Ravi Bishnoi, Dhruv Jurel Star As Rajasthan Royals Beat Gujarat Titans, Make It 2 Wins In A Row
Ravi Bishnoi took four wickets and Dhruv Jurel slammed 75 as Rajasthan Royals defeated Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2026 encounter on Saturday.
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans' stand-in captain Rashid Khan admitted his side lost crucial momentum during the middle overs of the chase as they went down by six runs to Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday. Chasing 211 after Rajasthan posted 210/6, Gujarat appeared well on course for much of the innings, especially with opener Sai Sudharsan anchoring the chase with a fluent knock. However, a cluster of wickets in the middle overs dented their progress before the Titans eventually finished at 204/8, falling short in the final over bowled by Tushar Deshpande. Reflecting on the defeat, Rashid, who led the side in the absence of regular skipper Shubman Gill, felt Gujarats bowlers had done well to limit Rajasthan despite a strong start from the visitors. We bowled really well, especially the way they have started to restrict them under like, 210. I think it was a great effort on this wicket by the bowlers. And then we started really well with the bat too. I felt we have given a great start with the openers. And then I felt in the 12th and 13th overs, we lost back-to-back wickets. That's something that really put us on the back foot. But I think, if they were there, it wasn't that hard to score, but I think in that period of time, we just lost the momentum of the game, he said after the game. The Afghan all-rounder said the surface at the venue was conducive for strokeplay and believed the chase was well within reach before the momentum shift. On the wicket like this, 9-10 per over, it's not that hard a job to be done. And I feel like we just, a little bit like you lose the momentum in that time and go harder and keep a little bit for a longer period of time. And the boundaries were coming. I think on this wicket, boundaries were coming easily. But I think we just lost a few early quick wickets in that period of time, which just didn't allow us to go on and keep the momentum till the end, he added. Despite the narrow loss, Rashid stressed that the team would regroup quickly as the tournament progresses. Everyone have their own game plan, and they know the condition and situation really well. And then just to make sure that you read the conditions and the requirements of the game. Everything is written on the board. I feel like that makes the job pretty much easier, but it's too early; it's still in the competition. We learn from our mistakes, what we do, and we keep getting better and come back stronger in the next game, he stated. The Titans needed 11 runs off the final over, but Deshpandes accurate yorkers kept the batters in check. Rashid revealed that the middle of the discussion was straightforward: find one boundary to swing the equation. Everyone have their own game plan, and they know the condition and situation really well. And then just to make sure that you read the conditions and the requirements of the game. Everything is written on the board. I feel like that makes the job pretty much easier, but it's too early; it's still in the competition.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score Rashid also provided an update on regular Gujarat captain Shubman Gill, who missed the game due to a muscle spasm, leading to Rashid captaining the side and youngster Kumar Kushagra making his debut as opener.

IPL 2026: Deshpandes Ice-cool Final Over, Bishnois 4-fer Seals 6-run Thriller For RR Against GT
Indian Premier League: 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. 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: Toss Was Crucial, MI Were 10-15 Runs Short With The Bat, Says Deepak Chahar
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Deepak Chahar admitted the toss played a decisive role after suffering a six-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2026, saying the side ended up 10-15 runs short with the bat on a slow black soil pitch which later became better to bat under lights at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Suryakumar Yadav captained MI in place of an unwell Hardik Pandya and top-scored with 51 off 36 balls. But barring him, most of the other MI struggled to play their shots as they posted 162/6. Chahar himself found help from the pitch in power-play and even took out KL Rahul, but Sameer Rizvis 90 took DC over the line with 11 balls to spare. I think the pitch was really slow and the toss was crucial. I think there was a bit of moisture there. They were slow to start, and you could feel the moisture. The toss was very crucial at that time, and thats why we were 10-15 runs short, Chahar said in the post-match press conference. He explained how conditions improved for batting in the second innings. The pitch got a bit better. When the pitch is dry, it's more difficult to bat in the second innings. When the pitch has moisture, it becomes better to bat in the second innings I think it had a bit of moisture, and when it was sunny, and there was a bit of rolling at innings break, it got better to bat on. On skipper Hardik Pandyas absence, Chahar said: I think he (Hardik Pandya) was sick. That's why he couldn't play. Probably and hopefully, he'll play in the next game (against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Tuesday). Chahar credited Sameer Rizvis knock for tilting the contest. Yes, we gave it a good shot because defending 160 in an afternoon game is really difficult. Rizvi played really well. If we had got him out early around the ten-over phase, the match would have been very interesting. He elaborated on the challenge of defending a modest total. In T20, the wicket-taking deliveries in any format are risk-taking deliveries But when you're defending 160, you can't bowl such a wicket-taking ball. Chahar credited Sameer Rizvis knock for tilting the contest. Yes, we gave it a good shot because defending 160 in an afternoon game is really difficult. Rizvi played really well.

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.

Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians (MI) stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav conceded his side were 15-20 runs short with the bat, which led to them losing to Delhi Capitals (DC) by six wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. On a slow pitch where shot-making was tough, Suryakumar top-scored with 51 as MI made 162/6. But DC chased down the target as the pitch got better to bat under lights, with Sameer Rizvi making a swashbuckling 90. I think it was a decent wicket. We expected it to be a little on the slower side, but still, from a batting point of view, we were a little short, 15-20 runs, but I don't want to take any credit away from their bowlers, and also they batted really well in the second innings, Suryakumar said after the game ended. On Rizvis second consecutive fifty of the competition, Suryakumar said, Absolutely, I mean, at 7 for 2, someone coming in like that and batting the way he batted, I think a lot of credit goes to him. He never let us come into the game. Suryakumar felt the pitch remained largely the same across both innings but credited the opposition for reading the conditions better.

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.

Despite posting a formidable 209, CSK were unable to defend the total, as Punjab chased it down comfortably with contributions from Shreyas Iyer and Priyansh Arya, sealing the result with time to spare. With Bengaluru carrying early momentum and Chennai under pressure to respond, the encounter sets up as a crucial early-season test for both sides. When: Sunday, April 5, 7:30 PM IST Where: M.

IPL 2026: RCB Skipper Rajat Patidar, Jitesh Sharma Visit Tirumala Temple Ahead Of CSK Clash
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar, along with wicketkeeper batter Jitesh Sharma, offered prayers at the sacred Tirumala temple on Saturday ahead of the team's next match against the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday. Perched atop the Seshachalam Hills in Andhra Pradesh, the Venkateswara Temple at Tirumala is one of Hinduisms most revered shrines. Dedicated to Lord Venkateswara- an incarnation of Vishnu- the temple welcomes over 24 million pilgrims annually. Patidar and Jitesh had previously visited the spiritual place last year, ahead of the CSK clash in which RCB came victorious and went on to clinch the title for the first time in IPL history. Patidar, who recently became a father, looked in great touch in the opening match of the RCB played against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 28. The skipper came to bat at number 4 and played a dominating knock of 31 runs, which came off just 12 balls. His innings included two boundaries and three maximums. While Jitesh, who was dropped from India's T20 World Cup 2026 squad, failed to capitalise on the opportunity to finish the game, as he went out on a duck. Despite Jitesh getting out early, RCB chased down the mammoth 202-run target easily in just 15.4 overs with Virat Kohli remaining unbeaten at 69.

IPL 2026: Two Innings Don't Define An Area Of Concern, CSK Head Coach Fleming Backs Samson
Chennai Super Kings: There may have been some doubts about Sanju Samson's start with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), but head coach Stephen Fleming is sure that the star batter will soon get back into the swing of things. Samson's form has come under fire after he scored 6 and 7 in his first two games of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. This is especially true after his high-profile move from the Rajasthan Royals and his recent success in India's T20 World Cup win. Fleming, on the other hand, dismissed the worries and supported the experienced batter's ability to bounce back strongly. He is not going to score every time. It's T20 cricket and he just nicked one today. But, he is in good form. He is training well. And when he gets going, he is often a match-winner. So, two innings don't define an area of concern, Fleming said after CSKs loss to Punjab Kings. Samson's first two dismissals, first to Nandre Burger in Guwahati and then to Xavier Bartlett at Chepauk, show that he had a rough start with only 13 runs in two innings. But there isn't much panic in the CSK camp because the team trusts his ability to turn things around after slow starts. Samson has gotten a lot of attention, but CSK's biggest worry is their bowling. Even though they scored a strong 209/5, they couldn't protect the total after Punjab Kings chased it down easily, thanks to Priyansh Arya's explosive start and Shreyas Iyer's calm half-century. Fleming said that the team could have done better with the ball, but when asked about their auction strategy, especially why they didn't spend a lot of money on experienced pacers, he was careful not to say too much. Im trying to think back to the auction process around all those names that you talked about were mentioned. I dont, I cant remember the dynamics. There was a large list of bowlers that we looked at and missed out on that might have been out of form at the time but are in form now. Trust me, we went over everything. I cant remember those dynamics, he said. CSKs squad overhaul has also raised questions about balance, particularly the lack of specialist finishers. But Fleming believes the modern T20 game has evolved beyond traditional roles. Im trying to think back to the auction process around all those names that you talked about were mentioned. I dont, I cant remember the dynamics. There was a large list of bowlers that we looked at and missed out on that might have been out of form at the time but are in form now. Trust me, we went over everything. I cant remember those dynamics, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Its just a more aggressive approach to get 240. So you actually have to have players all the way through that are going to be aggressive and thats certainly the team that weve got. Keep in mind weve got (Dewald) Brevis on the sideline and youve got one of the best finishers in the MS (Dhoni) and theres some power there but Brevis is in the middle. Im really content with the pace that we can go, Fleming added. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Prashant Veer Set To Debut As PBKS Ask CSK To Bat In Chennai
Chennai Super Kings: Punjab Kings (PBKS) won the toss and elected to bowl against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the seventh match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. We are going to bowl first, said PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer. Since it is their first match at home, I think it is a fresh wicket. It would be a great thing to know how it plays. Based on that, I have made this decision. Speaking of his hand injury, Iyer said, It is fresh. I just want to be positive in the way I talk. I just feel that if I say anything negative, it rubs off on my body. Just want to keep it cool. It gives us immense confidence. The motivation we got from the last game will rub off today. We just want to play to the best of our abilities. On his batting, he said, I feel that I just like to take on bowlers when the chips are down. That's the mindset shift I did last season. This season, I came with a similar mindset. The players clear the boundaries easily these days. That rubs off on everyone in the team. We are going with an unchanged team. Saying he is happy to bat first, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, I think for me, it looks a bit on the drier side. Don't think it will change too much. It will remain the same. It's early April. Dew will be a factor. Runs on the board, and you can defend on this track. On their batting collapse in the last match against the Rajasthan Royals, Gaikwad said, You just accept we had tough conditions to face. One of those games where you try to go positive and make mistakes. What has gone is gone. You just focus on this game and be better prepared. It's about taking it game by game. That is the key for CSK as a franchise, having that top order. Opening partnerships has given us a lot of success. Nothing better than having Sanju open with me. We have one change tonight.

IPL 2026: Kevin Pietersen Predicts Top 4 Teams After First Round Matches
Indian Premier League: Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has made an early prediction of the four teams that can make it into the playoffs of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 after watching the first round matches, where every franchise played a minimum of one match. The former Delhi Capitals mentor feels that the Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Capitals (DC), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Punjab Kings (PBKS) could face each other in the playoffs. He also added that unexpected player injuries could change these standings. Having watched the first round of matches in the IPL this season, as it stands, just on observations, this could be the top 4. MI, DC, RR, PUNJAB. This can all change with injuries, etc., but thats how I see it atm, Pietersen wrote in a post on X. The biggest exclusion from his playoffs list is the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who started off their campaign with a dominant win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). According to Pietersen, RCB's middle order form and Hazelwood's fitness are the main reasons behind keeping the 2025 champions out. My concern with RCB is their middle overs and spinners. And Hazlewoods fitness. Remember - bowlers win you championships, He wrote on X. Pietersen also feels that no target is safe in this season after seeing RCB and Mumbai Indians chasing 200 plus total easily. According to him, toss has become very important. The mad thing, though, about this season, is batters dont know how hard to go in the first innings. Whats a good score? Averaging it out, can you actually win most of your games batting first? The toss is as important as your team! he added. According to the 45-year-old, five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and 2016 title winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have to do something extraordinary and bring massive change to be title contenders. The toss is as important as your team! he added.

IPL 2026: Young CSK Batters Will Improve With More Game Time, Says Gaikwad
Young Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings captain (CSK) Ruturaj Gaikwad backed his young batting line-up to improve as the season progresses after his side faltered against Rajasthan Royals in their opening match of the 2026 IPL, adding that they will see them become better with more game time. CSK were bowled out for 127 by Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, as they slumped to an eight-wicket loss. The wicket was slightly tougher, and we had to bat first, put up a score, and they had two really good new-ball bowlers. So that really put us on the back foot. In T20 games, we are not really used to playing on such pitches. So maybe we dont actually have that experience where players will adapt and play accordingly. But its a new group, a new batch, so you know they will learn slowly. The more games they get, they will get better and better, said Gaikwad in the pre-match press conference. Gaikwad also felt conditions at Chepauk could vary depending on the weather, with dew and moisture likely to affect the pitch at night, especially after pitches during the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup turned out to be batting-friendly. Regarding pitches, a lot depends here on the weather. And whatever World Cup games happened, they happened in February. So not much of dew. With the best weather and best conditions, usually the Chennai wicket plays really well. But, at night, sometimes, if there is excessive dew and a bit more moisture in the wicket, it tends to change a bit, especially the second half of the innings. So, not really sure about how it will go this year. We have to adapt accordingly and take the experience. We have seven games, and hopefully, whatever the pitch, we will try to make use of however much ever we can, he said. If the pitch is indeed on the flatter side, Gaikwad stated that young batter Kartik Sharma, who scored 18 from 15 balls on his IPL debut, can come good. Well, really confident with what skill set we have. Kartik is someone who has a really good six-hitting ability. I have not seen many right-handers who have that six-hitting ability. So he is one of the greatest additions to our squad. But, at night, sometimes, if there is excessive dew and a bit more moisture in the wicket, it tends to change a bit, especially the second half of the innings. So, not really sure about how it will go this year. We have to adapt accordingly and take the experience. We have seven games, and hopefully, whatever the pitch, we will try to make use of however much ever we can, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score In IPL, there is a lot of pressure from families, media, team members, everyone. So, to cope with that and to just get into that IPL performance mode, it takes time.

After being bowled out for just 127 in 19.4 overs, CSK saw Rajasthan chase down the target comfortably in only 12.1 overs, losing just two wickets. In contrast, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) opened their season with a hard-fought win against the Gujarat Titans in Mullanpur.

Despite a shaky middle-order performance, Punjab managed to cross the finish line in 19.1 overs with three wickets in hand. Punjab Kings have enjoyed the upper hand in recent meetings between the two sides, winning six of their last seven encounters against CSK. That said, the overall head-to-head record remains perfectly balanced, with both teams winning 16 matches each out of 32 played.
