IPL 2026: Sooryavnshi, Archer Power RR To Qualifier 2 With 47-run Victory Over SRH
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Teenage star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivered one of the best innings in Indian Premier League (IPL) knockout history before Jofra Archer tore through the top order as Rajasthan Royals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 47 runs in the Eliminator of IPL 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. With this win, the Rajasthan Royals advanced to Qualifier 2, where they will meet the Gujarat Titans. Sooryavanshi scored an incredible 97 off just 28 balls, leading RR to a total of 243 for 8. This score proved much too high for SRH, even though they launched a brave counterattack in their chase. The 15-year-old hit a 16-ball fifty, tying Suresh Rainas record for the fastest half-century in an IPL playoff. He also surpassed Chris Gayle for the most sixes in a T20 tournament. He missed out on Gayles record for the fastest IPL century by three runs when he top-edged Praful Hinge to deep third while on 97, but he had thoroughly disrupted SRHs bowling strategy. Pat Cummins started with defensive field placements and heavy yorkers, but Sooryavanshi's assault turned the Power-play into total chaos. RR raced to 63 without losing a wicket in four overs and reached 125 for 1 in just eight. Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled to 29 off 29 balls in what became one of the oddest supporting roles in T20 cricket. The momentum hardly slowed after Sooryavanshi's dismissal. Dhruv Jurel slammed a 20-ball fifty, dismantling Cummins with scoops, pulls, and straight hits as RR surged to 192 for 3 in 13.5 overs. Riyan Parag contributed 26, while late efforts from Donovan Ferreira and Ravindra Jadeja pushed RR past 240, despite a disciplined finish from Nitish Kumar Reddy. In pursuit of 244, SRH started in disarray. Archer struck on the second ball of the innings with a brutal short delivery, forcing Abhishek Sharma (0) to glove the ball to the keeper. However, SRH did not give up easily. Ishan Kishan unleashed 33 off 11 while Travis Head joined the early assault, helping SRH reach 51 for 1 in 2.4 overs in a thrilling exchange. Archer, however, changed the game entirely. Kishan (33) edged a catch to cover while attempting another aggressive shot, and soon after, Nandre Burger dismissed Ravichandran Smaran (1) with a hard-length delivery. Archer then bowled Head (17) with a 150kph delivery that hit the top of off stump. SRH fell to 57 for 4 in 4.4 overs, with Archer once again making a significant impact at a crucial stage of the tournament. Heinrich Klaasen (18) briefly raised hopes with an impressive six off legspinner Yash Raj Punja, but RR successfully reviewed his lbw after he missed a reverse sweep. SRH kept attacking with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Impact Player Salil Arora, whose 50-run partnership came off just 19 balls, but RR continued to take wickets. Jadeja dismissed Reddy for 38 off 20 by restricting his movement, while Pat Cummins (1) fell while trying to clear long-on, with Archer making a fine catch at the boundary. Arora continued his fightback and added 24 runs with Shivang Kumar, who then added 24 further with Eshan Malinga, but the fall of wickets continued for SRH as RR cruised to victory by 47 runs. Jofra Archer finished with the surreal figures of 4-0-58-3, expensive on paper, especially after even Shivang Kumar took him on in a 16-run 17th over - but the numbers barely captured his impact on the Eliminator. Archer struck with the second ball of the chase to remove Abhishek Sharma, then returned to dismiss the dangerous Ishan Kishan and blasted through Travis Head with a 150kph thunderbolt. Those three wickets at the top of the order ultimately tilted the match decisively in the Rajasthan Royals favour. Jadeja, Burger, and Sushant took two wickets each. Arora continued his fightback and added 24 runs with Shivang Kumar, who then added 24 further with Eshan Malinga, but the fall of wickets continued for SRH as RR cruised to victory by 47 runs.

ED Raids 17 Locations In Parimatch Betting Probe, Seizes Cash And Freezes Rs 3.8 Crore
Mumbai Zonal Office: The Directorate of Enforcement's (ED) Mumbai Zonal Office conducted searches at 17 locations across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi, Gujarat, Daman and Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), in connection with an ongoing probe into the Cyprus-based illegal online betting platform Parimatch. During the raids, the agency seized movable assets worth around Rs 1.56 crore, including cash amounting to nearly Rs 1.2 crore. The ED also froze approximately Rs 3.8 crore lying in various bank accounts. Several incriminating documents and digital devices were recovered during the search operations. The ED initiated the investigation on the basis of an FIR registered by the Cyber Police Station, Mumbai, against Parimatch.com for allegedly duping users through online betting operations. According to investigators, the platform lured investors with promises of high returns and is suspected to have generated more than Rs 3,000 crore in a year. The investigation has revealed that Parimatch and its associates allegedly operated through a complex network of mule accounts, payment intermediaries, and financial inclusion channels to collect, layer and transfer user funds. Officials said that in several instances, user withdrawals were processed without any direct outward payment from accounts controlled by the platform. Instead, deposits made by other users were routed directly into the withdrawing users bank accounts or UPI IDs in multiple tranches to conceal the money trail and avoid direct payment linkage. Investigators further found that user deposits and withdrawals were routed through multiple current accounts opened in the names of software, fintech, and technology-related entities, many of which were engaged in legitimate business activities. These accounts were allegedly used to collect user deposits and route payouts under the guise of vendor payments, business transactions and payment gateway services. The ED also uncovered the alleged misuse of Banking Correspondent (BC) networks, mobile money transfer agents, Grahak Seva Kendras, Cash Management Services (CMS), local kirana stores, and retail outlets for processing payouts and movement of funds linked to the platform. According to the probe, user funds were routed through retailers and Grahak Seva Kendras operating under BC networks. The funds were first transferred to retailers, who then passed them to BC agents. The BCs subsequently recharged retailer wallets, which were later used to make payouts to Parimatch users, thereby masking the actual source and trail of funds. The investigation further revealed that certain agents allegedly diverted cash received through CMS channels and adjusted it against RTGS transfers sourced from deposits made by Parimatch users. The cash was then allegedly transferred outside India through hawala channels. The ED said Parimatch aggressively promoted its betting platform through surrogate advertisements under the names Parimatch Sports and Parimatch News. Unlike several other betting platforms, Parimatch allegedly adopted a hyperlocal marketing strategy by sponsoring teams in local cricket leagues across more than 15 states, apart from hockey and football tournaments. The investigation further revealed that certain agents allegedly diverted cash received through CMS channels and adjusted it against RTGS transfers sourced from deposits made by Parimatch users. The cash was then allegedly transferred outside India through hawala channels. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The ED said it has so far frozen assets worth Rs 112 crore in the case.

RCB Made A Statement In The Knockout Game: Anil Kumble After Qualifier 1 Win
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Former India captain Anil Kumble praised Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for producing a statement performance after the defending champions crushed Gujarat Titans by 92 runs to enter their second consecutive IPL final on Tuesday. RCB delivered a complete all-round performance at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, posting a record-breaking 254/5 before bowling Gujarat Titans out for 162 in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2026. Kumble said scoring such a massive total in a playoff match highlighted the confidence and character within the RCB camp. After losing the toss, RCB put their best foot forward by posting a mammoth 254 on the board. Scoring that many runs is difficult in any game, but to do it in a playoff shows real character. The pitch was good for batting, but the batters still had to go out and execute, and they did that brilliantly, Kumble told Jio Hotstar. RCB captain Rajat Patidar led the charge with an unbeaten 93 off just 39 balls, while Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal also made important contributions at the top. Kumble felt the momentum had completely shifted in RCBs favour once the bowlers prevented Gujarat Titans from settling early in the chase. When RCB came out to bowl, they didnt allow GTs openers to settle. They bowled disciplined lines, kept pressure from both ends, and got the early breakthrough through Sai Sudharsans unfortunate dismissal. That wicket opened the door, and after that the bowlers completely controlled the game, Kumble explained. Jacob Duffy starred with three wickets, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rasikh Salam Dar, and Krunal Pandya picked up two wickets each as Gujarat collapsed to 51/5 inside the powerplay. Kumble described the performance as one of RCB's most complete displays this season. It was a clinical performance from start to finish. Batting, bowling, and fielding, everything clicked for RCB on the night. They didnt just win the game; they made a statement. That is exactly the kind of performance you need in a knockout match, He said. The former India spinner also reserved special praise for captain Rajat Patidar, saying big-match performances like this help leaders earn the trust and respect of the dressing room. A player earns the respect of his teammates when he performs in a big game, and Rajat Patidar has done exactly that, Kumble said. This first qualifier was massive because winning it gives you direct entry into the final, along with a few extra days to recover mentally and physically. That is a huge advantage, he added. Kumble further pointed out that RCBs success has come from collective contributions rather than dependence on a few star players. What stands out about RCB is that different players step up in different games. Every match, somebody new becomes the Man of the Match. Thats exactly what happened when they won the title last season, he said. Kumble further pointed out that RCBs success has come from collective contributions rather than dependence on a few star players.

IPL 2026: GT Becomes Predictable On Flat Pitches, Says Tom Moody After Qualifier 1 Defeat To RCB
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Former Australia cricketer and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) global director of cricket Tom Moody believes the Gujarat Titans bowling attack becomes predictable on flat batting surfaces, a weakness that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru exploited perfectly during their dominant win in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. RCB stormed into their second consecutive IPL final after posting a record-breaking 254/5 and then bowling Gujarat Titans out for 162 to secure a commanding 92-run victory at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Tuesday. Speaking after the match, Moody said Gujarats bowling attack thrives when conditions offer movement but struggles badly on surfaces where there is little assistance for fast bowlers. Their predictability is hurting them when the conditions are not to their liking, Moody said during ESPNcricinfos TimeOut show. He compared the Gujarat Titans bowling struggles to the Sunrisers Hyderabads batting problems on difficult pitches, saying both teams rely heavily on specific conditions to succeed. Its a bit like Sunrisers Hyderabad. When the surface starts doing a little bit, their batting line-up struggles. Gujarat are almost the bowling version of that, Moody explained. According to Moody, Gujarats pace attack, featuring Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada, becomes dangerous when there is seam movement or swing available, but on flat surfaces, they lack enough variation to trouble aggressive batting units. When theres movement in the pitch, Siraj and Rabada become extremely difficult to face because they hit those hard lengths and create problems both inside and outside the bat, he said. But on a very flat surface like this one, they become vulnerable because they dont have extreme change-ups, slower balls, or deception as their main strength, Moody added. RCBs batters attacked Gujarats bowling from the very beginning. Venkatesh Iyer, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal gave the innings early momentum before captain Rajat Patidar completely took the game away with a sensational unbeaten 93 off just 39 balls. Moody pointed out that Gujarat lacked bowlers with unpredictable, slower deliveries or variations that could force batters into mistakes on batting-friendly wickets. They dont really have those slower-ball specialists or bowlers with deceptive pace changes who can consistently create doubt in the batters mind on flat wickets, Moody said. Thats why on surfaces where the ball is not doing much, teams can line them up more comfortably, he added/ Moody pointed out that Gujarat lacked bowlers with unpredictable, slower deliveries or variations that could force batters into mistakes on batting-friendly wickets. They dont really have those slower-ball specialists or bowlers with deceptive pace changes who can consistently create doubt in the batters mind on flat wickets, Moody said.

In Big Games Teams Take The Back Foot Under But We Played Like Champions': DK
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Royal Challengers Bengaluru mentor and batting coach Dinesh Karthik praised the teams strong body language and said his side played like champions after RCB produced a dominant all-round display to defeat the Gujarat Titans by 92 runs and reach their second consecutive IPL final on Tuesday. Speaking inside the dressing room after the emphatic Qualifier 1 victory at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Karthik praised the teams fearless approach and attacking mindset throughout the contest.

This was a clinical effort, a professional effort, Karthik told the players after the match. A one-versus-two playoff game is always a big game, but we played like champions, and I think we can make it happen that day, he added, referring to the upcoming IPL 2026 final in Ahmedabad. Karthik highlighted the aggressive intent shown by the RCB batting line-up from the beginning of the innings, saying the team never allowed the Gujarat Titans to settle into the game. The intent from the boys right from the start was outstanding. It started with Venky, Virat, and Dev. As a collective, we maintained the tempo throughout, he said. In big games, sometimes teams take the back foot under pressure. But we made sure we kept pushing forward, he added. RCB captain Rajat Patidar led the charge with a breathtaking unbeaten 93 off just 39 balls, and Karthik singled him out for special praise during his dressing-room speech. Rajats innings was incredible. He led from the front in a pressure game and completely took the bowlers apart, Karthik said. The former India wicketkeeper also credited Virat Kohli for setting the tone before the match with his emphasis on body language and intensity. Virat spoke before the game about making sure our body language stayed strong, and I think it was as good as it has been in the last several weeks. We had the attitude to get them out, and honestly, we almost sealed the game in the power play itself.

Patidar Has Worked Incredibly Hard With Karthik And Flower: Bobat
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Royal Challengers Bengaluru director of cricket Mo Bobat credited Rajat Patidars hard work with batting coach Dinesh Karthik and head coach Andy Flower after the RCB captain produced a stunning unbeaten 93 to help the defending champions reach their second consecutive IPL final. Patidars explosive knock powered RCB to a record-breaking 254/5 against Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 before the bowlers completed a dominant 92-run victory at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Tuesday. Hes worked incredibly hard on his game with both DK (Dinesh Karthik) and Andy Flower, Bobat said in the post-match press conference. One thing about Rajat is that he middles the ball a lot. Whether its pace or spin, front foot or back foot, the ball often hits the middle of his bat. Thats usually a very good sign. He has really strong basics and a fearless intent. Over the last couple of years, weve tried hard to make that the identity of our team, he added. Bobat praised Patidars growth as a batter over the last two seasons and revealed how much effort the captain has put into improving every aspect of his game. Hes certainly batting brilliantly right now and has done so throughout the competition. That was a really special knock today, and Im sure hell be very pleased to have stood up in such a big qualifier. Any team whose captain is playing well gets greater confidence from that, he said. Bobat said Patidars aggressive approach and fearless intent have become an important part of RCBs batting identity this season. Were becoming accustomed to seeing these sorts of knocks from him now. He played some outrageous shots, but it was also the aggressive intent that stood out. Thats leading by example, he said. Bobat was especially impressed with Patidars ability to manage the innings smartly under pressure. After RCB lost quick wickets in the middle overs, the captain briefly rebuilt the innings before launching another brutal attack in the death overs. One of the things hes done really well this year is picking his moments. Today was similar.

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) director of cricket Mo Bobat credited the franchises collective team effort and shared responsibility for RCB sealing their place in a second consecutive IPL final with a dominant 92-run win over Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. RCB delivered a complete performance at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, posting a record 254/5 before bowling Gujarat Titans out for 162. Captain Rajat Patidar led the charge with an unbeaten 93, while several other players contributed with both bat and ball. Speaking after the match, Bobat said RCBs biggest strength this season has been the ability of different players to step up in important moments rather than depending on only one or two individuals. Im especially pleased that weve got a number of people contributing to wins. When people say things like complete team, thats probably what Id reference. We are not too dependent on one or two players with the bat or the ball. Weve had a number of guys stand up, and you need that to go far in competitions, Bobat said in the post-match press conference. Bobat pointed out that RCBs strong team identity was also visible during their successful title-winning run last season and believes the squad has continued to build on that culture in IPL 2026. If I look at today, regardless of the result, everybody who had a chance to impact the game and put pressure on the opposition was able to do that. Thats what we focus on, how we play our cricket. If everybody contributes and fulfils their roles, the results should take care of themselves, he added. RCBs batting performance against Gujarat perfectly reflected that approach.

IPL 2026: It Was A Good Toss To Lose, Knew It Wouldnt Be Easy For GT To Win, Says Bhuvneshwar
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar credited Royal Challengers Bengalurus tactical clarity and bowling discipline, stating that he and his teammates believed that it was a good toss to lose, as the defending champions stormed into their second successive IPL final with a crushing 92-run victory over Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 at Dharamshala. RCB piled up a record playoff total of 254/5, powered by captain Rajat Patidars unbeaten 93 off 39 balls, before bowling Gujarat out for 162 to seal a dominant win on Tuesday. Interestingly, Bhuvneshwar revealed that several RCB players actually viewed losing the toss as an advantage on what appeared to be a batting-friendly surface at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium. Generally, if you lose the toss on a ground like this, the morale can be down because it's a good batting wicket, the ball travels and the dew is a factor here. But after the toss, there were four to five players, including me, who thought it was a good toss to lose because on a flat wicket like this, if you put up a big score, the opposition will have to bat really well to chase it down. And with the way we have been bowling and executing, we knew it wouldn't be easy for them, Bhuvneshwar told JioStar. That confidence quickly translated onto the field. RCBs bowlers dismantled Gujarats chase with relentless accuracy after the batting unit had already seized control of the contest. Bhuvneshwar himself removed Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill cheaply before later ending Rahul Tewatias resistance with a slower ball. The experienced pacer also shed light on one of RCBs major bowling strategies this season, the extensive use of scramble seam deliveries. According to Bhuvneshwar, the approach has been a carefully calculated response to modern batting conditions rather than a random variation. We've used the scramble seam a lot, looking at the wickets and conditions, and it's not just me, Josh Hazlewood, Duffy, all of them have done it. When GT bowled, we saw that there wasn't much swing there. A lot of planning goes into it, when to use it, it's not random, and it depends on how the wicket is behaving. When there's a bit of seam or swing in the first six, I try to extract that and try something that will be difficult for batters to hit. So, it's about being proactive, like batters are these days. If it's a slow wicket, where the ball might stop on the surface, I may use the knuckle ball sometimes, but mostly it's the scramble seam, considering the wicket and conditions, the pacer added. RCBs bowling attack once again justified that planning against Gujarat, with Jacob Duffy leading the charge with three wickets, while Bhuvneshwar, Rasikh Salam and Krunal Pandya chipped in with two wickets each. Bhuvneshwar also reserved special praise for captain Patidar, highlighting the calm leadership style that has helped RCB thrive this season despite the presence of several senior players in the dressing room. Rajat is a very simple human being off the field as well. When you become a captain, I can understand, it was his first season and there were many senior players in the dressing room, so he didn't interfere much. But he is so mature, he knows when to say something, where to give suggestions and when to let the bowlers do their thing. Bhuvneshwar also reserved special praise for captain Patidar, highlighting the calm leadership style that has helped RCB thrive this season despite the presence of several senior players in the dressing room.

IPL 2026: 'We Showed The Right Attacking Mindset': Patidar After RCB Crush GT To Reach Final
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar praised his teams aggressive intent and fearless approach after their massive 92-run victory over Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Tuesday, which helped the defending champions secure a second consecutive appearance in the final. Patidar led from the front with a sensational unbeaten 93 off just 39 balls as RCB posted a record-breaking 254/5 before bowling Gujarat Titans out for 162 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium. The RCB skipper said the team entered the game with a positive mindset and showed strong intent from the beginning against the Gujarat bowling attack. It was a super game for us. The way especially the batsmen dominated, and everyone was striking with intent, I think that was really good for us, Patidar said after the match. It was not about having one clear plan against the bowlers, but we were ready for the challenge. You have to show some body language that we are coming for you. That attitude was there in every batsman, he added. RCB batters attacked from the very start, with Venkatesh Iyer, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal providing quick runs before Patidar and Krunal Pandya took complete control in the middle overs. Patidar revealed that the team discussion before the game focused heavily on maintaining attacking intent on the big stage. We had a chat in the meeting that we needed good body language and an attacking mindset. It was Qualifier 1, a big stage, and the way we dominated the game was superb, he said. Talking about his own batting approach, the RCB captain said he prefers to assess the conditions first before shifting gears and putting pressure back on the bowlers. My batting approach is usually the same. I like to take around 8-10 balls at the start to understand how the wicket is behaving and what the ball is doing. After that, I get a clear idea about how to go ahead, Patidar explained. I always like to put the bowler under pressure, and I dont worry too much about the wicket, he added. Patidar also praised RCBs bowlers for executing their plans perfectly while defending the massive total. Gujarat Titans lost five wickets inside the power play and never recovered in the chase. To be honest, the wicket was not that easy for hitting long sixes consistently because there was good bounce. The bowlers executed their plans really well and bowled more on the stumps, which helped us, he said.

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.
