IPL 2026: GT register their biggest win in terms of runs

Gujarat Titans register their biggest IPL win, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs. Rashid Khan takes 4 wickets as GT defend 230 in Jaipur.

Jaipur, May 10

Gujarat Titans made history on Saturday, registering their biggest win in the Indian Premier League in terms of runs, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs in their fixture at Jaipur.

While defending 230 runs, a tight four-wicket haul from spinner Rashid Khan and a three-wicket haul from Jason Holder helped GT clean up RR for just 152 runs in 16.3 overs.

This has now outclassed GT's 62-run win over the Mumbai Indians (MI) while defending 234 in the 2023 edition qualifier two.

This is also RR's fourth-worst loss in the IPL by runs. A 112-run loss to RCB while chasing 172 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2023 is their biggest loss, as they were skittled out for just 59 runs.

The Royals have endured a poor run at Jaipur, their home venue since last season, having lost seven of their eight matches here since last season.

Coming to the match, GT, put to bat first by RR, registered a 118-run opening partnership between Sai Sudharsan (55 in 36 balls, with six fours and two sixes) and skipper Shubman Gill, who also slammed a 44-ball 84, with nine fours and three sixes. A cameo of 37* in 20 balls (with two fours and three sixes) from Washington Sundar helped GT reach 229/4 in 20 overs.

Brijesh Sharma (2/47) was the leading wicket-taker for RR.

In the chase of 230 runs, RR started with high intent, particularly knocks from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (36 in 16 balls, with three fours and three sixes) and Dhruv Jurel (24 in 10 balls, with a four and two sixes). But Rashid (4/33 in four overs) and Holder (3/12 in 2.3 overs) made sure RR fizzled out quickly for just 152 runs in 16.3 overs.

GT is at the second spot in the points table, with seven wins and four losses, and RR stands at fifth, with six wins and five losses, giving them 12 points.

As a Rajasthan Royals fan, this is really disheartening. 😞 7 losses out of 8 matches at home since last season is a worrying trend. The bowling looked clueless against Gill and Sudharsan, and the batting just collapsed after the initial onslaught. The management needs to figure out why they're struggling so much in Jaipur. Still, credit to GT for a complete performance - they outplayed us in every department.

Washington Sundar's cameo was the difference in the end! 37 off 20 balls is gold dust at the death. And Jason Holder with 3/12 in 2.3 overs - amazing economy rate! This is what makes IPL so exciting - you never know which player will step up on the day. 👍

Terrific bowling from Rashid Khan - 4/33 in this run-fest is phenomenal. But I have to say, RR's batting approach was a bit naive. Yes, 230 is a tough chase, but they kept playing high-risk shots even when the required rate was manageable early on. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's 36 off 16 showed intent, but they needed someone to anchor the innings. Gill's captaincy was spot on - bringing in Holder at the right time was a masterstroke. 🎯

Wow, 77 runs win margin - that's massive in T20! GT's batting depth is scary good - even if the top order fails, they have players like Washington Sundar coming in at 3 down. Shubman Gill is really maturing as a leader, both with his bat and his bowling changes. RR definitely need to sort out their home record - losing 7 out of 8 in Jaipur is just not acceptable for a team of their quality. 😮
