The <\/span>Gujarat Titans (GT)<\/span> continued their clinical march in IPL 2026, securing an enormous <\/span>77-run victory<\/span>over the <\/span>Rajasthan Royals (RR)<\/span> on the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, May 9. <\/span><\/p>\n Led by a masterful batting performance from captain <\/span>Shubman Gill<\/span> and a lethal spell from <\/span>Rashid Khan<\/span>, the Titans climbed to second place on the points table, while the Royals suffered a major blow to their playoff aspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n After being put in to bat by RR\u2019s stand-in captain <\/span>Yashasvi Jaiswal<\/span>, Gujarat\u2019s openers set a blistering tone.Shubman Gill and <\/span>Sai Sudharsan<\/span> dismantled the Rajasthan bowling attack with a 118-run opening stand. <\/span><\/p>\n Gill was in sublime form, smashing <\/span>84 runs off 44 balls<\/span> with nine boundaries and three sixes. Sudharsan provided excellent support with a fluent <\/span>55 off 36 balls<\/span>. Late-inning fireworks from <\/span>Washington Sundar (37 off 20)<\/span>* and <\/span>Rahul Tewatia (14 off 4)<\/span> propelled Gujarat to a formidable total of <\/span>229\/4<\/span>, the best rating ever recorded on the venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Listed here are some twitter reactions:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Gujarat Titans wins by 77 runs vs Rajasthan Royals in #IPL2026<\/a> match in Jaipur.<\/p>\n Ravindra Jadeja (38) & Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (36) only ones for #RR<\/a>, as Rashid Khan (4\/33) & Jason Holder (3\/12) did it for #GT<\/a>. #Cricket<\/a> #RRvsGT<\/a> #IPL<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/oKahr2AmYU<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The CricHub (@thecrichub_live) May 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Breaking \ud83d\udea8 #GT<\/a> completely outclassed #RR<\/a> by massive 77 Runs at #JAIPUR<\/a> #RR<\/a> all out on just 152\/10 in 16.3 Overs<\/p>\n Rashid khan took 4\/33 and Jason Holder 3\/12#RRvGT<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/CyOTlJwrAW<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 sports news (@CricUniverse7) May 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n CAPTAIN GILL LEADS FROM THE FRONT! \u2014 Yogesh Goswami (@yogeshgoswami_) May 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n RR ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 152 IN 16.3 OVERS vs GT.<\/p>\n \u2013 Comprehensive victory for Shubman Gill and company.\ud83d\udd25 pic.twitter.com\/eUe6qy75S4<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Maina Singh (@Maina_Singhx77) May 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In last 3 games vs RR, Gill was not in a position to take field for GT in 2 games<\/p>\n Resulted in 2 losses, 1 of which counts under Gill\u2019s name even when he made 84<\/p>\n There was a small injury scare today as well but he stayed determined & won it<\/p>\n Team in top 2, Shubman silences the critics. pic.twitter.com\/ygCBfqw6BQ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Prateek (@prateek_295) May 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n #RRvsGT<\/a> \u2014 Sandeep Attri \ud83d\udea8 (@SandeepAttri_) May 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The great thing about the IPL! \u2728\ud83c\udfcf<\/p>\n From global superstars to rising children \u2014 Rashid Khan sharing useful suggestions with Yash Punja after the RR vs GT clash is what cricket is all about. \ud83d\udc99 pic.twitter.com\/DFVQyllU6V<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Home of T20 (@HomeofT20) May 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Rajasthan\u2019s chase began with high energy but lacked the needed stability. 15-year-old sensation <\/span>Vaibhav Sooryavanshi<\/span> played a fearless cameo, scoring <\/span>36 runs off 16 balls<\/span> and becoming the fastest player to achieve 100 profession sixes in T20 history. <\/span><\/p>\n Nevertheless, once he fell to <\/span>Mohammed Siraj<\/span>, the RR middle order crumbled. <\/span>Ravindra Jadeja<\/span> fought a lone battle with a gradual <\/span>38 off 25 balls<\/span>, and <\/span>Dhruv Jurel<\/span> contributed a fast <\/span>24 off 10 balls<\/span>, but regular wickets prevented any meaningful momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n The Gujarat bowlers were relentless, led by the \u201cPlayer of the Match\u201d <\/span>Rashid Khan<\/span>.
