Gill and Sai Sudharsan added 118 runs for the opening wicket and completely dominated the RR attack on a flat Jaipur pitch.Sudharsan continued his excellent season with a fluent 55 while Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia finished strongly to propel Gujarat Titans to the highest IPL 2026 total.RR’s bowling struggles were once again exposed, especially in the Powerplay where Jofra Archer endured a rare day off as he conceded 46 runs in three overs. While Ravindra Jadeja briefly slowed down the scoring through the middle overs, Rajasthan could not contain GT’s relentless batting attack.Defending the total, Afghanistan’s star spinner Rashid Khan returned with impressive figures of 4/33 to steal the show, while Jason Holder (3/12) and Kagiso Rabada (2/33) also rose to the occasion as Gujarat Titans restricted RR to 152 in 16.3 overs, scoring Royal a comfortable 77 runs.The worrying trend continues for Rajasthan Royals who have now repeatedly failed to control high-scoring games despite boasting the best bowling numbers of the tournament earlier in the season.
