Shubman Gill Takes Gujarat Into IPL 2026 Finals! GT Beat RR By 7 Wickets

GT vs RR Highlights: Gujarat Titans secured their highly coveted spot in Sunday’s grand finale against Royal Challengers Bengaluru after completing a remarkably comfortable knockout victory over Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 tonight. Led by a magnificent anchoring masterclass from skipper Shubman Gill, the former champions made absolute mockery of a massive 215-run target, cruising across the line under the Mullanpur lights with complete authority.

The daunting second-innings run-chase began with immense technical authority as the premier opening pair dismantled Rajasthan’s new-ball attack during the fielding restrictions. Dynamic left-hander Sai Sudharsan compiled a fluent 58 runs off 32 deliveries, smashing 8 crisp boundaries and 1 six to set an incredibly rapid scoring tempo.

However, the dangerous opening stand was broken in bizarre fashion when Sudharsan accidentally dropped his bat directly onto the stumps while slicing a low full toss from Brijesh Sharma. The freak hit-wicket dismissal triggered immediate shock across the ground, marking the 2nd consecutive playoff fixture where the young opener departed in this identical, self-inflicted manner.
