GT Vs RR IPL 2026 Qualifier 2: Shubman Gill’s Century Powers Gujarat Titans Into Final
Gujarat Titans produced a stunning chase to book their place in the IPL final, overhauling Rajasthan Royals’ 214 for six with seven wickets in hand and eight balls to spare in Qualifier 2. Shubman Gill starred with a brilliant 104, adding a dominant 167-run opening stand with Sai Sudharsan (58) to set up the chase. Rahul Tewatia finished it off in style with a straight six as GT completed their highest successful chase in T20 playoffs. Earlier, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 96 and Donovan Ferreira’s late hitting took RR to a strong total, but GT’s top order proved too strong as they set up a final clash with RCB.
