Gujarat Titans Crush Rajasthan Royals by 77 Runs in IPL 2026

Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs in an IPL 2026 match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, posting 229 for 6 powered by Shubman Gill's 84 off 44 balls and Sai Sudharsan's 55 off 36. In response, Rajasthan Royals were bowled out for 152 in 17.3 overs, with Rashid Khan claiming 4 for 21 and Mohammed Siraj taking 2 for 34.

Gill dominated the Titans' innings, hitting nine fours and three sixes, accelerating against Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, and Ravindra Jadeja with clean strokes through mid-off, extra cover, and point. Sai Sudharsan supported with a composed 55, anchoring his knock with controlled aggression and precise shot selection.

Rajasthan's chase faltered early as Siraj and Kagiso Rabada removed openers within the PowerPlay, the former dismissing Vaibhav Suryavanshi for 36 and Rabada trapping Yashasvi Jaiswal for three. Rashid Khan then dismantled the middle order, dismissing Dhruv Jurel, Donovan Ferreira, Shubham Dubey, and trapping Jadeja lbw.

The Royals never recovered, losing wickets at regular intervals and failing to build partnerships. Their innings lasted just 17.3 overs, marking one of the tournament's most one-sided contests so far.

The IPL 2026 season continues with the next round of fixtures scheduled across multiple venues starting Tuesday.
