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.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi proves he is not just a six-hitter

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi proves he is not just a six-hitter

Published by Webster

It was a night where 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi showed he has a different side to his batting. So far this season, all of his knocks have been breathtaking, providing edge-of-the-seat entertainment. On Friday, in the Qualifier II against the Gujarat Titans, on a two-paced pitch at Chandigarh, he had plenty going against him. Wickets kept falling at regular intervals at the other end. The bowlers were not giving him room to free his arms. The sixes, which seemed to arrive as and when he intended, didn’t arrive that easily. He was made to earn them, and Sooryavanshi took the challenge head-on. When he was dismissed for 96 runs from 47 balls, he had made an impact once again, despite reaching a half-century in 31 deliveries. Before Sooryavanshi could hit his first six off the 14th delivery, Rajasthan Royals were already in trouble. Mohammed Siraj took out Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first over. Kagiso Rabada then ended Dhruv Jurel’s stay in the second over. Gujarat were doing what they have been doing all season – break …

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shines as RR eliminate SRH to reach IPL 2026 Qualifier 2

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shines as RR eliminate SRH to reach IPL 2026 Qualifier 2

Cricket’s young prince Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is enjoying the pressure of conquering the kings of the world game. In the bust-or-boom Eliminator, he bested Sunrisers Hyderabad’s power pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma; he reduced Pat Cummins to the depths of humiliation; he made the world wonder again of his glowing potential. Is it bottomless? The more one thinks one has fathomed his genius, the more unfathomable it looks. His 29-ball 97, 72 off which came in maximums, expedited Rajasthan Royals to 243 for 8, a total Sunrisers Hyderabad fell short by 47 runs. Jofra Archer and Co completed what a 15-year-old had started. Cummins has a career longer than Sooryavanshi’s age; his honours board reads multi-format World Cups, the World Test Championship and Ashes; he has conquered the finest batsmen in the world, crushed their egos and ended their careers. But he would remember with astonishment the night a 15-year-old felled him, a boy not yet out of school schooling him. It took just three balls for the schooling to begin. Cummins had erred …

SRH vs RR: Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma vs Trent Boult among the key battles that could decide Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals | Ipl News

SRH’s powerplay vs Boult The Travishek Express has been halted in the last couple of matches largely due to opener Travis Head’s back-to-back ducks. The swinging white ball from left-arm pacers has rattled Head’s off-stump twice in a row. Against Punjab Kings, Arshdeep Singh and against KKR, it was a Mitchell Starc first-over special. Head got his lines all wrong on both occasions. And waiting to exploit that will be powerplay specialist Trent Boult. SRH openers have been a revelation, when they have clicked in the powerplay, and their season strike rate in the first six overs is a stunning 11.48 runs per over. Boult, on the other hand, has an Economy Rate of 6.71 in the first six overs, and picked up 9 wickets this season. RR’s spinners vs Klaasen Henrich Klaasen hit a couple of jaw-dropping sixes in SRH’s win against PBKS, which were a reminder of why he is so good against spin. Rahul Chahar dropped it slightly short, Klaasen rocked back onto the backfoot and smashed it over midwicket. Harpreet Brar …
