Toss Update: Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and have opted to bat first.

The Gujarat Titans (GT) have historically dominated their rivalry with the Rajasthan Royals (RR), holding a 6–2 win-loss record across eight encounters since 2022.

However, the tide has begun to shift recently. While Gujarat won the first few meetings including the 2022 IPL Final, Rajasthan has won two of the last four games, including a dominant 8-wicket victory in their most recent clash in 2025.

The Rajasthan Royals delivered a clinical performance to dismantle the Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets at the Barsapara Stadium. After winning the toss and opting to bowl, the Royals' pace attack—led by Nandre Burger and Jofra Archer—immediately rattled the CSK top order, leaving them reeling at 19/3 in the powerplay. Ravindra Jadeja added to the carnage by picking up two wickets in his very first over against his former side, effectively ending any hopes of a middle-order recovery. Despite a lone, fighting 43 from Jamie Overton, Chennai was bundled out for a mere 127 in 19.4 overs.

The chase was defined by pure dominance as 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi unleashed a historic assault, reaching his half-century in a staggering 15 balls. His explosive 52 off 17 deliveries—which included five massive sixes—all but ended the contest within the first few overs. Following Sooryavanshi's departure, Yashasvi Jaiswal anchored the remainder of the innings with a steady 38* to ensure there were no further hiccups. The Royals reached the target in just 12.1 overs, securing a massive victory that provided an early-season boost to their net run rate and solidified their status as title contenders.

The match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Punjab Kings (PBKS) was a nail-biter that went down to the very last over. Playing at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium, the Punjab Kings managed to pull off a 3-wicket win in a game that kept fans on the edge of their seats.

The Gujarat Titans batted first and scored 162 runs for 6 wickets. Captain Shubman Gill was the top scorer with 39 runs, trying to hold the innings together while other batters struggled to get going. While the score was decent, many felt the Titans were about 15 runs short of a truly winning total because the Punjab bowlers did a great job of slowing them down at the end.

Punjab’s chase started roughly. The Titans' bowlers, led by Prasidh Krishna, were on fire. Krishna took 3 wickets for 29 runs, making it very hard for Punjab to score. For a long time, it looked like Gujarat would win the game as the required run rate started to climb.

However, the game changed when Cooper Connolly took charge. The young Australian played a brilliant, calm innings under massive pressure. He hit boundaries at the perfect moments and steered his team toward the target.

In the end, Punjab needed 5 runs from the final 5 balls. They didn't panic and finished the game with 5 balls to spare.

Delhi Capitals are currently chasing a score of 164 against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. You can follow the live score updates of the match here.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s record-breaking century against the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 remains one of the most significant moments in the tournament's history. At just 14 years and 32 days old, he became the youngest player to score a century in the IPL and across all men’s T20 cricket.

Playing at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Sooryavanshi reached his hundred in a staggering 35 balls, ultimately finishing with 101 off 38 deliveries. This remains the fastest century by an Indian in the IPL—breaking Yusuf Pathan’s long-standing 37-ball record—and the second-fastest in the league's history, trailing only Chris Gayle’s 30-ball effort.

In a historic display of power-hitting, 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered a masterclass during Rajasthan Royals' IPL 2026 opener against Chennai Super Kings at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. Chasing a modest target of 128, Suryavanshi reached his half-century in just 15 balls, making it the fastest fifty of the 2026 season and the joint third-fastest in IPL history.

The left-handed prodigy eventually finished with 52 runs off 17 balls, a strike rate of 305.88, including 4 boundaries and 5 sixes. His onslaught specifically targeted high-repute bowlers; he dismantled Matt Henry, took 18 runs off a single over from Khaleel Ahmed, and reached his milestone with two consecutive sixes off spinner Noor Ahmad.
