Rahul Tewatia slams a six down the ground! With that shot, Gujarat Titans win by seven wickets against Rajasthan Royals!!! They set up the IPL 2026 final with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

OUT! Washington Sundar is GONE! He hits this one high in the air and finds the long-on fielder. Donovan Ferreira settles under it after taking a few steps inside from the boundary line and comfortably completes the catch.

Washington Sundar continues to play his shots. With the mid-off inside the circle, the southpaw slams Jofra Archer for a four and a six through extra cover. Gujarat Titans need 14 runs in 18 balls.

GT 201-2 (17)

Tushar Deshpande bowls it fuller onto the pads of Washington Sundar and the southpaw flicks it away for a six. The ball goes over the ropes at cow corner. Gujarat Titans need 24 off as many balls to enter the final.

GT 191-2 (16)

Shubman Gill is OUT! He departs for 104 off 53 balls! It is a fuller ball from Jofra Archer, and the GT batter misses it while trying to flick it away. He walks back to the dugout after scoring a match-defining century. Gujarat Titans need 33 runs in 30 balls. They should win this easily.

GT 182-2 (15)

Shubman Gill dances down the track and slams Ravindra Jadeja's delivery for a four. With it, the Gujarat Titans captain races to his fifth IPL century in just 47 balls. What a knock this is from the classy player! GT need 40 runs in 39 balls.

GT 176-1 (13.4)

OUT! Would you believe it? Sai Sudharsan hits the bat at his stumps again. This is the second consecutive time that the batter gets out hit-wicket. It is a fuller ball from Brijesh Sharma outside off-stump and Sudharsan slices it through the left of short third for a four but his bat slips out of his hands and falls on his stumps.

Sai Sudharsan hit wkt b Brijesh Sharma 58(32) [4s-8 6s-1]

GT 167-1 (12.5)

Sai Sudharsan races to his fifty in 26 balls! He gets there with a six on the first ball of the over bowled by Yash Raj Punja. Seventeen runs come off the over as Shubman Gill later smashes the spinner for two fours as well.

GT 144-0 (11)

Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have become the pair with most 100-run stands in Men's T20 cricket for any wicket. This is the 11th such partnership for the duo in 48 innings, surpassing the record of 10, which was jointly held by Virat Kohli-Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli-AB de Villiers and Babar Azam-Mohammad Rizwan.

Shubman Gill slams his fifty in 30 balls! He gets there with a four and follows it with yet another boundary. This is a brilliant knock from the Gujarat Titans captain. Along with Sai Sudharsan, he has provided his side a terrific start in the chase. 

GT 108-0 (9)

Gujarat Titans need 124 runs in 72 balls. They are truly in control of this game. Both openers -- Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan -- are close to their respective fifties. Rajasthan Royals badly need a wicket to make a comeback in the game.

GT 91-0 (8)

Ten come off the Tushar Deshpande over. Sai Sudharsan slams the RR pacer for two fours. Gujarat Titans are off to a brilliantly start in chase. They need 146 runs in 84 balls.

GT 69-0 (6)

Nandre Burger bowls another expensive over. He leaks eleven runs in it. It could have been an economical one, but the pacer bowls a bouncer on the final delivery that flies over the wicketkeeper for four byes. The boundary helps GT cross the 50-run mark.

GT 52-0 (4)

Nandre Burger nearly gets a wicket there but Donovan Ferreira drops the tough chance. Sai Sudharsan miscues the ball high in the air. Ferreira runs back from square leg but drops the catch. 

GT 42-0 (3.1)

Nandre Burger starts with a wide ball that runs away for a four, but he makes a decent comeback after that. A total of 11 runs come off the over. Gujarat Titans are off to a flying start in the chase of 215.

GT 31-0 (2)

This turns out to be an extremely expensive first over from Jofra Archer. His pace aided the shot-making of Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill as the Gujarat Titans openers smashed two fours each. Nineteen runs come off the over.

GT 19-0 (1)

Jofra Archer begins with a short ball outside off-stump and Sai Sudharsan slams it for a four through the point region. The intent of Gujarat Titans is clear from the first ball in the chase!

1, 6, 6, 6, 2, 6 - This turns out to be an extremely expensive over from Rashid Khan. Donovan Ferreira takes on the spinner and smashes him for four sixes, propelling Rajasthan Royals over 200. He stays unbeaten on 38 off just 11 deliveries.

RR 214-6 (20)

Prasidh Krishna concedes 11 runs in his final over. Last six balls coming up for Rajasthan Royals. Can they cross the 200-run mark?

RR 187-6 (19)

OUT! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi misses yet another century! The southpaw hits the Kagiso Rabada delivery and gets caught out at third man. Sooryavanshi misses out on a ton by a narrow margin for a consecutive time.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c Washington Sundar b Kagiso Rabada 96(47) [4s-8 6s-7]

RR 172-6 (17.2)

Washington Sundar gets an over again and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi slams him for two sixes. The southpaw hits a maximum down the ground on the second delivery and finishes the over with another biggie over the deep backward square leg. 

RR 171-5 (17)

4, 0, 6, 4, 2, 0 - Vaibhav Sooryavanshi slams Jason Holder for two fours and a six in this over. A total of 16 runs come off it. The teenager has moved to 83 off 43 balls. He is just 17 away from his third IPL century.

RR 154-5 (16)

A four through extra cover! With this, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi becomes the fastest batter to score 1,000 IPL runs in terms of balls. He gets there in just 440 deliveries, surpassing the previous record of 545 balls by Andre Russell by a huge margin.

RR 142-5 (15.2)

Kagiso Rabada gets smashed for a six on the first ball by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi but the South African pacer makes a good comeback and concedes only three singles in the remaining five balls. A total of nine come off the over.

RR 129-5 (14)

This is a fiery bouncer from Kagiso Rabada and it hits Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on the helmet. The physio runs in to check on the player.

RR 127-5 (13.2)

A single on the leg side, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi races to his half-century. He gets there in 31 balls — quite uncharacteristic, it seems — but, from the game's perspective, this is a crucial fifty from the 15-year-old wonderkid.

RR 120-5 (13)

OUT! Prasidh Krishna strikes! It's a 146.3 kmph fuller-length ball outside off stump, and Jofra Archer edges it to the wicketkeeper. Rajasthan Royals are five down. They have all their hopes pinned on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is close to his fifty.

Jofra Archer c Jos Buttler b Prasidh Krishna 7(4) [6s-1]

RR 118-5 (12.4)

OUT! Jason Holder strikes! It is a short ball from the right-arm pacer and Dasun Shanaka gets an edge to the wicketkeeper. He tries to pull it but misses due to some extra bounce on the delivery, something that Holder is used to from the surface.

Dasun Shanaka c Jos Buttler b Jason Holder 3(9)

RR 109-4 (11.3)

Prasidh Krishna nearly had the wicket of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi but Sai Sudharsan drops the catch. The RR opener mishits the ball in the air but fielder, coming in from deep square leg, drops it. You need to take these catches.

RR 108-3 (10.2)

Riyan Parag is GONE! Jason Holder bowls it a tad fuller onto the stumps and the RR captain flicks it into the hands of Kagiso Rabada at deep mid-wicket. Rajasthan Royals are three down!

Riyan Parag c Kagiso Rabada b Jason Holder 11(6) [4s-1 6s-1]

RR 101-3 (9.3)

4, 6, 1, 6, 1, 0 - This is a poor start for Rashid Khan! Ravindra Jadeja walks out retired hurt before this over and new batter Riyan Parag smashes the Afghan spinner for a four and a six. Later, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi too slams a biggie. 

RR 100-2 (9)

This is a good shot from Ravindra Jadeja. He jumps out of his crease but Jason Holder bowls a short ball. The southpaw adjusts well and slams it through the backward point for a four.

After that shot, a strategic time-out has been called.

With two left-handed batters in the middle, off-spinner Washington Sundar gets introduced into the attack. He bowls well and concedes only six singles in his first over.

RR 76-2 (7)

Poor bowling from Prasidh Krishna! The pacer keeps the fine leg inside the circle and bowls short balls to Ravindra Jadeja on the body to get smacked for a six and two fours through the same region. 16 come off the over.

RR 70-2 (6)

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.

Dhruv Jurel c Shubman Gill b Kagiso Rabada 7(6) [4s-1]

RR 9-2 (1.5)

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.

Yashasvi Jaiswal c Prasidh Krishna b Mohammed Siraj 1(2)

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 Impact Subs: Shubham Dubey, Sushant Mishra, Aman Rao Perala, Ravi Bishnoi, Tushar Deshpande.

Gujarat Titans Impact Subs: Rahul Tewatia, Glenn Phillips, Anuj Rawat, Kumar Kushagra, Arshad Khan.

Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel(w), Riyan Parag(c), Donovan Ferreira, Dasun Shanaka, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Brijesh Sharma, Yash Raj Punja

Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(w), Nishant Sindhu, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj

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.

In a massive update, Rishabh Pant has resigned as Lucknow Super Giants captain. The franchise revealed this in a statement on social media. Check it out here:

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.

Hello everyone, welcome to NDTV's live blog for IPL 2026 Qualifier 2.
