Shubman Gill breezes to his fifth IPL century in Qualifier 2 vs RR

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: May 29, 2026 11:18 PM IST Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill on Friday scored his fifth century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) against the Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2. GT are chasing a target of 215 and a majority of Gill’s innings came in a mammoth 167-run opening stand between him and Sudharsan. The stand ended only when Sudharsan, extraordinarily, fell hit wicket for a second consecutive time. Gill got there with his 15th four of the innings. The GT captain also hit three sixes on his way to the century. The 26-year-old didn’t last too long after that, falling LBW to Jofra Archer in the next over on 104 off 53 balls. GT VS RR, IPL QUALIFIER 2 | FOLLOW LIVE GT’s innings started with Sudharsan taking down Archer, whose exploits have been crucial to RR’s cause particularly in the latter stages of the season. GT took as many as 19 runs out of that first over, with Sudharsan hitting four fours in the over. Gill hit fours off back …

GT vs RR IPL 2026 Qualifier 2 Match: Gujarat Titans face the Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 of the 2026 Indian Premier League in New Chandigarh on Friday, with a place in the final up for grabs for the winner of the match. The match comes just a couple of days after RR’s stunning win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator which was dominated by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s astonishing innings. Sooryavanshi smashed 97 runs in 29 balls, thus missing out on Chris Gayle’s record for fastest IPL century by just three runs. He however did go past the West Indies’ legend’s record for most sixes in an IPL season over the course of that knock, having hit as many as 12 maximums over the course of the innings. His onslaught was so brutal that RR ended up setting a target close to 250 despite being slowed down to almost a half by SRH in the last five overs of their innings. GT have an arguably more formidable bowling lineup overall than SRH but they will be wary …

‘Pahunchna easy hai’: How Ravi Bishnoi went from the tapri outside SMS Stadium to four wickets at Ahmedabad | Cricket News

Published by Webster

The surprise doesn’t lie in his whippy sliders and googlies or the occasional legbreak. It’s in the angles and in the pace. Strip away the deceptions Ravi Bishnoi layers around his bowling and the deliveries themselves are fairly simple — they usually slide in skidding, or break in with bounce. But he applies the twist all around them. First in the way he approaches the crease. He breaks to his left, then zig-zags back to his right, then hustles through briskly. Like a young boy running in angles to evade adults trying to hold him — to take back the mango he has stolen from the tree. And then the batsman has to take stock of the pace and the bounce. It was the eleventh over of the chase for Gujarat Titans when Bishnoi came on. Sai Sudharsan went immediately — went for the pull, but the line was away from him. He ended up dragging and miscuing it. In his next over, two more. Glenn Phillips fell off the first ball of the thirteenth, …

Siraj’s ‘off day’, Washington Sundar’s failed attack on Ravi Bishnoi and a run out: Matthew Hayden on how GT lost IPL 2026 thriller to RR | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readApr 5, 2026 10:14 AM IST At 107/2 in the 11th over, the Gujarat Titans looked the favourites to win their first match of IPL 2026 against the Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Yet, a combination of a lack of runs from the middle-order and excellent death-over bowling from the visitors meant that they lost by six runs, suffering their second defeat of the tournament. GT batting coach Matthew Hayden felt the hosts had the game in their grasp, but losing a flurry of quick wickets proved to be the turning point. “I think we lost four for ten in that period. The game was absolutely in the bag. Washi Sundar had a pretty big decision to make at that point around if you’re going to attack someone like Bishnoi, who was on a roll, especially after the dismissal. That was maybe a choice that he can look at and will look at as well in terms of just trying to be a little bit more cohesive in our run chases, …

‘Felt strange being on other side against RR but I was even more desperate for win’: Jos Buttler | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Gujarat Titans’ Jos Buttler who plied his trade for the Rajasthan Royals since the 2018 season before getting released by the franchise before the 2025 IPL mega auctions, said it felt strange to be on the opposite side to the Royals but it made him even more desperate to win the match on Wednesday. “It did feel a bit strange being on the other side against Rajasthan Royals. But to be honest, I was even more desperate for the win today. I think it was an excellent team performance. I’m really enjoying the new challenge. I’ve been batting at No. 3 for England recently, so it’s not unfamiliar. It helps that I’m coming in behind two fantastic openers who usually lay a strong platform. If there’s any swing, they deal with it, and I get to walk in once the ball stops moving, which is quite nice,” Buttler said in an interaction with JioHotstar. Buttler, who was bought by GT for Rs 15.75, has been in decent form for his new franchise, scoring 202 runs …

A delighted Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill credited his team’s strong start to the season with four wins in five matches to a collective effort, with everyone chipping in. Gujarat Titans notch a commanding 58-run win over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL clash here on Wednesday, riding on Sai Sudharsan’s classy fifty combined with a collective bowling effort. GT piled on 217 for 6 after being asked to bat and then bowled RR out for 159 in 19.2 overs to win the match. Story continues below this ad “Good total put up. It was not easy, the first three fours overs, it was nipping. Sai and Jos batted tremendously. We’d take 220 any day,” Gill said at the post-match presentation. “Our fast bowlers are doing a tremendous job. Everyone is chipping in. If you are having difficulties in choosing the Player of the Match, that is the hallmark of a great team. “When you have bowlers like we do, captaincy becomes easy.

Sanju Samson’s batting transformation: Spin domination and six-hitting spree | Ipl News

Published by Webster

With two successive half-centuries under his belt, Sanju Samson is signalling a move to a new batting dimension in the IPL. As the Rajasthan Royals found themselves in a dicey situation against the Gujarat Titans at home on Wednesday, Samson commanded attention with an unbeaten 68 off 38 balls that lifted his team to 196. Entering in the fifth over, Samson picked his battles wisely against lead spinners Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad before breaking free at the death. There were two contrasting hundreds in the Rajasthan Royals-Royal Challengers Bengaluru game last weekend, but it was a half-century that caught the eye for more than one reason. Samson’s 69 off 42 balls not only played a key role in RR reaching the target of 184 with plenty to spare, but also showed a new side of the captain’s batting – his improved prowess against spin. He has been found wanting against tweakers in the past, but in that game, took them down meticulously. When left-arm spinner Mayank Dagar landed a length ball on the middle-stump …

RR vs GT: Rashid Khan’s strange but effective ways with the bat, Riyan Parag’s breakthrough with the bat and other key moments | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Rashid Khan’s batting follows his very own coaching manual. But it is amazingly effective, even against long odds. Titans needed 40 off 15 deliveries when he came out to bat. The Afghan all-rounder sits deep in the crease and scythes the ball with his own version of the helicopter shot. He seems to correctly predict what the bowler is trying to do in the final overs and knowingly or otherwise, seems to find gaps and the rope, as he did in Jaipur on Wednesday. A supremely effective cameo that took his side past the finish line. 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙈𝙖𝙣 delivered yet again 😎 🎥 Relive the thrilling end to a thrilling @gujarat_titans win!
