What were the talking points in GT vs RR, IPL 2026 Match 9?
RR rode on half-centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (55 in 36 balls) and Dhruv Jurel (75 in 42) to post 210-6. Sai Sudharsan (73 in 44) led GT’s charge. After 10 overs, GT needed 111 in 60 balls with nine wickets in hand, but the introduction of Ravi Bishnoi (4-41) turned the match on its head. From 107-1, GT slipped to 133-5, and lost wickets on 155 and 161 as well. Rashid Khan (24 in 16), who led in Shubman Gill’s absence, and Kagiso Rabada (23* in 16) took the fight to the RR camp, but in the end, RR prevailed by six runs.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s early onslaught evoked memories of his maiden IPL hundred in 2025 against the same opposition, but this time he fell for an 18-ball 35. Jaiswal and Jurel then made rapid fifties for RR, as did Sai Sudharsan for GT. In a high-scoring match, however, Bishnoi provided the decisive spell, while with 15 to defend in two overs, Jofra Archer and Tushar Deshpande conceded only eight between them.
