Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals, 9th Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - Player Highlights

Rashid Khan to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, out Caught by Glenn Phillips!! The stand-in skipper does it so well. Shortish delivery on the stumps, Vaibhav rocks back to pull, is rushed on the shot so doesn't time it well. GP settles under it at deep mid-wicket and takes an easy catch. Not his usual innings but still did the job for his team and drags himself off the field disappointed. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c Glenn Phillips b Rashid Khan 31(18) [4s-5 6s-1]

Prasidh Krishna to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, no run, good length delivery angling in, Vaibhav defends off the back foot

Prasidh Krishna to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 1 run, fullish delivery outside off stump, Vaibhav drives to cover and gets off strike

Ashok Sharma to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 1 run, 149.6kph short of length delivery, Vaibhav taps it to mid-off

Ashok Sharma to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, audacious. This is a express bowler so he was hanging back to upper cut it and give the ball direction over backward point. The timing was so good and this was delivered around 149kph so it took the ball all the way

Ashok Sharma to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, dropped but this is even tougher than the previous one. 147.4kph short of length delivery, Vaibhav threw everything at it so the outside edge was thick and went towards first slip. Buttler dived full length and got his left hand to it, parried it wide of short third man. Oh dear, Siraj has rolled over the ball trying to stop the boundary with the slide. Looks like he's hurt his groin area. Physio takes him on the sidelines for some treatment

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 1 run, direct-hit from Rashid could have been curtains. Vaibhav just took off after driving this length delivery straight to mid-off. Rashid took aim at the bowler's end but missed

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, lovely! The way he delayed the shot by opening the bat face to get it over point was commendable. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Vaibhav wanted to get under it. Was pace off from KG, so Vaibhav had to wait that extra bit and he managed to slice it over the infield for four

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, wide, nice steepler but too much height for me says the square leg ump and KG has a polite enquiry about it

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, no run, yorker just outside off stump, Vaibhav digs it out to mid-wicket

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, no run, short of length delivery, punchy back foot defence to the off-side

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, uppish and safe! Didn't time this loft really well as the bat turned in his hands. Not quite full not quite short so Vaibhav couldn't get under the ball properly. Luckily for him he managed to clear mid-off and the ball ran away to the fence

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, no run, full and on the stumps, Vaibhav mistimes the drive to mid-on

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, wide, just as you thought they were bowling hard lengths, Kagiso Rabada looks for swing and bowls full down the leg-side. Very lucky that Vaibhav didn't tickle this fine

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, no run,short of length just outside off stump, Vaibhav defends off the back foot towards cover-point

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Vaibhav dabs to third man

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 1 run, full and bit of shape back in, Vaibhav drives to long-on

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, second gift of the over. Short of a length down the leg-side. The coach won't be happy with that line from his senior pro when there is no protection at fine leg. Vaibhav gets inside the line and pulls this really fine and collects his second boundary

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, no run, short of length delivery on the stumps, Vaibhav looks to flick, misses, gets hit on the pad. Pitched outside leg for LBW

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, that's a gift of a length ball on the pads from Siraj. Vaibhav didn't have to do much with no fine leg in place, just glanced it fine and he is away with a first ball four
