Rajasthan vs Gujarat, Live Score, Match 52, Indian Premier League, 2026

Yash Punja to Sai Sudharsan, OUT! CAUGHT! Yash Punja provides a much-needed breakthrough for the home side. Sai Sudharsan admonishes himself as he punches his bat. Googly from Punja, full and leaving the left-hander. Sai Sudharsan plants his front foot towards the pitch of the ball and swings at it. The bat turns in his hand and the ball goes off the inner half. It goes flat and straight down the throat of Jofra Archer at long on, who takes the catch close to his chest. End of a 118-run opening stand for GT.

Brijesh Sharma to Shubman Gill, OUT! CAUGHT! Brijesh Sharma has his man. The innovation does not come off for Shubman Gill. Pushes the length up, does Brijesh, outside off. With fine leg inside the circle, Gill walks across the stumps to play the scoop. The ball is too full for that shot and he cannot get under it. Spoons it over short fine leg, where Tushar Deshpande takes a couple of steps back and takes the catch over his right shoulder. RR will hope that this kickstarts their fightback at the death.

Ravindra Jadeja to Jos Buttler, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Ravindra Jadeja gets the big wicket of Jos Buttler. Full and on off at 107.2 kph, Buttler puts his head down and swings to go down the ground. He cuts across the line of the ball and the bat turns in his hand. Slices it high in the air towards long off, where Donovan Ferreira runs in off the ropes to settle under it and does the rest.

Brijesh Sharma to Jason Holder, OUT! CAUGHT! The slower ball does the trick for Brijesh Sharma. Rolls his fingers over the ball and bowls the off-cutter at 109.6 kph, on a nagging length, on off. Holder hangs deep in the crease and swings with a horizontal bat. He fails to get hold of it and the ball balloons towards extra cover, where Yashasvi Jaiswal settles under it on the edge of the ring and gobbles it up.

Kagiso Rabada to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT! The Titans go bang, bang. The short ball does the trick once again, this time for Kagiso Rabada. At 152.1 kph by Rabada, a bumper, across off. Yashasvi Jaiswal swivels for the pull but he is rushed into the shot. Slices it off the lower half in front of mid off. Kagiso thinks about going for the catch, but then leaves it on seeing two men converging. Nishant Sindhu runs forward from cover and takes the catch in front of the incoming Shubman Gill.

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Mohammed Siraj has his hands aloft and lets out a big roar. The crowd goes silent as Sooryavanshi's stay has been cut short. A well-directed short ball by Siraj at 146.6 kph, around the left shoulder. Vaibhav tries to take it on but cannot free his hands in a fashion he would have liked. Skies it up over short fine leg, where Arshad Khan stays side on to take a good catch to his right.

Rashid Khan to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Rashid Khan strikes in his first over and sends Dhruv Jurel packing. He pushes this through quicker at 88.1 kph, just on off. Jurel backs away and tries to cut it away, but misses as the ball skids through and hits the off pole. Jurel's quick cameo comes to an end. Rajasthan Royals are 87/4, needing 143 runs in 75 balls.

Kagiso Rabada to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Kagiso Rabada gets his second and Shimron Hetmyer's lean run in this IPL continues. Rabada clevelry rolls his fingers to take pace off, lands this short of a length and on middle. Hetmyer looks to heave it across the line, but goes through it early and this is also not that short to play that shot. He only manages to get a top edge as the ball goes straight up in the air. Jason Holder at mid on settles under it, moving to his right and pouches it safely. RR are three down inside the Powerplay.

Rashid Khan to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! LBW! A celebrappeal from Rashid Khan and the finger is raised. This looks straight, but Ravindra Jadeja has taken the review. Rashid bowls the leg-break, full and on middle. Jadeja brings his bat out in front for the block but plays down the wrong line. The ball spins back to go past the inside edge and catch him low on the front pad. No bat involved and it is three reds on Ball Tracking, with the ball smashing into the middle stump. RR are now 136/7. Wicket number 4 for Rashid. He has one ball left in his spell. Can he get the fifth?

Rashid Khan to Donovan Ferreira, OUT! CASTLED! Rashid Khan with the double strike, and just like that, the Royals lose half their side. Rashid tosses up the leg-break, full and on middle, turns away a bit. Donovan Ferreira does not pick it at all and plays down the wrong line, as the ball sneaks past the outside edge to rattle the stumps behind. The Royals are in further trouble.

Rashid Khan to Shubham Dubey, OUT! TIMBER! Rashid Khan fights back. Shubham Dubey tries to repeat the dose but it does not come off. Leg-break from Rashid, in line with the off stump, on a good length. Dubey gets down on a knee and has a heave across the line. The ball lands and spins back to beat Shubham on the inside edge before crashing into the off stump. The Royals are 6 down for 115, needing 115 runs off 50 balls.

Jason Holder to Dasun Shanaka, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Jason Holder gets his second now. He bowls the off-cutter, into the surface and around off. Dasun Shanaka looks to pull it away but fails to free his arms as the ball is near his shoulder. Gets a top edge as the ball goes up in the air towards mid off, where Shubman Gill takes a couple of steps to his front and takes an easy catch. GT are just one wicket away from a big win now.

Jason Holder to Jofra Archer, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jason Holder gets among the wickets now. He bangs in another well-directed bumper, on off. Jofra Archer looks to pull again but the ball gets big on him. It takes a thin top edge behind, where Jos Buttler makes no mistake. RR are 141/8, chasing 230 runs.

Jason Holder to Tushar Deshpande, OUT! TAKEN! Fittingly, it is the short ball that wraps up this game. GUJARAT TITANS WIN BY 77 RUNS. Jason Holder bangs this into the pitch again, around off, Tushar Deshpande swings across the line but fails to get on top of the bounce. He ends up slicing it up in the air towards point, where Washington Sundar gets under it to take a fine catch.
