Prince Gill Fires Back in Style: Runs, Rate and Consistency in IPL 2026
Shubman Gills brilliant 84 on 9th May powered Gujarat Titans to a dominant win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. Shubman Gill, alongside Sai Sudharsan (55), laid the foundation with a superb 118-run opening partnership as Gujarat posted a season-high and match-winning 229/4 and then dismissed the hosts for 152 in 16.3 overs. This was GTs fourth successive win, which lifted them to 14 points alongside Sunrises Hyderabad at the top of the standings and strengthened their playoff hopes. The most noteworthy aspect of the win was Gills fluent 44-ball 84, with nine fours and three sixes, registering his fourth half-century of the season. Shubman Gill, in IPL 2026, is leaving no stone unturned in giving a fitting reply to all his detractors who were almost unanimous in their T20 verdict against him, terming that playing modern T20 is not his cup of tea. He was dropped from India's T20 WC squad, but this shifted his focus towards a quicker batting approach and impressive performance in IPL 2026. No doubt, GTs mid-season show cannot be attributed to Shubman Gill alone, but no one can deny that he has played a dominating role. He tops in contribution of a batsman in team runs in this IPL and his contribution stands at 27.8% of team runs, with +12 SR in comparison to a team. Let us look at some more facts: His IPL 2026 performance: 462 runs in 10 innings @ 46.20 with an SR of 160.42, including 4 fifties. Only H Klaasen (SRH- 494), Abhishek Sharma (SRH- 475) and KL Raul (DC-468) were ahead of him in run tally but each of them played 11 innings. Gradual improvement in Shubman Gills SR: He is already ahead of his IPL 2024 strike rate of 147.40 and his IPL 2025 strike rate of 155.88. The rise is steady and significant and most importantly, he has come out as the least collapsible opener of the season, and he has made 235 powerplay runs off 135 balls at 174.07. Success story of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan's partnership: The duo has stitched useful and big opening stands in changing the GTs fortune. They are very close to the IPL record of 10 centuries scored by the legendary Royal Challengers Bengaluru pair, Virat Kohli & AB de Villiers (in 76 games). Gill and Sudharsan now have nine century partnerships (in 43 games) together in the IPL, at par with Virat Kohli and Chris Gayles tally (in 59 games) for the second-most century stands by any pair in the IPL. Gill and Sudharsan have also equalled the record for the most century stands for the opening wicket in the IPL, with six 100-plus stands together, matching the SRH duo David Warner & Shikhar Dhawan and Abhishek Sharma & Travis Head. As the season progresses, the race is still open. Overall IPL record: 4328 runs in 125 innings @ 40.07 with an SR of 140.74, including 4 hundreds and 30 fifties. He is the only batter in the IPL to score 4000+ runs with a 40+ average and 140+ SR. 400+ runs in a consecutive season: With 462 runs this season so far, Shubman Gill has now scored 400+ runs for the 7th consecutive season (2020-26) and is at par with Suresh Raina (2008-14) and Shikhar Dhawan (2016-22) and can better the feat next season, continuing the same scoring spree. In 2020440 runs. In 2021478 runs. In 2022, 483 runs. In 2023890 runs. In 2024426 runs. In 2025650 runs. In 2026462* runs. Most IPL Seasons with 400+ runs (seasons played): Shubman Gill has scored 400+ runs in 7 out of 9 IPL seasons played (missed 2018 & 2019 for KKR). Virat Kohli (11 out of 19), Suresh Raina (9 out of 13), David Warner (9 out of 15), Shikhar Dhawan (9 out of 17), Rohit Sharma (9 out of 19) and KL Rahul (8 out of 13) are ahead of Shubman Gill, but no one matches his frequency percentage.

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.

Abhishek Will Have The Best Chance: Graeme Smith Backs SRH Opener To Claim Orange Cap
Indian Premier League: Graeme Smith has tipped Abhishek Sharma to finish as the leading run-scorer in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026, even as Heinrich Klaasen currently sits atop the Orange Cap standings. The former South Africa captain and SA20 League commissioner believes Sharmas role as an opener gives him an edge over Klaasen, who bats in the middle order for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Klaasen has enjoyed a prolific campaign so far, scoring 494 runs at an average of 54.88, while Sharma is close behind with 475 runs at 47.50. However, Smith feels the nature of modern IPL batting conditions and Sharmas position at the top of the order could eventually tilt the race in the left-handers favour. We're seeing a great race for the Orange Cap this season, and despite his struggles in the World Cup and the impressive (Vaibhav) Sooryavanshi, I think Abhishek Sharma will have the best chance. Those at the top of the order always have a longer time to bat, so any dip in form means you could have a chance to get it back quickly. I certainly think thats the case on these flat pitches where theres not a lot in the surface, Smith said in his SA20 column. Abhishek plays a lot more square than most batters, certainly over the off-side. But there's a lack of fear in the youngsters these days; there are so many across the board who are pinging it from the word go, he added. While backing Sharma for the Orange Cap, Smith also welcomed Klaasens return to top form after a relatively underwhelming outing in the latest edition of the SA20, where he managed only 138 runs for Durban's Super Giants. Klaasen, who became the first batter to cross 1000 runs in SA20 history during Season 3, has rediscovered his explosive touch in the IPL. The South African wicketkeeper-batter has struck 36 fours and 23 sixes this season and has been one of Hyderabads most reliable performers in the middle order. I was a little bit worried about Heinrich Klaasen's recent form over the last year and a half, but he's played well and he's also in the hunt. I think in the early phase of the tournament, some of his knocks were key. He showed maturity in the way that he's played, and thats sometimes more difficult than just going out and smashing it, Smith said. Smith also praised Donovan Ferreira for making the most of his opportunities with Rajasthan Royals this season after spending previous campaigns largely on the fringes. Ferreira has emerged as one of the most destructive finishers in the competition, particularly in the death overs. The hard-hitting batter shares the lead for most sixes struck between overs 16 and 20 this season with Tim David, while Klaasen sits just behind them. Smith also praised Donovan Ferreira for making the most of his opportunities with Rajasthan Royals this season after spending previous campaigns largely on the fringes. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I was happy to see Donovan Ferreira get them (the Royals) over the line recently. It's important to have more players in good form coming into this phase of the tournament, because that top-four slot is never as easy as you think, Smith said. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: CSKs Urvil Patel Lights Up Chepauk With Joint Fastest Fifty In Tournaments History
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings top-order batter Urvil Patel produced a breathtaking display of power-hitting by smashing a half-century off just 13 balls to equal the record for the fastest fifty in IPL history during the ongoing clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. Through his knock of 65 off 23 balls, laced with two fours and eight sixes at a strike-rate of 282.6, Urvil matched Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had achieved the milestone in 13 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2023 season. The right-hander was unstoppable from the outset and sent the Chepauk crowd into a frenzy, as he also set a new record for the fastest fifty ever hit by a CSK batter in the IPL. Urvil has also become the first batter in IPLs history to smash six sixes within the first eight balls of an innings. Coming in to bat after Sanju Samsons dismissal, Urvil quickly launched Avesh Khan for three sixes in the fifth over, before smacking Digvesh Rathi for three maximums and a four. The highlight of his stay at the crease came when Patel, on 48 off 11 balls, launched Mohammed Shami for his seventh maximum highlighting that most of his big hits came on the back of picking the length of bad deliveries early, ferocious bat speed, and sheer power.

'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.

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.

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. Jaiswal, however, chose not to dwell too much on the defeat and instead stressed the importance of learning quickly before the next fixture.

IPL 2024: Rashids Four-fer, Gills 84 Help GT Thrash RR By 77-run
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Gujarat Titans produced a commanding all-round performance to crush Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs in their IPL 2026 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, with Rashid Khan starring in a dramatic middle-overs collapse after Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill powered the visitors to a massive total of 229/4. In a contest that swung wildly across phases, Rajasthan threatened an extraordinary chase during a breathtaking powerplay before Gujarats spinners completely dismantled the innings to bowl the hosts out for 152 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.

IPL 2026: Gill, Sudharsan Power GT To Commanding 229/4 Against RR
Captain Shubman Gill: Captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan struck commanding half-centuries before late fireworks from Washington Sundar propelled Gujarat Titans to a formidable 229/4 against Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2026 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. After being put in to bat by Rajasthan Royals stand-in skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal, GT made a blistering start and never allowed the hosts to regain control on a batting-friendly surface in Jaipur. The tone for the innings was set in a chaotic opening over from Jofra Archer, who leaked 18 runs, including nine extras. Sai Sudharsan immediately capitalised on the loose bowling, driving and cutting with authority, while Gill settled in quickly at the other end. Rajasthans bowlers struggled badly with their lines in the powerplay as GT raced to 82 without loss in six overs, their joint-highest powerplay total in IPL history. Sudharsan was particularly fluent, punishing anything on his pads and taking on both pace and spin with ease. Gill soon joined the assault, hammering Archer for a six and two boundaries in the fifth over to further tilt the momentum decisively in Gujarats favour. The opening pair brought up 100 in just 8.1 overs and continued to dominate Rajasthans attack with intelligent strokeplay and sharp running between the wickets. Their partnership also entered the IPL record books as Gill and Sudharsan registered their sixth century stand as an opening pair in the tournament. Yash Raj Punja finally provided Rajasthan a breakthrough in the 11th over when Sudharsan mistimed a lofted shot to long-on after a superb 55 off 36 balls, studded with six fours and two sixes. The left-handers dismissal ended a massive 108-run opening partnership that laid the perfect platform for a huge total. Gill, however, continued to dictate terms with elegant strokeplay and brought up his fourth fifty of the season. Jos Buttler looked threatening during his brief stay, smashing a six and a boundary before falling to Ravindra Jadeja for 13. Gill accelerated further in the death overs and looked set for a century before falling for a superb 84 off just 44 deliveries. His innings included nine boundaries and three sixes and kept the Gujarat Titans on course for a 230-plus total. After Gills dismissal, Washington Sundar took charge with a powerful late cameo. The left-hander struck boundaries cleanly against both pace and spin, including successive fours and sixes off Brijesh Sharma before finishing unbeaten on 37 from 20 balls. Rahul Tewatia then delivered the finishing touches with two sixes in the final over as Gujarat Titans smashed 21 runs off the last six balls to finish on a daunting 229/4.

You Have To Trust Your Skills: Rashid Focused On Consistency As GT Eye Strong Finish To League Stage
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Gujarat Titans all-rounder Rashid Khan said the team is not looking too far ahead to the IPL 2026 playoffs and remains fully focused on maintaining consistency and improving with every game as the tournament enters its decisive phase. Speaking ahead of GTs clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, Rashid also expressed satisfaction with his own bowling form and stressed the importance of trusting his skills against aggressive batters. The Afghanistan leg-spinner has been a key figure in GTs bowling attack over the years and said he was pleased with the way he has performed since rejoining the squad this season. Absolutely. Since joining the squad, Ive simply tried to contribute as much as possible to the team's cause, and it feels great, Rashid said while reflecting on his performances after the Delhi game. As far as my landing is concerned, the ball is pitching exactly where I want it to; so, Im quite happy with my performance so far. I will continue to strive to perform well in all the upcoming matches for the team, he added. Gujarat Titans come into the encounter on the back of three consecutive victories and remain firmly in contention for a playoff place. However, Rashid insisted the side is not looking to change its approach despite the winning momentum. Theres no need to do anything differently today. We will simply continue doing what weve been doing since the very first match, constantly striving to improve upon it, he said. Its not a case of simply maintaining the status quo just because were winning; even when youre on a winning streak, there are always specific areas where you can aim for further improvement. So, wherever we spot an opportunity - or wherever weve executed things well in previous matches - we focus on refining those aspects, he added. Beyond that, we just enjoy our cricket and aim to deliver a strong collective performance as a team, Rashid said. The veteran spinner also acknowledged the challenge posed by Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has impressed with his aggressive approach this season. Its definitely a challenge. Given the way he played last year, and the mindset with which hes approaching the game this season, it can certainly be a bit difficult for a bowler, Rashid said. However, you have to place your trust in your own skills and the hard work youve put in. Against a batsman of that caliber, I believe the key is to execute your good balls with even greater precision, he added. In my view, the better you bowl, the better the results you will get. That remains my sole focus: to bowl well and consistently hit the right areas, he further explained. With the playoff race tightening, Rashid said Gujarat Titans are deliberately avoiding discussions around qualification scenarios and are instead taking one match at a time. Not really - thats still quite a way off. I think our focus right now is simply on our upcoming match, he said when asked if the team had started defining roles keeping the playoffs in mind. With the playoff race tightening, Rashid said Gujarat Titans are deliberately avoiding discussions around qualification scenarios and are instead taking one match at a time.

IPL 2026: Shubman Gill-Sai Sudharsan equal all-time IPL record
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan achieved a significant milestone for Gujarat Titans, registering their sixth century partnership for the opening wicket in IPL 2026. This remarkable feat against Rajasthan Royals matches the IPL record held by legendary opening pairs from Sunrisers Hyderabad. The duo's dominant performance once again provided a strong foundation for their team.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Jos Buttler said enjoying the game and embracing competition has become his biggest motivation at this stage of his career as the Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper-batter reflected on form, leadership and facing his former franchise, the Rajasthan Royals, at the IPL 2026 on Saturday. Ahead of Gujarat Titans clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, Buttler also credited GTs bowling unit for the teams recent strong performances in the tournament. Gujarat Titans head into the contest after registering three consecutive wins and are firmly in the race for a playoff spot. Reflecting on the sides momentum, Buttler said the bowlers have played a defining role in their success. No massive changes. I think the boys have been bowling really well. I think that's been one of the hallmarks of the few performances that we've had, Buttler said. We've taken a lot of wickets and restricted sides. So that's been a huge plus. And then we've had a little break, so five days or six days since the last game. And a huge game today against the Royals, he added. The England batter spent several successful seasons with Rajasthan Royals before moving to Gujarat Titans, but said facing his former side does not add any extra motivation beyond the importance of the contest itself. I don't really. I think you want to win every game, don't you? Buttler said when asked if playing against the Rajasthan Royals carried additional significance. But, you know, spent a few good seasons there. But today's a massive game when you look at the table and getting to the business end of it. So big two points for whoever takes it, he added. Buttler, one of the most experienced overseas players in the IPL, said his current focus is on enjoying cricket while also helping younger players develop through his experience. Oh, winning, being competitive and winning, Buttler said when asked what motivates him now. And just trying to be really content at this stage, you've experienced lots of things, all the highs and lows that you think the game can throw at you. And now it's just time to really enjoy it and really enjoy the competition, really, invest yourself in the team and try and share a bit of wisdom with the younger guys coming through and just to really enjoy this phase of your career. It's about enjoying it, he added. Buttler also opened up on the changes he made following a difficult phase in recent months, admitting he had been trying too hard during the World Cup period before simplifying his approach ahead of IPL 2026. And just trying to be really content at this stage, you've experienced lots of things, all the highs and lows that you think the game can throw at you.

And then every time you come to the IPL, the practice facilities are so good. There's so much resource for practice.

I carried a lot of drinks- Donovan Ferreira opens up on long wait for opportunities
Donovan Ferreira credits his IPL success this season to years of waiting for opportunities. Having finally secured regular game time with Rajasthan Royals, the South African batter is relishing his role as a finisher. His fearless hitting in the death overs has been crucial, fueled by a strong desire to prove himself after limited chances in previous seasons.
I Carried A Lot Of Drinks In First Three Seasons: Donovan Ferreira On What Motivated Him In IPL 2026
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Rajasthan Royals batter Donovan Ferreira said the lack of opportunities in his first three IPL seasons has become a major source of motivation for him as he looks to make a bigger impact for the franchise in IPL 2026. Ahead of Rajasthan Royals clash against Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, Ferreira reflected on his role as a finisher and the confidence he has gained from finally getting consistent chances in the tournament. The hard-hitting South African has made a habit of clearing the ropes at the death this season, with 11 of his 16 sixes coming between overs 17 and 20. Asked about his effectiveness in the final overs, Ferreira responded with humour. I don't really know. It must just be the middle of my bat. Or they're just sending me better bats. No, I think it's just worked out that way, swinging nice and hard. And it leaves me nice and refreshed now, like a CAR battery like a fully charged CAR battery after a full break. So yeah, ready to play today and hopefully we can get a bit more success today, Ferreira said ahead of the clash. Ferreira has often been deployed as a lower middle-order aggressor for Rajasthan Royals, a role that demands immediate impact, particularly if the top order fails to capitalise. Speaking about handling that responsibility, the 27-year-old said it is a position he has embraced throughout his career. I mean, that is kind of my role in the team and that's what I've got time. So, I think it is exciting for me to be in that role. I've always been in that role my whole career. So it's just nice when it comes off because when it doesn't come off, you look kind of, how can I say, it doesn't look great. But yeah, for me, it's been coming off, so hopefully it can continue going forward, he added. Ferreira also revealed that his limited appearances in previous IPL seasons have fuelled his determination to succeed this year. Having spent much of his earlier campaigns on the sidelines, he said, finally getting opportunities has given him renewed purpose. I think for me, especially in the IPL, a big motivator has been, this has been my fourth season now and I haven't really gotten a lot of opportunity. I carried a lot of drinks in the first three seasons, he said. Ferreira also revealed that his limited appearances in previous IPL seasons have fuelled his determination to succeed this year.
