Rajasthan Royals produced a sensational finish with the bat in IPL 2026 Qualifier 2 against Gujarat Titans, powered by a brutal late assault from Donovan Ferreira that completely changed the momentum of the knockout clash in New Chandigarh. After losing Yashasvi Jaiswal in the very first over to Mohammed Siraj, RR rebuilt steadily through the explosive Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Ravindra Jadeja.
Gujarat Titans had started strongly with both Siraj and Kagiso Rabada striking early, but Rajasthan Royals refused to let the pressure affect their aggressive approach. Sooryavanshi once again played with remarkable confidence, continuing his extraordinary IPL 2026 form after his memorable 97 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator. His fearless batting kept RR in control during the middle overs and laid the foundation for a massive total in the high-pressure contest.
However, the biggest turning point arrived in the final over when Donovan Ferreira unleashed complete carnage against Rashid Khan. Widely regarded as one of the best T20 bowlers in the world, Rashid found himself under relentless attack from the South African power-hitter.
