IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch GT Vs SRH, Know All Details
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans will look to continue their strong winning momentum when they host Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 56 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams head into the contest in impressive form, making the encounter a crucial battle in the race for playoff positions. Gujarat Titans currently occupy third place on the points table with seven wins from 11 matches and arrive on the back of four consecutive victories. Their latest triumph came in dominant fashion against the Rajasthan Royals, whom they defeated by 77 runs in Jaipur. Led by Shubman Gill, the Titans have found consistency at a critical stage of the tournament, with both their batting and bowling units clicking together during the winning run. Playing at home will further boost their confidence as they aim to strengthen their position in the top four. Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, have emerged as one of the form teams of the season after recovering strongly from a difficult start. After losing three of their opening four matches, the side led by Pat Cummins has staged a remarkable turnaround, winning six of their last seven games to climb to second place in the standings, just behind Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The clash also brings together two sides with contrasting head-to-head numbers. Gujarat Titans have largely dominated the rivalry since both teams first met in 2022, winning five of their seven encounters against Hyderabad. Sunrisers have managed just one victory, while one match ended without a result. Their most recent meeting, played in May last year, ended in a Gujarat Titans victory, and the hosts will once again look to make home advantage count in what promises to be one of the key contests of the league stage.

NC opposed to alcohol consumption, PDP should recall its own stand: Tanvir Sadiq
Budgam, May 11: National Conference chief spokesperson and Zadibal MLA Tanvir Sadiq on Monday hit back at PDP leader Iltija Mufti over her remarks on a liquor ban, saying those raising the demand should first recall their own party's past position on alcohol consumption. In Budgam, Sadiq referred to statements made by the PDP's former Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu in the Assembly that alcohol would not be banned during the previous PDP-led government. Those speaking about a liquor ban today are the same people whose Finance Minister had categorically stated in the Assembly that alcohol would not be banned. Some of their leaders have themselves spoken casually about drinking, and now they are trying to lecture others, he said. Sadiq reiterated that no Muslim supports alcohol consumption and said the National Conference stands firmly against drinking in any form. We are Muslims, and no Muslim supports alcohol consumption. The National Conference is completely opposed to drinking and to encouraging it in any manner. We do not want alcohol to be consumed here, he added. His remarks came after Iltija Mufti questioned Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over the issue, stating that if states like Bihar and Gujarat could impose a liquor ban, the same could be considered in Jammu and Kashmir. She also said that no religion promotes alcohol consumption(KNO)

BCCI Cricket Advisory Committee: Former India cricketer and BCCI Cricket Advisory Committee member Jatin Paranjape has revealed that Punjab Kings batting all-rounder Suryansh Shedge underwent extensive work on pressure simulation and shot selection at his Mumbai academy, adding that it has been encouraging to see his hard work translate into good performances in IPL 2026.

Suryansh has been someone who often bats and bowls in critical situations across both red-ball and white-ball cricket. Understanding the demands of those roles, along with developing the range of shots required for different match situations, has been a key area of focus for us. We worked extensively on simulating pressure scenarios, improving decision-making, and applying the right shot selection based on the situation.

If it's wrong to impose liquor ban on Hindus, how did Gujarat and Bihar do it: Iltija to J-K CM
Srinagar, May 11: Peoples Democratic Party leader Iltija Mufti on Monday said Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's refusal to ban alcohol in Jammu and Kashmir because Hindus are permitted to drink liquor was illogical. J-K CM's expected U-turn on the refusal to prohibit liquor shops lacks logic. He claims it is wrong to impose a ban on Hindus consuming alcohol since their religion does not forbid it. If this is the case, how have Hindu majority states like Gujarat and Bihar banned alcohol successfully without a whimper? Mufti asked on X. She was commenting on Abdullah's statement on Sunday that liquor shops were to serve people of those faiths in which the consumption of alcohol was not forbidden. We are proud of J-K's secular credentials, but deeply unfortunate and insensitive for its chief minister to dismiss religious sensibilities of the majority with such indifference, she added. While interacting with reporters in Ganderbal on Sunday, Abdullah was asked about the demand for an alcohol ban in Jammu and Kashmir. The chief minister replied that his government was not forcing anyone to drink. Is anyone forcing them to drink? You are going to (a wine) shop on your own will. Why are you going there? We are not dragging you there. We are not advertising it, he had said.

IPL 2026: I Just Wanted To Bat According To The Situation And The Ball, Says Urvil On 13-ball Fifty
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings top-order batter Urvil Patel said he kept his approach simple while blazing his way to a recordequalling 13ball halfcentury against Lucknow Super Giants in the sides five-wicket win in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Urvils knock of 65 off 23 balls, studded with eight sixes and two fours, set the tone for CSKs successful chase of 204 and lifted them to fifth spot on the points table. He now shares the record for IPLs fastest fifty with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who claimed the record on his way to making 98 not out against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. With chants of Urvil! Urvil! reverberating in the electrified stands at Chepauk, Urvil Patel pulled off a touching gesture by taking out a note from his pocket that read, This is for you, Dad, along with some lines in Gujarati. His knock also helped CSK pull off a chase above 180 for the first time since 2019. There was nothing in my mind, but I just wanted to bat according to the situation and the ball. The coach just told me to maintain a stable base and then hit; I did the same. Rutu said the wicket was low and to be ready for it. He didn't tell me much; he just let me play my game, Urvil said after the match ended. Player of the Match Jamie Overton, who picked 3-36, including a blistering Josh Inglis, and caused LSG's innings to slow down, said discipline was key to his performance. It felt good. A bit tight at the end. Nice to get over the line and get another two points. I think it was just doing what I've been doing well. Just keep hitting the top of the stumps and trying to make them hit good balls off the top of the stumps. Nice to get a sort of strangle from the leg-side. Nice to get a couple of wickets and obviously to get Josh out at that point was crucial, he said. He credited his work with CSK bowling coach Eric Simons for refining his action and adapting to Indian conditions. All the time I work with Eric (Simons) - for me, my action, I did it a couple of times today, where I fall off and bowl a couple down the leg side. That's just sort of how I do things. It's definitely been a big work since coming this year. Even in the World Cup, it's just trying to clean up everything. I think working out how to bowl over in India is very different from bowling everywhere else in the world, he said.

IPL 2026: Overton, Urvil Help CSK Register Third Straight Win, Move To Fifth Spot (ld)
Chennai Super Kings: Urvil Patel hammered a breath-taking 65, including hitting the joint fastest fifty in Indian Premier League (IPL) history in just 13 balls, as Chennai Super Kings defeated Lucknow Super Giants by five wickets to notch their third successive win in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Sundays game also marked the first instance since 2019 that CSK successfully chased a target in excess of 180, as they moved to fifth spot in the IPL 2026 points table and pushed LSG towards elimination from the competition. Inserted into batting first on a red-soil pitch, LSG rode on Josh Ingliss blistering 85 off just 33 balls to pile up 91 runs in the Power-play before CSK bowlers, led by Jamie Overtons 3-36, pulled things back to restrict them to 203/8. In reply, CSKs chase began briskly with Sanju Samson and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad adding quick runs at the top. But once Samson fell to Digvesh Rathi, Urvil turned the contest on its head with a ferocious ball-striking assault to get his fifty in 13 balls, as CSK stormed to 97 in their own powerplay. By hitting the fastest fifty hit by a CSK batter, also his maiden IPL half-century, Urvil also equalled Yashasvi Jaiswals record for the fastest fifty in IPL history, coming in the 2023 season, and eventually finished with 65 off 23 balls, including eight sixes and two fours, coming at a strike-rate of 282.61. By the time Urvil departed after being dropped on 62 by Rathi, the rest of CSKs chase was seemingly a straightforward one. But LSG clawed back through Shahbaz Ahmeds double strike and Rathis dismissal of Dewald Brevis. By the time Avesh Khan removed Kartik Sharma, LSG tightened the equation and raised hopes of a turnaround. But Prashant Veer (18 not out) and Shivam Dube (15 not out) hung around to complete the chase with four balls to spare, including the latter hitting consecutive sixes. It also helped that LSGs fielding let them down, as two catches of Veer were grassed under pressure by Rathi and Nicholas Pooran. CSKs uphill chase began with intent as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson hit eight boundaries collectively in 3.3 overs. But Rathi had Samson dismissed when he tried to pull off a quicker delivery, and was left to see his stumps being castled. His fall brought Urvil to the crease, and for the next few minutes, 32,000 odd fans at Chepauk were left spellbound. Walking in after Samsons dismissal, Urvil tore into the LSG attack with his quick pick-up of lengths and timing his maximums with impeccable power. Urvil quickly launched Avesh Khan for three sixes in the fifth over, before smacking Rathi for three maximums and a four. The highlight of his stay at the crease came when Urvil launched Mohammed Shami for his seventh maximum over long-on to be at 48 off 11 balls. Though he managed only a single on the next ball, Urvil reached his first IPL fifty in just 13 balls, with chants of Urvil! Urvil! reverberating in the electrified stands. In a touching gesture, Urvil pulled out a note from his pocket that read, This is for you, Dad, along with some lines in Gujarati, even as the CSK dugout was full of joy. Urvils explosive start also helped CSK reclaim the record for the highest powerplay score at Chepauk via 97/1, surpassing LSGs 91 earlier in the day. Though Urvils blitzkrieg was brought to an end by a slower delivery from Shahbaz Ahmed in the tenth over, he had set the tone for a memorable evening for CSK at Chepauk. But after that, LSG fought back through the middle overs, with Shahbaz and Digvesh striking crucial blows to remove Gaikwad and Dewald Brevis. Kartik Sharma chipped in with 20 before Avesh dismissed him, leaving CSK at 169/5 in the 17th over. With the equation tightening, nervousness was felt in Chepauk, but Veer brought the nerves down by flicking Prince Yadav for six, before hitting another maximum off Avesh, apart from being dropped twice on nine. With 10 needed off the final over, Aiden Markram was handed the ball, and after two wides, Dube finished the job in style by smashing back-to-back sixes to seal victory and strengthen CSKs hopes of entering the playoffs. Previously, Inglis dominated the powerplay for LSG with a flurry of strokes, leading to ten fours and six maximums coming off his blade. But LSGs momentum dipped once the field spread, as CSKs bowlers clawed their way back. Overtons three-fer and Noor Ahmad further kept the scoring rate in check. Despite the slowdown in the middle overs, Shahbazs late cameo of 43 not out off 25 balls, capped by a six off the final delivery, lifted LSG past the 200-run mark. Inglis set the tone from the opening over, as he lofted, swept, and hammered Akeal Hosein for two fours and a six. Inglis continued to smash boundaries at will, with reverse scoops and pulls being the standout. Though Mitchell Marsh fell cheaply to Anshul Kamboj, Inglis raced to a 17-ball half-century and gave LSG their highest powerplay score of the season. After Noor had Nicholas Pooran slog-sweeping to deep mid-wicket, Inglis eventually fell for 85 off 33 balls, caught by Sanju Samson while trying to paddle off Overton, who had Rishabh Pant chopping onto his stumps in the same over. Markrams run-out and Akshat Raghuwanshis departure off Overton further added to LSGs slide, as from 91/1, they slipped to 154/6. But Shahbaz and Himmat Singh joined forces to steady LSGs innings. Shahbaz, in particular, counter-attacked with inventive strokes, striking boundaries off Overton and Mukesh Choudhary. Though Kamboj castled Himmat to bring the 50-run stand to an end and Mohammed Shami was run out for a duck, Shahbaz launched the last ball of the innings over long-on for six to take LSG past 200, which proved inadequate against a rampaging Urvil. After Noor had Nicholas Pooran slog-sweeping to deep mid-wicket, Inglis eventually fell for 85 off 33 balls, caught by Sanju Samson while trying to paddle off Overton, who had Rishabh Pant chopping onto his stumps in the same over.

In a touching gesture, Urvil pulled out a note from his pocket that read, This is for you, Dad, along with some lines in Gujarati, even as the CSK dugout was full of joy. Urvils explosive start also helped CSK reclaim the record for the highest powerplay score at Chepauk via 97/1, surpassing LSGs 91 earlier in the day. Though Urvils blitzkrieg was brought to an end by a slower delivery from Shahbaz Ahmed in the tenth over, he had set the tone for a memorable evening for CSK at Chepauk. But after that, LSG fought back through the middle overs, with Shahbaz and Digvesh striking crucial blows to remove Gaikwad and Dewald Brevis. Kartik Sharma chipped in with 20 before Avesh dismissed him, leaving CSK at 169/5 in the 17th over. With the equation tightening, nervousness was felt in Chepauk, but Veer brought the nerves down by flicking Prince Yadav for six, before hitting another maximum off Avesh, apart from being dropped twice on nine. With 10 needed off the final over, Aiden Markram was handed the ball, and after two wides, Dube finished the job in style by smashing back-to-back sixes to seal victory and strengthen CSKs hopes of entering the playoffs. But after that, LSG fought back through the middle overs, with Shahbaz and Digvesh striking crucial blows to remove Gaikwad and Dewald Brevis.

IPL 2026: Tim David Backs RCB To Trust Strengths, Regain Momentum Despite Back-to-back Losses
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Tim David backed the side to stay committed to its strengths despite suffering consecutive defeats, saying the team remains focused on regaining momentum as they take on the Mumbai Indians in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash here on Sunday. RCB won the toss and elected to bowl first against MI at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, the venue thats serving as the franchises new home venue for the remainder of the season. The Rajat Patidar-led side enters the contest after losses to the Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants, which led to the defending champions slipping to fourth place in the standings. Speaking ahead of the match, David said the team had reflected on the recent setbacks but stressed the importance of trusting the methods that brought success earlier in the tournament. You can obviously identify shortcomings from the games, but of course, you've got to back your strengths. That's what's put us in the position of playing so well so far this season. So try and go on with a clear mind and enjoy the match, the Australian told the broadcasters ahead of the toss. The Australian batter, who has often been deployed as a finisher for RCB this season, also spoke about his preparation for high-pressure batting roles and admitted the team had limited time to assess conditions in Raipur due to rain interruptions. We had good preparation coming into this game. We hopped on a flight, and it rained all of yesterday. So a couple of unknowns going into today, but yeah, like you say, just try and be clear-minded and enjoy the game and get into a contest with the opposition, he said. David also shared his thoughts on the dimensions of the Raipur venue, joking about wanting to measure the boundaries before play began, stating, As I was walking out here, I thought I'd forgotten my golf range finder. I was going to try and give it a little zap. But the boys are talking about it being a bigger ground here. I've played here once, and I remember guys hitting into the grandstand. So, you know, if it comes out of the middle of the bat and you watch the ball closely, it's not an issue. If you start miss-hitting, then that's when it becomes an issue. With RCB still strongly placed in the race for the playoffs despite their recent slump, David said the experienced squad understands the importance of remaining focused on controllable factors rather than getting distracted by the points table. David also shared his thoughts on the dimensions of the Raipur venue, joking about wanting to measure the boundaries before play began, stating, As I was walking out here, I thought I'd forgotten my golf range finder.

'Almost Every Delivery Was Hitting The Stumps': Dasgupta Praises Rashid's Masterclass Vs RR
Indian Premier League: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta believes Rashid Khan rediscovered his trademark attacking rhythm and bowled stump-targeted deliveries during the Gujarat Titans emphatic 77-run victory over Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Rashid produced a decisive spell of 4-33 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday as Gujarat bowled Rajasthan out for 152 in 16.3 overs after posting a commanding 229/4. The Afghanistan leg-spinner triggered Rajasthans collapse by dismissing Dhruv Jurel and Donovan Ferreira in quick succession before removing Shubham Dubey and Ravindra Jadeja to finish with four wickets. Analysing Rashids spell, Dasgupta highlighted the spinners relentless accuracy and attacking line towards the stumps. Let's see the Shubham Dubey wicket, bowled from over the wicket to a left-hand batter. If he gets the ball to turn from outside off stump or off stump and hits middle or off, that's a really good delivery, Dasgupta told ESPNCricinfo. It was the old, vintage Rashid today. If you remember when Rashid was at his best, almost every delivery was hitting the stumps, he added. Dasgupta pointed out that three of Rashids wickets were bowled dismissals while another came through lbw, underlining how consistently he targeted the stumps throughout the innings. Today, if you look at his four wickets, three bowled, one leg before, and if you look at his beehive, you'll find a very high percentage of those deliveries were hitting the stumps, he added. According to Dasgupta, Rashid becomes particularly dangerous against left-handed batters when he bowls over the wicket and attacks the stumps with his skidding leg-breaks. Today, if you look at his four wickets, three bowled, one leg before, and if you look at his beehive, you'll find a very high percentage of those deliveries were hitting the stumps, he added.

'Shubman Gill Is One Of The Most Pleasing Batters To Watch': Anil Kumble
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Former India spinner Anil Kumble praised skipper Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan for their match-winning performances in Gujarat Titans commanding 77-run victory over Rajasthan Royals on Saturday describing Gill as one of the most elegant batters in modern cricket and highlighting Rashids return to bowling with greater pace. Gill once again led Gujarats batting effort with a composed 84 as the visitors posted a massive 229/4 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Rashid then dismantled Rajasthans chase with a superb spell of 4-33 as the hosts were bowled out for 152 in 16.3 overs. Speaking after the match, Kumble hailed Gills ability to combine control with consistency at the top of the order. Shubman Gill is one of the most pleasing batters to watch in modern cricket. There is nothing overly flashy about his game. He relies on playing each ball on its merit. Even when he goes for big shots, he remains in complete cpntrol. That is what separates him from many power hitters, Kumble told Jio Hotstar. Kumble added that Gills greatest strength lies in his ability to convert starts into substantial innings, something that allows Gujarat to consistently post imposing totals. The best part of his batting is his ability to bat deep. Once he is set, he takes the game deep and converts starts into long, impactful innings. When your top-order batter does that, it puts the team in a very strong position. It becomes much easier to push the total past 200. That is exactly what we saw from Shubman Gill against Rajasthan Royals, he added. Kumble also analysed Rashids bowling performance in detail, saying the Afghanistan spinner looked far more threatening because of his increased pace through the air. Rashid Khan attacked the stumps relentlessly and executed his plans to perfection. Hes a bowler who loves bowling quicker through the air but last season and even in the first half of this IPL season, he had reduced his pace, and that affected his effectiveness. Against RR, however, his pace was spot on, Kumble said. Kumble also analysed Rashids bowling performance in detail, saying the Afghanistan spinner looked far more threatening because of his increased pace through the air. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He beat most of the batters with pure speed rather than relying on flight or turn. Most spinners deceive batters by looping the ball in the air. Rashid does it by rushing them with extra pace. That has always been his strength. When he bowls those quicker, skidding deliveries that go away from the batter, it creates confusion and often leads to mistakes, he added. Article Source: IANS

'Bowlers Have To Develop Their Range Of Skills': RR Bowling Coach Bond After Heavy Loss
Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals (RR) bowling coach Shane Bond admitted his sides bowlers must evolve and think outside the box after another disappointing performance with the ball during their 77-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Rajasthan endured yet another difficult outing at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday as Gujarat piled up 229/4 before bowling the hosts out for 152 in 16.3 overs. It marked the fourth consecutive match in which Rajasthan conceded more than 200 runs, highlighting their ongoing struggles with the ball. Speaking after the game, Bond expressed frustration over his sides inability to adapt under pressure. We just haven't played well enough in conditions that we know. We've been outplayed by our opposition, Bond said in the post-match press conference. I look at bowlers, they just have to be better, right? You've got to think a bit outside the box. There are two things: decision-making and execution. I think tonight, you would have probably noticed that execution just wasn't consistent enough for long enough, he added. Bond also pointed to the rapidly evolving nature of T20 batting, saying bowlers must continue developing new skills to survive in modern cricket. The batsmen, they're coming out, they're playing ultra-aggressive, and putting pressure on bowlers. So as a bowler, you've got to ask, well, what can I do differently? he said. They have got to spend more time with the analysts knowing exactly where each batsman's going to score at. I may have to bowl off a shorter run and a longer run. I've got to be able to come around the wicket and bowl on both sides, he added. The former New Zealand fast bowler added that repeating the same methods while expecting different results was no longer sustainable in the IPL. When you see the bowlers are doing the same thing, game after game after game, getting the same result, then my question would be: you've got to be doing something different and developing your game, Bond said. You look at batsmen now, they're playing the uppercut, they're reversing, they're scooping. They've developed a range of shots. So a bowler has to develop their range of skills as well. Bond, however, believes the current high-scoring era also presents a major opportunity for bowlers willing to innovate and improve. I think it's a great opportunity for any bowler to go: if I can do that, then I can elevate myself into a lot of money and be a superstar. I just don't think you've consistently seen that across the board, he added. Bond, however, believes the current high-scoring era also presents a major opportunity for bowlers willing to innovate and improve.

'Holders Inclusion At The Right Time Has Turned Things Around For GT': Parthiv Patel
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans (GT) assistant coach Parthiv Patel has revealed that the franchise made signing Jason Holder a top priority during the auction, crediting the experienced all-rounders arrival for helping transform the teams balance and performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Holder once again played an important role during Gujarats dominant 77-run victory over Rajasthan Royals at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, finishing with impressive figures of 3-12 as Gujarat bowled Rajasthan out for 152 in 16.3 overs after posting 229/4. Speaking after the match, Parthiv explained how highly Gujarat valued Holder during the auction planning process. When we were planning for the auction, we were okay with not getting any other player, but we were determined to get Jason Holder. We have seen how he has performed over the last 12 to 18 months in T20 cricket around the world. He is an experienced player and also brings leadership qualities with him,Parthiv told Jio Hotstar. Parthiv also revealed that Gujarat initially intended to utilise Glenn Phillips because of his strong form, but Holders eventual inclusion proved crucial for the side. We wanted to utilise Glenn Phillips form at the start, but unfortunately, that didnt happen. However, the inclusion of Holder at the right time has turned things around for us, he added. Parthiv also highlighted Gujarats extensive use of match-simulation sessions during practice, especially for middle-order batters who may not always spend enough time in the middle during games. Most of the conversations with the batters are about scenarios where the opposition bowlers could potentially target them and the kind of fields they could set for a particular batter, he said. We practise a lot, especially with the middle order, because they dont always get enough time in matches. We have our B ground, where we try to prepare them as much as possible by putting them in match scenarios, he added. Most of the conversations with the batters are about scenarios where the opposition bowlers could potentially target them and the kind of fields they could set for a particular batter, he said.

'I Wouldnt Mind Watching Him In All Three Formats': Ashwin Hails Sooryavanshi's Approach
Indian Premier League: Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has the talent to succeed across all formats of the game after the Rajasthan Royals opener continued his fearless run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Speaking about Sooryavanshis explosive innings against the Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, Ashwin said the 15-year-old possesses the kind of attacking ability that can entertain crowds in every format. He is taking every bowler down. I wouldnt mind watching him in a Test match, and I wouldnt mind watching him in all three formats of the game. Get him onto cricket grounds, get people coming along, because he is going to entertain you, Ashwin told Jio Hotstar. Sooryavanshi once again provided Rajasthan Royals with a flying start in a daunting chase of 230, smashing 36 off just 16 balls with three fours and three sixes. The teenager attacked experienced pacers Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada fearlessly during a breathtaking powerplay that briefly kept Rajasthan in the hunt. However, Gujarat recovered strongly through their spinners, with Rashid Khan starring with 4-33 as Rajasthan collapsed to 152 all out in 16.3 overs to lose by 77 runs. Ashwin also described Sooryavanshi as a box-office player and urged people not to burden the youngster with excessive expectations at this early stage of his career. He is leaving no stone unturned, putting every ounce of force he can into the cricket ball. The way he played, even in the U-19 World Cup final, putting everything together, he is looking like a box-office player, Ashwin said. There are very few windows in your cricketing career where you can absolutely enjoy your cricket, and he is only 15 years old. I think we should just let him be. There is no point asking him to do things he shouldnt be doing at this stage of his career, he added. Ashwin feels that Rajasthan already have experienced names like Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, and Donovan Ferreira in the middle order, allowing Sooryavanshi the freedom to continue playing attacking cricket at the top. There are very few windows in your cricketing career where you can absolutely enjoy your cricket, and he is only 15 years old. I think we should just let him be.

IPL 2026: Jaiswal Says Team Must learn From This Game After RRs Loss To GT
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Rajasthan Royals stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal backed his struggling bowling unit and refused to single out individuals after the side slumped to a crushing 77-run defeat against the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Rajasthan were completely outplayed after Gujarat piled up 229/4 on the back of a dominant opening partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill before Rashid Khan ripped through the chase with a four-wicket haul. Reflecting on how difficult it became once Gujarats openers settled in, Jaiswal admitted Rajasthan struggled to contain the flow of boundaries. We were just thinking to bowl in good areas and they were batting pretty well. So we were just thinking how we can cut down the boundaries or big shots. So I think it was pretty good from them, Jaiswal said after the match. The Royals were under pressure from the outset, as Sudharsan and Gill attacked aggressively during the powerplay and maintained momentum through the middle overs. Rajasthans pace attack, including Jofra Archer, failed to build pressure consistently on a batting-friendly Jaipur surface. Archer, who has been among Rajasthans key bowlers this season, endured a rare off day and went wicketless while conceding heavily. However, Jaiswal firmly defended the England quick and said poor outings are part of the game. Its cricket. We all know that theres some days where you are in, theres some days where you cannot bowl how you want. But hes been doing so well for us, I think. So I think hell be coming back very strongly, he said. Rajasthans bowling combination had also drawn attention before the match after the franchise opted to leave out left-arm pacer Nandre Burger. Asked whether that was a difficult selection decision, Jaiswal said the management simply focused on the bowling plans for the powerplay. I actually didnt think that much. I had simple plan who is my bowler and who can give me some good overs in the powerplay. So nothing much from my end, Jaiswal stated. Despite the heavy defeat, Rajasthan briefly threatened to pull off a remarkable chase after teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi blasted 36 off 16 balls and Dhruv Jurel smashed 24 off 10 deliveries in a fiery powerplay. The hosts raced to 78/3 in six overs before Gujarats spin attack turned the game completely. Rashid dismissed Jurel and later removed Ravindra Jadeja and others as Rajasthan collapsed from a promising position to 152 all out in 16.3 overs.

The foundation for Gujarats emphatic victory was laid by Sudharsan and Gill, who once again showcased why they have become one of the most dependable opening pairs of the season. Batting on a fresh Jaipur surface that initially offered true bounce and pace, the duo attacked aggressively from the outset and denied Rajasthan any control with the new ball. Jofra Archer and Tushar Deshpande struggled for rhythm early, while the Gujarat openers capitalised ruthlessly whenever width or length was offered. Sudharsan was particularly fluent square of the wicket, whereas Gill mixed timing with placement in another composed captains knock. The pair ensured Gujarat dominated the powerplay before accelerating further through the middle overs. Rajasthan briefly regained some control after Sudharsans dismissal, but Gujarats finishing surge ensured the innings never lost momentum as they crossed the 225-run mark comfortably. Chasing 230, Rajasthan responded with astonishing aggression. Teenage opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lit up Jaipur immediately by launching Mohammed Siraj for a six in the opening over and continued his fearless assault against Kagiso Rabada. The left-hander played outrageous attacking strokes on both sides of the wicket, racing to 36 off just 16 deliveries with three fours and three sixes. Even after Yashasvi Jaiswal miscued a pull to depart for just three runs, Rajasthan refused to slow down. Dhruv Jurel arrived with attacking intent and produced one of the most explosive passages of the chase when he hammered Siraj for 22 runs in the fifth over, including three towering sixes and a boundary. At 78/3 after six overs, despite the wickets of Sooryavanshi, Jaiswal and Shimron Hetmyer, Rajasthan still appeared firmly in the contest with the required rate manageable and momentum temporarily in their favour. That changed completely once Gujarat introduced spin. Sai Kishore immediately slowed the tempo with clever changes of pace and angles before Rashid Khan delivered the decisive blow. The Afghanistan leg-spinner removed the dangerous Jurel with a googly that sneaked under the bat and then struck again a couple of balls later by bowling Donovan Ferreira. From there, Rajasthans innings unravelled rapidly. Washington Sundar tightened the squeeze from one end while Rashid operated with increasing menace from the other. Shubham Dubey briefly counterattacked with a six over midwicket, but Rashid responded instantly by bowling him with a quicker delivery that turned sharply back in. Ravindra Jadeja attempted to keep Rajasthan alive with a spirited 38 off 25 balls, sweeping and pulling boundaries to briefly resist Gujarats charge. However, the asking rate kept climbing sharply as Gujarats spinners extracted grip and uneven pace from the ageing surface. Rashid eventually ended Jadejas resistance in the 14th over with a successful lbw review to complete his four-wicket haul and effectively finish the contest. By then, Rajasthan needed over 15 an over and had lost all momentum. Jason Holder then wrapped up the tail efficiently, dismissing Jofra Archer, Dasun Shanaka and Tushar Deshpande to seal a crushing victory with 21 balls to spare.
