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

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. Today, if you look at his four wickets, three bowled, one leg before, and if you look at his beehive, you'll find a very high percentage of those deliveries were hitting the stumps, he added.

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

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

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

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