GT vs RR, IPL 2026: Mid-innings show

21:19 Local Time, 15:49 GMT: An excellent total on the board for Rajasthan Royals after opting to bat - but once again, the question lingers: is it enough, or have they left 10-15 runs out there? Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provided a solid start. Not as explosive as their previous outing, but still productive, with 69 runs coming in the powerplay. Batting first, the pair were slightly more measured. Rashid Khan broke the stand by removing Sooryavanshi, but Jaiswal carried on smoothly to bring up his fifty. A brief wobble followed with wickets in successive overs, and there was also a costly missed review against Shimron Hetmyer that ended up leaking 18 runs. But the real momentum shift came through Dhruv Jurel. After a watchful start, he accelerated brilliantly, and his 42-ball 75 powered the Royals to a commanding 210. Gujarat Titans will feel they’ve done reasonably well to restrict it to that, especially given how the innings was shaping. But the big question now - how will they manage this chase without skipper Shubman Gill? Back soon with the chase..

Mohammed Siraj to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR, Jadeja finishes with a boundary. Still a good over from Siraj - just 9 runs. He misses the yorker and dishes out a juicy full toss, Jadeja swings hard and though he didn't middle it, the placement was in front of square and splits the two fielders in the deep

Mohammed Siraj to Dhruv Jurel, out Caught by Jos Buttler!! Soft dismissal! No appeal from Siraj or Buttler. But Jurel starts walking. They all knew he had hit that. Another slower ball bouncer, Jurel is almost off the ground while attempting the ramp, gets a feather and Buttler takes a simple catch over his head. A superb knock comes to an end.
