Toss & Playing XI
Stand-in RR captain Yashasvi Jaiswal won the toss and elected to bowl first. The Jaipur crowd always backs their team, but tonight, the pitch has other ideas for the home side.
Playing XI — Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal (c), Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Donovan Ferreira, Shubham Dube, Dasun Shanaka, Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, Brijesh Sharma
Playing XI — Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudarshan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Nishant Sindhu, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, Sai Kishor, Jason Holder
GT Innings: 229/4 in 20 Overs
Gujarat Titans batted first and put up a performance that the Jaipur crowd couldn’t believe. Captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan came out to open the innings and never let the RR bowlers settle down.
Powerplay (Overs 1–6): 58/0
Both openers play smart and aggressive cricket in the Powerplay. They choose the right balls to attack and don’t give away cheap wickets. GTA ended the Powerplay at 58/0, which perfectly set the tone for a big total.
The Big Opening Partnership: 118 Runs
Gill and Sudarshan put on a huge opening partnership of 118 runs in just 10.5 overs. This is the biggest opening partnership of this IPL season at Jaipur. Sudarshan counted the ball beautifully and scored 55 runs in 36 balls with 6 fours and 2 sixes before being dismissed. He looked in complete control during his innings.
Gill is the better one. He scored 84 runs in just 44 balls at a strike rate of 190.91. He hit 9 fours and 3 sixes and it seems that no one can stop him. Once he is set, every ball seems like a boundary waiting to be made.
Death Overs Flourish
After two openers were dismissed, Washington comes in beautifully and ends the innings in a brilliant manner. He scored an unbeaten 37 runs in just 20 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes. He takes full advantage of the fielding restrictions in the death overs and keeps the scoreboard ticking along at a brisk pace. GT ended their innings on a mammoth score of 229/4.
For RR, Brijesh Sharma is the only bowler to take multiple wickets. He takes 2/47 in his four overs. Ravindra Jadeja is out with 1/34.

RR Chase: 152 All Out in 16.3 Overs
Chasing 230 on this pitch is not easy, but RR got off to a flying start thanks to Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The young opener scored 36 runs in just 16 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes. He also hit a six off the very first ball to Mohammad Siraj. The Jaipur crowd went absolutely crazy.
At one point, RR had scored 68/2 in 5.3 overs and were still very busy chasing. But then Rashid Khan came in and changed everything.
Rashid Khan’s Magic Spell
Rashid Khan cannot play in the middle overs. He broke the hearts of the RR batting line-up by taking the wickets of Dhruv Jurel (24 off 10 balls), Donovan Ferreira (4 off 2 balls) and Shubham Dube (15 off 14 balls). Whenever RR tries to build a partnership, Rashid breaks it.
He won the award of 4/33 for 33 runs in 4 overs. This is a vintage performance from Rashid – which completely unsettles the batsmen.
Ravindra Jadeja fought hard and top-scored for RR with 38 runs off 25 balls (3 fours, 2 sixes), but he got no support from the other end. After Jadeja’s departure, the chase was completely over.
Jason Holder Finishes the Job
Jason Holder comes back in the final overs and dismisses the RR bowler in quick time. He takes 3/12 in just 2.3 overs and his economy rate is 4.80. This is the most economy spell of the entire match. RR lost their last few wickets very quickly and were all out for 152 in 16.3 overs.

Key Highlights of the Match
Shubman Gill’s brilliant captaincy innings: Gill shows that he is currently one of the best T20 captains in the world by scoring 84 runs in 44 balls. He sets the tone for the entire GT innings with his brilliant batting at the top order.
Gill-Sudarshan’s 118-run opening partnership: This is the best opening partnership of the season in Jaipur and completely destroys any chance of RR bowlers getting out early. It is also close to breaking the record of the prestigious Virat Kohli-Chris Gayle opening partnership in IPL.
Rashid Khan’s vintage four-wicket record: Rashid completely turns the match around in the middle overs. When RR needs him to fail, he delivers one of the best spells of the season. He dismisses four key batsmen and makes 230 look like 330.
Suryavanshi’s aggressive start: Even when facing defeat, Vaibhav Suryavanshi shows everyone why the fans love him. He gives RR a real chance early on, scoring 36 runs off just 16 balls. His 225 strike rate in the Powerplay is a sight to behold.
Jason Holder’s clinical tail-end blitz: Holder’s 3/3 for 12 runs in 2.3 overs at the death overs is one of the most controlled bowling performances of IPL 2026. He leaves almost nothing behind and finishes the match quickly.
GT’s record win: This is the biggest win in terms of runs in Gujarat Titans’ IPL history. It sends a big message to every other team in the competition.
Player of the Match

Rashid Khan is the clear and deserving winner of the Player of the Match award tonight.

His ability to take wickets in clusters sets him apart from every spinner in the world. Tonight, he is not fit to play.

What This Result Means
Gujarat Titans are in great form at the moment. They have won three consecutive matches and look like a team that has found the right balance between bat and ball. Shubman Gill has been bowling brilliantly, and Rashid Khan is back to his best. If these two continue to perform like this, GT can be a serious threat in the playoffs.
For Rajasthan Royals, it is a tough night. The pitch is good and they have a strong batting lineup, but Jaipur have a lot of runs to chase after 229. They need to go back, regroup and come back strong in the remaining league matches.
