Rashid Khan to Ravindra Jadeja, out Lbw!! Rashid Khan with his fourth wicket of the match. Another one bites the dust. It's an unsuccessful review by Rajasthan Royals. Was a leg-break and Ravindra Jadeja was on his front-foot to defend. Gets pinned on the pads and the umpire reckons he's out. Pitching in line, impact in line and it's crashing into the stumps. He tried to get Jadeja out in a similar way, but couldn't succeed on the first two occasions. Gets him on the 3rd though. Ravindra Jadeja lbw b Rashid Khan 38(25) [4s-3 6s-2]

Rashid Khan to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX, tossed up delivery on leg, Ravindra Jadeja goes down on his knee and sweeps this over deep square leg. Was the shorter side and Ravindra Jadeja cleared it comfortably

Rashid Khan to Shubham Dubey, out Bowled!! Rashid Khan on a roll. That's his 3rd wicket of the night. He's back to his best this season.

Rashid still has an over remaining after this one. Shubham Dubey b Rashid Khan 15(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

Cricbuzz Comm Box: IPL 2026 | RR vs GT, 2nd innings

Rashid Khan to Shubham Dubey, FOUR, oh no! The ball was just strolling along at deep mid-wicket, Sai Kishore got there, got both hands but didn't bend in time and allowed the ball to touch the rope. Rashid turns away from that sight in disappointment and Sai fumes at himself. Was just a gentle nudge to the on-side

Rashid Khan to Donovan Ferreira, out Bowled!! Castled! GT are now looking at a massive win that will do a world of good to their NRR. Ferreira was on the front foot looking to flick. He thought it will spin into him but it was a leggie and it spun away to beat the bat and hit middle and off. Rashid Khan in the wickets makes GT even more formidable. Donovan Ferreira b Rashid Khan 4(2) [4s-1]

Rashid Khan to Donovan Ferreira, FOUR, starts off with a boundary! Shortish delivery, Ferreira rocks back and pulls in front deep mid-wicket and it off the mark in style

Rashid Khan to Dhruv Jurel, out Bowled!! This is a body blow! Jurel was batting so well but the timeout broke his flow and the star spinner out does him. Googly on the shorter side, Jurel backed away to cut, missed as it sneaked under the ball and the off stump was disturbed. Dhruv Jurel b Rashid Khan 24(10) [4s-1 6s-3]

Sai Kishore to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR, cut away, splits backward point and cover-point. Oh the fielder dives to the right from deep point, gets a hand on it but the ball still escapes for four. Flatter delivery outside off stump, bowled wide because of the field but Jadeja found the gap

Kagiso Rabada to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR, now he goes in front of square and gets four more. They have ended the powerplay on a high despite three wickets

Kagiso Rabada to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX, oh ho ho! Jadeja attacking first ball and gets a brilliant maximum over long leg. They are putting on a bold face here despite early wickets. Slot ball, Jadeja whips it over the boundary

Kagiso Rabada to Shimron Hetmyer, out Caught by Jason Holder!! You wondered why they sent Hety in so early the moment he came in. Came in for Riyan Parag so maybe they didn't want to shuffle the batting order but the plan didn't work. Into the wicket from KG, Hetmyer loses shape on the shot and mistimes it high towards mid-on where he finds the bucket hands of Holder. RR in a bit of trouble early on! Shimron Hetmyer c Jason Holder b Kagiso Rabada 6(7) [4s-1]

Kagiso Rabada to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, Kagiso Rabada misses the yorker and offers a low full toss, Hetmyer gets under it and scoops it over mid-wicket for his first boundary

How do #RCB & #PBKS' losses affect the playoff race?

Mohammed Siraj to Dhruv Jurel, SIX, gee, he's sending them longer and deep into the stands with every hit! He's taking apart Siraj here. Had a trigger to movement slightly back away. The bowler tried to follow him with a short ball and it's a great pull shot over square leg this time. 22 off the over

Mohammed Siraj to Dhruv Jurel, SIX, that's a thumping pull shot! He's on a mission already! 143.4kph short delivery, Jurel picks the length early, watches the ball nicely onto the bat and pulls if out of the middle of the bat over backward square leg for one of the shots of the day

Mohammed Siraj to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, now he shows the maturity to rise tall to a short of length delivery and use the pace on the ball with no third man in place. Got nicely on top of the bounce to slice the cut to the right of Sai Sudharsan in the ring

Mohammed Siraj to Dhruv Jurel, SIX, clean, crunchy hit! Two early wickets but it doesn't deter Jurel from playing a big hit. Slot ball, Jurel moves across and whacks it over mid-wicket for a maxi

Kagiso Rabada to Yashasvi Jaiswal, out Caught by Nishant Sindhu!! This is high and taken at extra-cover. Now KG celebrates with a roar and a double fist pump. 10, 6 and now 3 - those are the scores Yashasvi Jaiswal has recorded in Jaipur this season. Clearly hasn't been a happy hunting ground for him this year. Shortish delivery from Kagiso Rabada, Jaiswal mistimed the slog, skied it high and GT have their man. Yashasvi Jaiswal c Nishant Sindhu b Kagiso Rabada 3(4)

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, out Caught by Arshad Khan!! It's a skiddy bouncer at 146.6kph. Gave it all he had for this ball and unsettled the youngster. No wonder he's roaring with great intensity with the eyes almost popping out of the socket. Always a pleasure for the bowler when he bowls an effort ball with a plan and it works. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was totally rushed on the pull but this bumper that was around middle and off, top edge flew high and to the right of short fine leg who did well to judge it well and into his hands. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c Arshad Khan b Mohammed Siraj 36(16) [4s-3 6s-3]

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, now he's ready for the yorker and literally flicked the drive straight past the ump. KG slides across into the frame last second at long-on but the ball races away. Gill gave up early at mid-off as he knew he couldn't cut off the angle

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, smart! They removed third man so the kid spotted that, let this short of length delivery come to him and just guided it between short third and backward point for a deflating boundary

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, smacked! Never allow him to free the arms. Short of a length delivery just outside off stump, Vaibhav gets under the ball and almost hit on the flattest sixes in cricket. Just bounced in front of the deep cover fence

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, this is a mishit, almost a top edge and would you believe it, what looked like a catch has gone for six. GT didn't have a man at deep mid-wicket though. This time Kagiso Rabada direct the bouncer around off stump and makes him fetch the pull slightly so the batter couldn't middle

Kagiso Rabada to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, short, at the body and allowing him to access the leg-side. That's asking for trouble. He quickly swivelled to send this pull so fine over fine leg

Mohammed Siraj to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, gee, this guy is the perfect example for no nonsense attitude. Doesn't matter if you are Bumrah, Hazlewood or Siraj. It's going out of the park if you dish it out in his zone. Vaibhav lets this full ball come and whips it high over long-on

Tushar Deshpande to Washington Sundar, SIX, brilliant lofted drive over cover! The off-cutting slower ball outside off stump but it's not hidden well by the bowler. Washi stands back having spotted the variation, waited and thumped it over long-off for a good-looking six

Tushar Deshpande to Rahul Tewatia, SIX, allow him to play behind square on the on-side at your own mercy. Short of a length delivery following the batter as he backed away. The bowler couldn't hide the ball as fine leg was up in the circle and Tewatia easily scooped it over the infield

Tushar Deshpande to Jason Holder, FOUR, the plan was to bowl the wide yorker, Holder lofts it over cover so easily and puts early pressure on the bowler

Brijesh Sharma to Washington Sundar, SIX, this is high, Shanaka doesn't do well at the deep backward square leg. Was running close to the rope so he was slightly skeptical. Tried to fetch it with his right hand but the effort wasn't quick enough and it goes over the rope. Brijesh Sharma offered a slot ball and it was put away

Brijesh Sharma to Washington Sundar, FOUR, oh he's flicked this in the gap between deep mid-wicket and long-on. Brijesh Sharma missed his yorker and Washi got enough bat on it

Brijesh Sharma to Shubman Gill, out Caught by Tushar Deshpande!! This is mistimed and Tushar Deshpande takes a good catch looking over his shoulder and running back from short fine leg. Brijesh Sharma followed Gill as he moved across the stumps to scoop it over short fine leg but the batter couldn't get under the ball properly so he ended up scooping it with no timing.

Brijesh Sharma to Shubman Gill, SIX, the yorker missed outside off so Gill says thank you very much and lofts the drive handsomely over cover. Great start after the break

Jofra Archer to Washington Sundar, SIX, he's picked the slower ball nicely out of the hands and smacked it high and handsome over long-off. When a batter poses after playing the shot, it's a clear sign that he's middled it with great balance and enjoyed the hit

Jadeja’s versatility across conditions is a luxury for any captain: Rohan

Donovan Ferreira to Shubman Gill, FOUR, just misses the hole and that's good enough for Gill to smack it past mid-wicket. Gill waited for the ball to come and whipped it through the on-side to split the fielders in the deep

Donovan Ferreira to Washington Sundar, FOUR, full and outside off stump, Washi comes on the front foot and lofts nicely through cover. Lovely inside-out loft with a long reach. Lovely side angle of the shot

Ravindra Jadeja to Jos Buttler, out Caught by Donovan Ferreira!! It's in the air, taken at long-off. Jadeja puts Buttler in the pocket. That's how he celebrates his wickets these days. Jos will be kicking himself for missing out on what potentially was a hit me ball as well. Full and outside off stump, Jos wanted a thump down the ground. Mistimed it high and holed out to long-off just like Sai. Jos Buttler c Donovan Ferreira b Ravindra Jadeja 13(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

Yash Raj Punja to Shubman Gill, FOUR, the reverse sweep from Gill. Flatter and outside off stump, Gill gets under it and sends it over backward point. Not often that you see Shubman Gill play the reverse sweep

Ravindra Jadeja to Shubman Gill, SIX, in the airrrr, straight to Hetymer and he palms it over for six. Full and on the leg stump, Gill goes for the slog-sweep, hits it flatter and straighter towards deep mid-wicket. Hety tried to catch it reverse cup style and made a mess of it

Ravindra Jadeja to Jos Buttler, FOUR, full and in the slot and Jos goes inside out through cover for a lovely boundary. Poor ball from Ravindra Jadeja to start with. In the slot and punished

Yash Raj Punja to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Jofra Archer!! In the airrr, taken at long-on. Sai is livid he didn't middle it properly. Was in the slot to be put away, Sai wanted to muscle it down the ground. Gets it on the inside half of the bat instead and holes out to Archer. Sai angrily punches his left hand with the right glove before walking off. A job well done though! RR finally gave an opening? Can they make more dents here? Sai Sudharsan c Jofra Archer b Yash Raj Punja 55(36) [4s-6 6s-2]

Gujarat on top as openers dominate | Rajasthan need quick wickets

Brijesh Sharma to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, more runs for Sai Sudharsan. This was a low full toss outside off and Sai Sudharsan crunched it through covers with a glorious drive. Playing proper cricketing shots and scoring at almost 14-runs an over, that's pretty impressive

Brijesh Sharma to Shubman Gill, FOUR, yorker length delivery at the stumps. In fact, it got converted into a yorker as Shubman Gill advanced down the wicket. Tries to squeeze it out, ends up getting a bottom edge towards the third man fence. Nothing wrong with that delivery, hasn't been Rajasthan's day so far

Can Kolkata still qualify for playoffs? Answered!

Tushar Deshpande to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, haven't seen a poorer bowling performance by a team this season. In terms of the line they've bowled. Yet another loose delivery down the leg-side and Sai Sudharsan flicks it over short fine leg for a boundary. They need to start bowling the right line and right length before it gets too late

Tushar Deshpande to Shubman Gill, FOUR, Shubman Gill joins the act. Advances down the wicket and carves this shortish delivery through backward point for four runs. His first boundary of the match

Brijesh Sharma to Sai Sudharsan, SIX, dispatched! A slower delivery by Brijesh Sharma, right into the slot, Sai Sudharsan picks the length to perfection, waits for the slower one to dip and whips it over wide long-on for half-a-dozen. That was a flat six
