IPL 2026 Points Table Update: Gujarat Titans missed out on a chance to become the first team to seal qualification to the playoffs in the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they lost their Saturday night fixture against the Kolkata Knight Riders by six 29 runs. Chasing a target of Raghuvanshi finished off unbeaten on 82 off 44 balls, Green was on 52 off 28 when the players walked back for the innings break. The pair had put up a stand of 108 runs in 53 balls for the third wicket. In reply, Sai Sudharsan got off to a quick start but was forced to retire hurt early on. Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler then took their time to settle in after Nishant Sindhu fell for just one run. However, the pair could never really get going and while Gill scored 85 in 49 balls, GT never really looked to be in serious contention to chase the target down.
