Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Rajasthan Royals’ teenage wonderkid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again proved why he is the biggest breakout star of IPL 2026. The 15-year-old produced a sensational 96 off just 47 balls in Qualifier 2 against Gujarat Titans, keeping Rajasthan in the hunt with a fearless display of strokeplay.
DON'T MISS
The young batter narrowly missed out on a century but still etched his name into the record books. His innings helped Rajasthan post a challenging 214/6 and further strengthened his reputation as one of the most exciting young talents in world cricket.
Gill Delivers When It Matters Most
However, when the pressure was at its highest, GT captain Shubman Gill produced a captain’s knock for the ages.
Gill smashed a magnificent 104 off 53 balls and shared a massive 167-run opening partnership with Sai Sudharsan, who contributed a rapid 58. Their partnership completely shifted the momentum and left Rajasthan searching for answers.
Gujarat Titans Storm Into The Final
Chasing 215, Gujarat Titans completed the highest successful chase in their franchise history, reaching the target in just 18.4 overs and sealing a dominant seven-wicket victory. The win sends GT into their third IPL final in five seasons, underlining their consistency as one of the league’s strongest teams.
While Sooryavanshi earned admiration for another record-breaking performance, the night ultimately belonged to Gill. His century not only knocked Rajasthan Royals out of the tournament but also set up a blockbuster IPL 2026 final showdown against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
