In the IPL 2026 Qualifier 2 match held in Mullanpur, Gujarat Titans triumphed over Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets, securing their place in the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Captain Shubman Gill was the standout performer, scoring a spectacular century with 104 runs off just 53 balls, including 15 fours and three sixes. His partnership with Sai Sudharsan, who added 58 runs, was pivotal as they put together a 167-run opening stand that nearly sealed the game early. Ravichandran Ashwin praised the duo, emphasizing that bowlers must start strong against them or risk being overwhelmed. Earlier, Rajasthan Royals set a challenging target of 215 runs, led by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's impressive 96 runs. Sooryavanshi made history by becoming the fastest player to score 1,000 IPL runs, achieving this milestone in 440 balls, breaking Andre Russell's previous record. The final match is set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
