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

Tushar Deshpande to Ashok Sharma, no run, Rajasthan Royals win by 6 runs. Tushar Deshpande, take a bow! He runs off and does the this-is-my-territory kinda celebration.

Archer runs to his right, slides and hangs on with both hands. Rashid Khan c Jofra Archer b Tushar Deshpande 24(16) [4s-3]
