Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill are out in the middle for Gujarat Titans, with Sudharsan taking strike. Jofra Archer has the new ball in hand for Rajasthan Royals.

A chaotic opening over from Jofra Archer gives Gujarat Titans a flying start as 17 runs come off it without a boundary-heavy assault. Archer struggled badly with his line and rhythm, conceding multiple wides, including a costly five-wide and a no-ball, allowing GT to cash in early pressure-free runs. Sai Sudharsan looked composed despite the chaos, moving to 7 off 5 balls, while Shubman Gill got off the mark quietly at the other end.

Gujarat Titans continue their aggressive start as 11 runs come off Brijesh Sharma’s first over, taking the score to 37 without loss after three overs. Sai Sudharsan is looking in sublime touch early on, racing to 24 off just 16 balls with a classy boundary and a cleanly struck six that kept the pressure firmly on Rajasthan Royals. Shubman Gill has played a supporting role so far, rotating strike calmly while Sudharsan attacks.

Gujarat Titans finish the powerplay in complete control at 82 without loss after a blazing over from Brijesh Sharma costs Rajasthan Royals another 15 runs. Shubman Gill has shifted gears beautifully, moving to 32 off just 15 balls with a series of crisp boundaries, while Sai Sudharsan continues his fluent knock at 39 from 22 deliveries.

Sai Sudharsan brings up another outstanding IPL fifty and continues his dream season with a composed half-century off just 30 balls. The left-hander has looked in complete control from the very beginning, mixing elegant timing with smart strike rotation to keep Rajasthan Royals under constant pressure. His partnership with Shubman Gill has completely dominated the powerplay and now the middle overs

Rajasthan Royals finally break the dangerous opening stand as Yash Raj Punja dismisses Sai Sudharsan for a brilliant 55 off 36 balls. The wicket ends a massive 118-run partnership, though Shubman Gill continues strongly after bringing up his fourth fifty of the season.

Ravindra Jadeja delivers a timely breakthrough for Rajasthan Royals by removing Jos Buttler just when Gujarat Titans looked set to accelerate again. Buttler tried to take Jadeja on down the ground but mistimed the shot badly, with Donovan Ferreira completing a comfortable catch at long-off. The over slows GT’s momentum significantly, giving away just five runs while Shubman Gill continues to anchor the innings strongly on 69 off 36 balls.

Brijesh Sharma finally removes the dangerous Shubman Gill for a sensational 84 off 44 balls, ending a brutal knock that kept Rajasthan Royals under pressure throughout the innings. Gill attempted an audacious scoop over short fine leg but failed to get proper timing, allowing Tushar Deshpande to complete a smart running catch.

Brijesh Sharma delivers an excellent over for Rajasthan Royals at a crucial stage, conceding just four runs and picking up the wicket of Jason Holder with a clever slower delivery. Holder failed to read the change of pace and chipped a simple catch to Yashasvi Jaiswal at extra cover. After Gujarat Titans’ earlier momentum, RR managed to slow things down brilliantly in the 19th over, keeping Washington Sundar relatively quiet as GT moved to 208/4.

Gujarat Titans finish with a massive 229/4 after a sensational final over from Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia completely shifts momentum back in their favour. Tushar Deshpande endured a tough finish as GT smashed 21 runs in the last over, including three huge sixes. Washington Sundar provided the perfect finishing touch with an unbeaten 37 off just 20 balls, while Rahul Tewatia’s late cameo added extra damage in just four deliveries.

Rajasthan's stand-in skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal and 'Boss Baby' Vaibhav Sooryavanshi stride out to commence the Royals' chase of a 230-run target. Mohammed Siraj has the ball in hand for the Titans.

Jaiswal hands over the strike to Sooryavanshi straight away and the teen phenom responds with a first-ball six over long on! He hurts himself next delivery, though, inside-edging it into his foot. The Bihar lad is in some pain but after getting some treatment, is good to go again. This could be a really eventful powerplay.

RR: 11/0 (1)

It's all happening in the powerplay. Mohammed Siraj has the last laugh against Sooryavanshi as he sends back the southpaw for a whirlwind 16-ball 36. Kagiso Rabada then has Jaiswal caught near mid-off and Dhruv Jurel walks out all guns blazing. The RR wicketkeeper-batter smashes three sixes and a four in his first seven balls to race away to 22 not out.

Rabada then gets rid of Shimron Hetmyer, but in comes Ravindra Jadeja and dispatches the Proteas seamer for a six and a four straight away! The Royals realise they have to keep going if they are to chase this total down.

RR: 78/3 (6)

Rashid Khan does the star turn! The Titans' influential leg-spinner deals a double blow by cleaning up Jurel for a 10-ball 24 and then castling Donovan Ferreira too. Rashid has completely shifted the momentum Gujarat's way and at least one of Ravindra Jadeja and Shubham Dubey needs to play a blinder, if Rajasthan are to recover from here.

RR: 99/5 (10)

Rashid Khan delivers another massive breakthrough for Gujarat Titans as Rajasthan Royals lose yet another wicket during the chase. The Afghan spinner continues to dominate the middle overs brilliantly, tightening GT’s grip on the match with his third wicket of the innings.

RR: 121/6 (12)

Rashid Khan all but seals the game for Gujarat Titans with the massive wicket of Ravindra Jadeja, who falls lbw after scoring 38 off 25 balls. Jadeja reviewed the decision immediately, but ball-tracking confirmed the leg-break was crashing into the stumps. It was Rashid’s fourth wicket of the night and another huge blow for Rajasthan Royals, whose chase is now falling apart badly at 137/7 after 14 overs.

RR: 137/7 (14)

Jason Holder adds to Rajasthan Royals’ misery with the wicket of Jofra Archer as GT move closer to a dominant victory in Jaipur. Holder banged it in short and Archer’s attempted pull only managed a top edge, with Jos Buttler completing a simple catch behind the stumps. Rajasthan’s lower order is collapsing quickly now.

RR: 141/8 (15)

Jason Holder wraps things up brilliantly for Gujarat Titans with two wickets in the over as RR’s lower order collapses completely in Jaipur. Dasun Shanaka fell trying to force the pace before Tushar Deshpande edged another slower short ball to hand GT the final wicket. Gujarat Titans seal a commanding 77-run victory after completely dominating both innings, with Holder finishing the chase strongly alongside Rashid Khan’s match-winning spell earlier.

RR 152 (16.3)

A complete domination from Gujarat Titans in Jaipur as they outplay Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs to strengthen their playoff push and move to second place on the IPL 2026 points table. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan gave GT a dream start with attacking half-centuries before Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia added late fireworks to lift the visitors to a massive 229/4. In reply, Rajasthan Royals never truly recovered after losing wickets regularly despite a positive cameo from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Rashid Khan completely changed the game with a superb four-wicket haul through the middle overs, while Jason Holder cleaned up the lower order with three wickets. Gujarat Titans were sharper in every department and fully deserved the emphatic win.
