Vaibhav Sooryavanshi missed out on another knockout hundred by a very slim margin after he was dismissed in a similar setup against Kagiso Rabada, replicating his dismissal against SRH's Praful Hinge in the Eliminator.
Rajasthan Royals looked in absolute control till the 17th over of the game, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi inching closer to another magnificent hundred. This time the hundred was not a brisk knock but was rather a composed and mature display from the youngster.
A very unlikely innings from the Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi came to an end when Kagiso Rabada returned with his final over of the match. Sooryavanshi started off slowly as the timing was not setting right within the powerplay.
He got off to his half-century off 31 balls, the slowest by his standards, as he was almost at the brink of a century, having played three fewer balls in the last match at this same venue. However, Sooryavanshi latched onto the next few balls he faced and scored 46 runs off just 16 balls.
Kagiso returned with the hard length and banged it short outside the off-stump, and Sooryavanshi clearly lost his shape while attempting to play his infamous tennis shot that got him so much success this game. However, he mistimed it and was caught cleanly by Prasidh Krishna at third man.
While leaving the field, he was absolutely frustrated and threw away his gloves out of frustration.
Sooryavanshi break Sai Sudharsan's IPL record; Misses out on the top spot to Shaun Marsh
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is truly the greatest talent Indian cricket has ever witnessed at his age. The way he clears the fence and the mentality the child prodigy has shown throughout the IPL 2026 season makes him an asset over many greats.
With the runs scored during the Gujarat Titans match in Qualifier 2, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi went past 1000 runs in his IPL career and broke records of several greats of the game. He became the fastest Indian to reach 1000 runs in the history of the IPL, reaching the milestone off just 23 innings, breaking the former record of Sai Sudharsan (25).
He is also the fastest in terms of balls taken to complete those 1000 runs, going past the great Andre Russell. He is only behind Shaun Marsh in the list of batters fastest to 1000 runs in the IPL, while leaving behind the GT batting coach, Matthew Hayden.
Donovan Ferreira wrecks GT's plans to settle for a comfortable 200-run chase
After Sooryavanshi's dismissal, the Gujarat Titans would have been relieved to an extent that the Royals could be successfully restricted to a score well within 200 runs in their innings. With Prasidh bowling a good 19th over, the aim looked gettable.
However, Donovan Ferreira, who had just smashed some boundaries until then, had some different plans up their sleeves. A 200-run chase has been chased only twice in IPL playoffs, and Ferreira helped the Royals take the leap.
He hit the great Rashid Khan for four gigantic sixes in the final over of the game and scored 27 runs off him, taking the Royals to a respectable 214, which changed the scoreboard dynamics for the Royals as well as the Titans. He finished on 38* off just 11 balls.
