GT vs RR IPL 2026: GT go second on the points table after an emphatic win over RR
At the Sawai Man Singh Stadium on May 9, Yashasvi Jaiswal's decision to bowl first did not get Rajasthan Royals the result they were hoping for. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan put up a record-equalling ninth-century stand between the two of them.
RR's 19-year-old leg spinner Yash Raj Punia dismissed Sudharsan for 55 in the eleventh over, but the opening stand had reached 118. In typical fashion, Gill had started slightly slow, but picked up the pace to ultimately make 84 runs in 44 balls.
Despite losing Jos Buttler early, Washington Sundar picked up the finisher's duties to take GT to an imposing 229.
RR's chase didn't go to plan either. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi launched the way he is supposed to, but crashed early. Dhruv Jurel, too, went slam bang, but his cameo was cut short by Player-of-the-Match Rashid Khan.
Rashid's spell of 4/33 essentially broke the back of RR's middle order. No one from RR's middle order could make a real contribution except Ravindra Jadeja, who top-scored with 38, but Rashid had his number too.
Despite being introduced later into the attack, Jason Holder cleaned up the tail to give GT a 77-run win and take them to second on the points table.
