GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: 10 runs in the first over...

And it's that boy Sooryavanshi again. Jaiswal tucks the first ball through square leg for a single. Siraj then drifts full on to Sooryavanshi's pads, the latter glances it to long leg for a four. He is the late on the flick next ball, no runs. Siraj stays short but on the leg stump line, Sooryavanshi swipes it to the long leg boundary. Siraj changes line, full outside off, Sooryavanshi plays it to long on and takes a single.

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Sooryavanshi vs Siraj, Rabada, Krishna and Rashid

Well, we have seen Vaibhav Sooryavanshi taking Gujarat Titans to the cleaners. At the time, there was no Rabada in GT's bowling lineup. Can that make a difference today? We will see. For now, Sooryavanshi is walking out with Yashasvi Jaiswal, himself a prodigious young talent but a veteran compared to the former.

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: What the captains said...

Rashid Khan: We wanted to bowl first. Gill has a muscle spasm, hopefully he will be back soon. KK (Kumar Kushagra) is playing his first game and look forward to see him play. We played good cricket in the last game as well. Was a good game. We need to bring out 100% here.

Riyan Parag: We are going to be batting first. We got to assess and adapt to different conditions. Hopefully we will put up a good score around 210 and defend it later on. We want to be a team that can play in all conditions. I want it to be a team that is flexible. We don't want to play one brand of cricket. We don't want to be a team that only scores or bowls for 200 runs or 250 runs. I think, like I said, I want us to assess the pitch, play through all conditions that the IPL offers to us, and be good at it. So I think that's the message. Two changes. Tushar Deshpande comes in for Brijesh and Shubham Dubey comes in for Bishnoi.

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Shubman Gill has a muscle spasm

That is all Rashid Khan has said. He didn't specify exactly which part of Gill's body is causing the trouble. As stated earlier, he had pointed to his neck while talking to Parag and it looks like he may have been talking about Gill there.

Well how about it! No Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan is out there with Riyan Parag. And it looks like Rashid has indicated to Parag that Gill has some issue with his neck, we will find out soon enough.

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's incredible stats

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Shubman Gill in Motera...

His 39 off 27 in GT's opening match this season against PBKS may not have been his best but Shubman Gill is a force to reckon with at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Before the start of this season, Gill had scored 1109 runs in 23 matches with three centuries. His highest score of 129 is also the record for the highest T20 score at this venue and he is also the highest run scorer of in the IPL at this venue by some distance. Now that latter stat may not be too noteworthy as yet because this ground has become a regular in the IPL only when Gujarat-based teams have been active, which isn't a lot. But Gill's incredible hunger for runs also seeps into internationals of all kinds when playing here. He has scored 204 runs in four Tests here at an average of 51 with a century and a half-century. In ODIs, he has scored 132 runs in three matches at an average of 44 with a century to his name. He scored an unbeaten 126 off 63 balls in the lone T20I that he played here against New Zealand in February 2023.

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: In Delhi...

MI have finished their innings with a score of 162/6. Suryakumar scored 51 in 36 balls while Naman Dhir made 28 in 31. Mitchell Santner and Corbin Bosch provided some finishing touches but overall, it was a rather sluggish innings from MI? But, one can only truly judge a pitch after both sides have batted so let's see what DC get up to.

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Will CSK have the courage to keep Dhoni on the bench?

That is the question that Sandeep Dwivedi explores in his column today. Chennai Super Kings have lost their first two games – one away, one at home. Early in the season, they have a crisis at hand and it is unlikely that their designated fire-fighter MS Dhoni – out for two weeks because of a calf injury – has it in him to put the house in order. Actually, he can complicate matters, push them further in the maze. READ MORE.

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's method in madness

Ever since Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made his IPL debut against Lucknow Super Giants in the 2025 season, matches involving Rajasthan Royals have had an added sense of anticipation, with everyone eager to see how the teenage sensation would play against different oppositions.

The left-hander has so far delivered against different teams, and a closer look at some of his best innings so far reveals a striking pattern: when Sooryavanshi gets going, a significant chunk of his runs flows through the arc between long-on and square leg. The southpaw has found a zone that he could dominate consistently and force bowlers to alter their plans. READ MORE.

GT vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Meanwhile, in Delhi...

Delhi Capitals have won the toss and chosen to bowl first and well, they are making Mumbai Indians sweat here. Vipraj Nigam dismissed Sherfane Rutherford in the 12th over and that has left MI 86/4 in 12 overs. Suryakumar Yadav, captain for the day in place of the injured Hardik Pandya, is out there with Naman Dhir and DC would know that as long as the former is around, MI have a chance at putting up a mountain at the Kotla.
