Titans in a nail-biting encounter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. After opting to bat first, Rajasthan posted a competitive 210/6 in 20 overs, riding on fine half-centuries from Dhruv Jurel and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Gujarats chase was spearheaded by a brilliant knock from Sai Sudharsan, but despite a late surge from Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada, the hosts fell agonisingly short. This match between GT and RR is easily the best game of IPL 2026, Steyn remarked, drawing attention to the high stakes and intense drama that unfolded throughout the evening. He added that the Gujarat Titans, after a strong start, While Rajasthan came out on top, it wasnt for a lack of effort from Gujarat. The Titans, chasing a challenging 211, were well-placed at various stages, especially with Sai Sudharsans superb 73 and a late counter-attack from Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada. However, Steyn pointed out that Gujarats inability to capitalise on those moments was ultimately their downfall. In the latter half of the season, when the playoff spots will be decided, GT will look at this match and wonder how many opportunities they had to win it. But they did not capitalise and let the match slip away, Steyn said, underscoring the importance of seizing crucial moments in tight matches like these. RR are going to be really happy with this win. Their last victory against CSK, they did not have to work hard to secure it. But here against GT, the match went down to the final over and RR were forced to do everything they could to seal the win, Steyn explained, emphasising that the teams resolve had been tested to the maximum. This shift in mentality, according to Steyn, is crucial for Rajasthan as they move forward in the tournament. Last season, Rajasthan had a heartbreaker of an IPL season. They lost matches by small margins. They missed out on golden opportunities to seal the win. They could not convert the chances into victories. But this season, RR is looking like a different team. A side that is determined to try every trick up their sleeve to ensure they don't go empty-handed without sealing the win. However, the game-changing moment came in the final over, when Rajasthan captain Riyan Parag entrusted Tushar Deshpande with the responsibility of defending 11 runs. Steyn was full of admiration for the pacers composure and execution under extreme pressure. The final over bowled by Tushar Deshpande was exceptional. He executed his Yorkers perfectly under pressure, did not give any chances to a player like Rashid Khan to find the boundary and he ensured his team did not suffer any hiccups in the final over of a 200-plus run chase, Steyn said. Steyn went on to acknowledge that the performance would likely boost Deshpandes profile for a potential call-up to the senior Indian team and that the ability to handle pressure and execute plans perfectly in such moments is a rare quality in cricketers. The final over bowled by Tushar Deshpande was exceptional.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score He added, Tushar bowled four inch-perfect Yorkers, then he changed his line and delivered the length ball and by doing that, he baited Rashid Khan into hitting a big shot on that delivery and he ended up getting caught on the boundary line. Wonderful display of game sense. Tushar Deshpande bowled in a fearless manner and this bowling performance will ensure that the Indian selectors don't take their eyes off him this IPL season.

Missing Gill Was A Big Setback For GT, But Sudharsan Did The Heavy Lifting: Ashwin
Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin opened up on Sai Sudharsan's knock for Gujarat Titans in the absence of skipper Shubman Gill and said the way Sudharsan started his innings showed that he understands his strengths well. Sudharsan produced a batting masterclass of 73 off just 44 balls, but it wasnt enough as the Titans lost wickets at important stages to suffer a heartbreaking defeat in their first home game of the season at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday evening. Sai Sudharsan knew that Shubman wasn't playing today, so he had to do the heavy lifting himself. The way he started showed that he understands his strengths. He used pace well, guiding the ball towards third man, and then played some good cover drives on the front foot. He took on Jadeja immediately after he came into the attack, made use of the pace, and followed it up with a slog sweep, Ashwin said on JioStar. Gill missed the GT's game against RR owing to a muscle spasm, and Rashid Khan led the side in his absence. Ashiwn feels that when Gill returns, his opening combination with Sudharsan will be the key for GT to move forward. These are the strong areas for Sudharsan, which he relies on, and he got the results. He needs to play like this, carry the innings, but at a good tempo. And for the Gujarat Titans, missing Shubman Gill was a big setback. So obviously, when Shubman returns, this opening combination will be key for them going forward, yet again, he added. With the thrilling win against GT, RR won their second straight match. Having beaten Chennai Super Kings handily in their opener, the Royals currently top the standings with four points and a Net Run Rate of +2.233 - the best among all teams so far. Defending 210, Rajasthan were under pressure in the closing stages of Gujarats chase as stand-in skipper Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada threatened to pull off a stunning finish. With the match heading into the final two overs, skipper Riyan Parag said the plan was to attack the stumps with pace and keep the batters from freeing their arms. He revealed he had initially considered altering the bowling order at the death but eventually stuck with Archer for the penultimate over after a timely suggestion from Dhurv Jurel and handed a final over to Tushar Deshpande, who managed to defend 10 off the final over to seal a second straight victory. Former allrounder Irfan Pathan reckoned that the win and some key decisions at the end will give a lot of confidence to Riyan Parag as a captain. He revealed he had initially considered altering the bowling order at the death but eventually stuck with Archer for the penultimate over after a timely suggestion from Dhurv Jurel and handed a final over to Tushar Deshpande, who managed to defend 10 off the final over to seal a second straight victory. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Jofra used his experience, used his pace, and didnt give any room to either Rabada or Rashid Khan, who were going strong. That over set it up nicely for Tushar Deshpande, because if GT had gotten 10 runs off it, the game would have been done then. It was a special over from Jofra. And credit to Tushar Deshpande, who held his nerve and bowled accurate yorkers, one after the other, to get his side home, Pathan concluded. Article Source: IANS
'Losing Quick Wickets, Bowlers Lacked Rhythm': Hayden Dissects GT's Narrow Loss To RR
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gujarat Titans batting coach Matthew Hayden believes a sudden flurry of wickets turned a certain victory into a heartbreaking loss against the Rajasthan Royals. Chasing a target of 211, GT were well-placed at many points. After ten overs, they were 103 for 1. But then Ravi Bishnoi changed the game as the hosts went from 107 for 1 in the 11th over to 161/7 in the 15th. In the final few overs, Rashid Khan (24), who stepped in to lead the side after skipper Shubman Gill missed the game due to a muscle spasm, and Kagiso Rabada (23) almost pulled off a run-chase with their cameos, however, it wasnt enough as GT fell short by just six runs. I think we lost four for ten in that period. The game was absolutely in the bag. Washi Sundar had a pretty big decision to make at that point around if youre going to attack someone like Bishnoi, who was on a roll, especially after the dismissal. That was maybe a choice that he can look at and will look at as well in terms of just trying to be a little bit more cohesive in our run chases, because it has to be said there wasnt a lot that went wrong in those first 12 overs. There was plenty of great stuff, Hayden said at the press conference after the game. The run out was something that, again, was a decision which Shahrukh and Rashid had to make at the time. I havent broken down that play because as a coach you tend to kind of look at the ball, but Ill be interested also to see the approach when we get back to vision of how that run was executed. It certainly looked from the sideline that Jaddu bumped the ball quite a long way away from him and to regather, as we know, hes so quick and hes so good at getting and releasing the ball, he added. But there's two wickets straightaway that would have been the difference. Again, we're talking about six runs. So those little things in T20 cricket, when you're chasing down a big total, which we were, they become vital in the decision-making process of a batting unit. Earlier, bowling first, Rabada picked up two wickets, while Mohammed Siraj, Ashok Sharma, Prasidh Krishna andRashid chipped in with one scalp each to restrict the Rajasthan Royals to 210/6. Hayden, however, admitted that key bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Rabada and Rashid little bit off their rhythm. I felt like a lot of our bowlers were just a little bit off their rhythm and their line in particular. KG Rabada's figures, I think, were a bit more expensive than perhaps what he bowled today. I thought he was actually pretty good and same too with Rashid. Siraj had an off day, simple as that. When we reviewed his pitch map, he was a little bit too short, a little bit too wide, and that's just a great bowler just having an off day. Whereas I thought Rashid actually could have had a much better day. It could have been a couple more wickets in the wicket column and so too with KG Rabada as well. Hayden, however, admitted that key bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Rabada and Rashid little bit off their rhythm. I felt like a lot of our bowlers were just a little bit off their rhythm and their line in particular. KG Rabada's figures, I think, were a bit more expensive than perhaps what he bowled today.

Gujarats chase was spearheaded by a brilliant knock from Sai Sudharsan, but despite a late surge from Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada, the hosts fell agonisingly short. Rajasthan, who won the toss and elected to bat, began aggressively with Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi putting the Gujarat bowlers under pressure in the Power-play. The duo raced to 69/0 in six overs, with Jaiswal striking fluently through the off side. Rashid eventually broke the stand by removing Sooryavanshi for a brisk 31 off 18 balls. Jaiswal carried the momentum forward and brought up a well-paced half-century before falling for 55 off 36 deliveries to Rabada. Rajasthan briefly lost momentum with a couple of wickets, but Jurel ensured the innings retained its impetus. The wicketkeeper-batter paced his knock beautifully before launching an assault in the death overs, smashing 75 off 42 balls with five fours and as many sixes. Cameos from Shimron Hetmyer and the middle-order batters lifted Rajasthan past the 200-run mark. GT were without their regular captain, Shubman Gill, who missed the match due to a muscle spasm, as Kumar Kushagra made his debut and opened the innings alongside Sudharsan. Chasing 211, the pair provided a steady start, reaching 56 without loss in the powerplay. Sudharsan looked in sublime touch, striking cleanly against both pace and spin. Kushagra contributed a handy 18 off 14 balls before being caught at long-on off Riyan Parag, ending the opening stand. Sudharsan continued to dominate, reaching a fluent half-century and keeping Gujarat well in the chase. However, Rajasthan struck back through leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who turned the game with a superb four-wicket haul, registering his best figures in the tournament. Bishnoi removed the dangerous Sudharsan for a splendid 73 off 44 balls before also dismissing Glenn Phillips and Washington Sundar in quick succession. With wickets tumbling, Gujarat slipped from a comfortable position to 133/5, and the pressure mounted further when Jos Buttler fell to Nandre Burger. Just when Rajasthan appeared in full control, Rashid and Rabada produced a stunning counterattack. The duo, sharing a 43-run partnership, added quick runs with fearless hitting, including a towering six from Rabada and several clever boundaries from Rashid, bringing the equation down dramatically. Needing 11 runs in the final over, RR skipper Parag entrusted Deshpande with the responsibility. The pacer delivered under immense pressure, repeatedly nailing his yorkers and restricting the batters. The decisive moment came when Rashid attempted a big shot but was caught by Jofra Archer in the deep, leaving Gujarat with too much to do. Deshpande conceded just four runs in the final over to seal a thrilling victory for Rajasthan in what turned out to be the first nail-biter of the season.

IPL 2026: T20 Cricket Is Evolving Every Year, Players Taking More Risk: Buttler
Narendra Modi Stadium: Ahead of the high-profile clash between the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium, England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler shared his thoughts on the evolution of T20 cricket, noting that the new dynamics have seen young, up-and-coming players taking on more risks and it is crucial to assess the conditions and make plans accordingly. Set to take on his former side, the Rajasthan Royals, Buttler admitted there is a sense of familiarity, but his focus remains firmly on the contest ahead. I'm looking forward to it. It is great to see some familiar faces, but looking forward to the game, it should be a great night, he said. Addressing questions around his recent form, Buttler emphasised a grounded, process-driven approach rather than dwelling on outcomes. It's just the same as it is. Whether youre in form or out of form, you wake up and train hard, work hard, and trust in that. You know you have done these things before, but looking forward to the future and trusting that again, he explained. Now representing the Gujarat Titans, Buttler also spoke about playing in Ahmedabad, a venue where he has enjoyed considerable success. Yes, it's a boost, but again, like I said, whether you have been scoring runs or not, the past you can take confidence from very much about working out there, starting on good and playing the game in front of you, but it is always a good venue to play at. Usually, a pretty good wicket, it is going to be the same for both sides, so it's going to be a good game, he noted, while underlining the importance of staying present despite past performances.

IPL 2026: Jurel-Jaiswal Heroics Power RR To 210/6 Against GT
Indian Premier League: Half-centuries from wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal powered Rajasthan Royals to a commanding 210/6 in 20 overs against hosts Gujarat Titans in the ninth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. After winning the toss and opting to bat, Rajasthan made full use of the batting-friendly surface with a fluent start from their opening pair against the Titans, who were led by stand-in skipper Rashid Khan as regular captain Shubman Gill missed the match due to a muscle spasm. Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi set the tone early, capitalising on wayward lines from the Gujarat pacers. Sooryavanshi got going with a couple of boundaries off Mohammed Siraj, while Jaiswal punished anything overpitched with crisp drives and pulls. The duo raced to 69 without loss in the powerplay, with Jaiswals aggressive strokeplay complemented by Sooryavanshis inventive hitting. The breakthrough finally came in the seventh over when Rashid induced a miscued pull from Sooryavanshi, who departed for a brisk 31 off 18 balls. Despite the wicket, Jaiswal continued to anchor the innings, bringing up a composed half-century off 32 balls with a stylish boundary through extra cover. However, the left-handers stay ended soon after when Kagiso Rabada struck with a sharp delivery that crashed into the stumps, dismissing him for 55 off 36 balls. Rajasthan briefly lost momentum with the quick wickets of Riyan Parag and later Donovan Ferreira, but Jurel ensured the scoring rate never dipped. The right-hander initially rotated the strike before launching a calculated assault in the final phase. He used the crease's depth well against spin and targeted the seamers with powerful bottom-hand shots, clearing the ropes with ease. Jurel brought up a fine fifty in the 17th over and continued to dominate the death overs, including a towering six off Prasidh Krishna. Late cameos also helped Rajasthan surge past the 200-run mark. Shimron Hetmyer chipped in with a quick 18 off eight balls before falling to a sharp catch by Siraj, while Ravindra Jadeja added useful runs in the closing overs. Jurel eventually fell in the final over to Siraj after a superb knock of 75 from 42 deliveries, which included five fours and as many sixes. For Gujarat, Rabada was the pick of the bowlers with 2/42, while Prasidh and Rashid claimed a wicket each. Siraj finished with 1/48 despite striking in the final over.

IPL 2026: Hetmyer Eager To get Across The Line In Close And Tough Chases For RR
Indian Premier League: On the eve of Rajasthan Royals clash against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer struck a positive and reflective tone, expressing confidence, excitement, and a clear sense of purpose heading into the new season. Winning the first game always helps, and everyone is in good spirits, Hetmyer said, highlighting the importance of early momentum in a long tournament. Looking ahead to another campaign with the Rajasthan Royals, the left-hander did not attempt to hide his enthusiasm. I am excited. Coming into the tournament, Ive been hitting a few balls as well for the last couple of months, so I'm really excited to get started, he remarked, indicating he feels well-prepared after time spent working on his game. A notable talking point this season is Hetmyers potential shift up the batting order. Reflecting on the adjustment to batting at No. 3, he acknowledged the tactical and mental changes required. Just a change of mindset. Batting at 3 makes a different challenge than batting at 5 or 6. Betting at 3 to ball just moves above a little bit, a lot more than it does at 5 or 6, just about doing the basics, keeping in your shape and staying in your shape for as long as possible as well, he explained. Hetmyer also addressed lessons from last season, particularly in tight chases where the Royals fell just short. His takeaway was simple yet emphatic. One, get across the line! That's the first one, he said, before elaborating on his personal approach. Number 2 is...Really to...For me personally I like to finish a game earlier than later, a little bit sooner rather than later so I just try as much as possible, once I get into that situation, I try to finish it as early as I possibly can and if not, if it's still gets down the last over, try to get as small amount as possible in the last one. The conversation also turned to the teams young talent, including rising prospect Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Hetmyer emphasised a hands-off, supportive approach to mentoring emerging players.

I really haven't been able to say much to him because everyone has been chirping from last year to now.

IPL 2026: Rashid Leads GT In Gills Absence, Kushagra Earns Debut As RR Opt To Bat
Indian Premier League: Rashid Khan will be leading the Gujarat Titans in the absence of regular skipper Shubman Gill, who has been rested owing to a muscle spasm, as the Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat in the ninth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. GT will be desperate to open their account this season after falling just short in their opening outing against the Punjab Kings. Despite putting up a respectable 162/6 with the bat, they were unable to defend it, as the bowlers failed to hold their nerves in the closing stages, allowing Punjab to chase down the target with five deliveries to spare. RR, meanwhile, come into the contest brimming with confidence following a commanding victory over Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. Delivering a complete performance, they bundled out CSK for just 127 before wrapping up the chase with ease inside 13 overs. Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger led the charge with the ball, while young Vaibhav Suryavanshi caught the eye with an explosive fifty. Looking at past encounters, GT have generally enjoyed the upper hand in this rivalry, winning six of the eight matches played between the two teams. RR have managed two victories, including their most recent meeting in April 2025. Notably, the Titans also came out on top when the two sides first faced off in April 2022, making this an interesting contest to watch. Winning the toss, RR skipper Riyan Parag said, We are going to be batting first. We have to assess and adapt to different conditions. Hopefully, we will put up a good score around 210 and defend it later on. We want to be a team that can play in all conditions. I want it to be a team that is flexible. We don't want to play one brand of cricket. We don't want to be a team that only scores or bowls for 200 runs or 250 runs. I think, like I said, I want us to assess the pitch, play through all conditions that the IPL offers to us, and be good at it. So I think that's the message. Two changes. Tushar Deshpande comes in for Brijesh, and Shubham Dubey comes in for Bishnoi. Meanwhile, GTs stand-in captain Rashid Khan said, We wanted to bowl first as well. Fresh wicket and I feel like there will be some help for the bowlers initially, but we are quite happy with the toss so far. Gill has got a bit of a muscle spasm, hopefully he will be back soon. KK (Kumar Kushagra) is playing his first game and look forward to seeing him play. I think we played good cricket (in the last game). I feel that in the last game as well, it was a very close game, but there were some areas we need to improve our bowling, and also with the batting. And we spoke a lot about that in the meetings, and we just need to bring our A-game here and give our 100%. So I feel like we did really well in the last game as well, but we take the positive things from that and we keep improving our skills in our game.
