The Rajasthan Royals beat the Gujarat Titans by six runs in a nail-biting contest at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in IPL 2026.
Winning the toss and electing to bat, the Royals got to 201/5 at the end of their 20 overs. The Royals started brilliantly, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi putting on a 70-run opening stand. Dhruv Jurel then took on after the dismissal of Vaibhav, holding the Royals innings till the end with a blistering 75-run knock off just 42 balls.
Despite losing wickets around him after Jaiswal fell for 55, Jurel took the innings on and ensured the Royals reached a competitive total. Kagiso Rabada, with two wickets, was the standout bowler for the Titans.
In response, the Titans started well, with a 78-run partnership between the openers Sai Sudharsan and Kumar Kushagra in Shubman Gill’s absence. After Kushagra fell, Ravi Bishnoi ran riot over the Titans, picking up four big wickets, including a double-wicket one, denting the progress of the Titans. He finished with figures of 4/41, his best in the IPL.

Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada came together with 50 needed off 32 balls, and the pair took it to the last over, but Tushar Deshpande held his nerves to defend 11 runs and lead the Royals to a narrow victory.
