Rabada was instrumental in setting up GT's win over Punjab Kings on May 3, and extended their winning streak to 3 matches.
Kagiso Rabada added to Punjab's woes by dismissing Prabhsimran Singh in the sixth over. Rabada turned the last over of the powerplay into a wicket-maiden.
Half-centurion Wadhera fell to Rabada later in the innings, with the Protea finishing with figures of 2/22 in his four overs.
Sai Sudharsan made a fifty, and GT looked set to chase the total down, but Arshdeep Singh led the Punjab bowlers in a spirited fightback that caused a middle-overs collapse.

Ashwin reserves high praise for Kagiso Rabada
"It feels like he has been spiritually possessed. He is not just bowling fast but letting thunderbolts go. Prabhsimran Singh literally went to a side facing him with his back leg frozen. Rabada set the tempo for GT. The way he bowled to Prabhsimran almost makes the batter want to go away," he said.
"The ball literally goes into his hands for catches. Shreyas Iyer has been on song in this IPL. Yet, Holder troubled him and dismissed him," Ashwin said of Jason Holder, who had been adjudged Player of the Match.
"You are only as good as your bowlers and overall team. When you have Siraj, Rabada, Holder, and Rashid Khan, you'll look good. The bowlers can make a captain look intelligent or foolish. The bowlers in this attack will always bowl to their fields. That itself is half the job done for a captain," said Ashwin.
Ashwin's high praise for Kagiso Rabada is not for nothing. Rabada is currently GT's highest wicket-taker in IPL 2026 and is third on the Purple Cap list.
In fact, it's the first time since 2023 that he has touched the 15-wicket mark in an IPL season.

Both teams have 6 wins from 10 matches, but RR have a vastly superior net run rate. The two teams have met once before this season. On that occasion, RR won a last-over thriller by 6 runs. Kagiso Rabada had surprisingly contributed with the bat as well in that match.
