NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals continued their impressive start to IPL 2026, registering their second consecutive wins on Saturday. Led by Riyan Parag, RR defeated Gujarat Titans, while Delhi Capitals got the better of five-time champions Mumbai Indians. The two teams now occupy the top two spots on the points table with four points each, separated only by net run rate.
For Gujarat Titans, it was a second straight defeat in the tournament. How RR won: Rajasthan Royals held their nerve in a thriller to beat Gujarat Titans by six runs. Despite a fighting knock from Sai Sudharsan and a late push from Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada, RR spinner Ravi Bishnoi’s four-wicket haul turned the game in their favour.
Chasing a stiff target, GT needed 11 runs in the final over, but Tushar Deshpande kept his composure, conceding just four runs and dismissing Rashid Khan (24 off 16), who had stitched a crucial 43-run stand with Rabada (23* off 16). Deshpande delivered a superb final over, consistently hitting the blockhole and bowling wide yorkers with precision, as RR edged past GT in a nail-biting finish. It marked Royals’ second successive win, while the Ashish Nehra-coached Titans slumped to back-to-back losses.
