This is a good shot from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for four. Mohammed Siraj bowls a short ball, and the southpaw slams it over the infield for a boundary through the third-man region. Siraj might go off after this over to receive some treatment, as he looked in pain even after the physio checked him.

RR 54-2 (5)

Gujarat Titans pacer Mohammed Siraj seems to be having some trouble with his right shoulder. He asks for the physio and the play gets stopped for a brief period. The pacer is bowling really well and GT need him to complete his quota of four overs.

RR 49-2 (4.2)

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gets it from the middle of his bat this time. Kagiso Rabada bowls a good-length delivery, and the southpaw slams it down the ground for a biggie. 11 runs come off the over.

RR 45-2 (4)

0, 4, 2, 2, Wd5, 4, 4 - This turns out to be an expensive over from Mohammed Siraj! He gets smashed for three fours by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The pacer also bowls five wides as a bouncer over the batter runs away to the fence.

RR 34-2 (3)

OUT! Kagiso Rabada strikes! Another RR batter bites the dust! The bat flips in the hands of Dhruv Jurel as he plays the shot. The ball lobs to Shubman Gill at mid-off. RR are in huge trouble.

1.2 - Kagiso Rabada bowls it short and wide outside off-stump and Dhruv Jurel slams it away for a four. This is the first boundary for Rajasthan Royals!

Mohammed Siraj ends his first over with a well-directed bouncer to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The southpaw swings his bat and misses. Only three runs and a wicket come off the over.

RR 3-1 (1)

OUT! Yashasvi Jaiswal is GONE! He miscues his pull shot and ends up finding the fielder at deep backward square leg. Prasidh Krishna runs to his right inside the boundary line and takes the catch comfortably.

RR 2-1 (0.4)

As usual for Gujarat Titans, Mohammed Siraj has the new ball in hand. Yashasvi Jaiswal is on strike, while the 15-year-old wonderkid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is at the other end. Here we go...

Siraj begins with a back-of-a-length ball outside off stump. Jaiswal hits it to the player at cover-point. The fielder fumbles, and the RR openers steal a single.

"We would have batted first as well. Forty overs of cricket already on this wicket and it won't behave differently. We have everything to play for, it's a now or never situation. One change: Sai Kishore is back," said GT skipper Shubman Gill.

"We will bat first. Pretty much the same wicket, but I think it slows down at the backend, and we have the bowlers for it. We just need to play better cricket for 40 overs, the best team will win. The support staff have been incredible about recoveries and injuries. Same team," said RR captain Riyan Parag.

Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag wins the toss and opts to bat against Gujarat Titans!

Confusion took place at the toss as GT captain Shubman Gill flipped the coin in the air, but the presenter and the other officials present there failed to hear the call of RR skipper Riyan Parag. Gill had to flip the coin again.

We are just 13 minutes away from the toss! The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first. Also, expect another belter of a track at Mullanpur as we get ready for Qualifier 2 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals.

Amid the fanfare around Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, one Rajasthan Royals, who has been enjoying a stunning run of form, has somehow gone under the radar. Dhruv Jurel has scored 508 runs in the season till now with 6 half-centuries and he will once again be a key performer for his side against Gujarat Titans.

When it comes to their head-to-head record, Gujarat Titans are overwhelming favourites with a 7-3 advantage. However, in the recent past, the record has been 2-2 since 2025.

"I am not a broadcaster at the moment, so won't be able to reveal our plans. I am very excited about the way he is batting. Hopefully, we will be able to get him out him early in the game and we will be able to execute our plans," said GT assistant coach Parthiv Patel ahead of the game.

"But what it is, you will only know when we are on the ground. The way we he is batting people are liking it. I said the same thing last time as well. We should not be talking about his age.

"I think that's something we need to put an end to it. He's been a phenomenal talent just the way he's been playing. And it's great to see him and just from the opposition's point of view, we hope that he doesn't get too many runs."

Gujarat Titans get another shot at reaching the IPL 2026 final after getting a pasting at the hands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Qualifier 1. GT bank heavily on their top three — Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler. If they don’t deliver, the side really doesn’t have the batting depth to turn things around.

Rajasthan Royals are on a roll at the moment, having won four consecutive matches. The side has been relying heavily on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Jofra Archer. Yashasvi Jaiswal has been totally overshadowed by Sooryavanshi's sensational ball striking at the top of the order. Dhuv Jurel has done well at number three but he has been benefited by the head start provided by Sooryavanshi.

In the previous outing between the two teams, Mohammed Siraj did get the better of vaibhav Sooryavanshi with the short ball after being disdainfully slapped for a six. Kagiso Rabada too was at the receiving end of Sooryavanshi's sizzling shot-making.

Both Siraj and Rabada have provided the early breakthroughs through this tournament for GT, but the 15-year-old has raised the bar with an awe- inducing 97 off 29 balls in the Eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

As per Google weather forecast, there is a nine per cent chance of precipitation on matchday.

Meanwhile, AccuWeather forecast indicates that rain will not play any role during the game.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has scored 932 IPL runs so far. If the batter scores 68 more, he could easily become the fastest player in the tournament's history to reach the mark of 1000 IPL runs in terms of balls faced. The teenager has played 402 deliveries in the event so far.

Andre Russell currently holds the record of fastest 1000 IPL runs, having achieved the feat in 545 balls.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is in sensational form this season. He holds the Orange Cap, scoring 680 runs in 15 matches so far in IPL 2026. The southpaw has already broken Chris Gayle's record for most sixes in a single edition and narrowly missed out on the record for the fastest IPL century. Will he complete the unfulfilled task tonight?

Gujarat Titans' potent pace attack will have to stop the marauding boy wonder Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and their traditional-minded top order needs to fire against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2. The Shubman Gill-led side was outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru by a 92-run margin in Qualifier 1, and it will aim not to repeat the same mistakes and put an improved show against RR tonight.
