Sudharsan hit 11 fours and five sixes in his innings, and was dismissed on 100 immediately after bringing up his century by Josh Hazlewood. With Jos Buttler still at the crease and having lost just two wickets, GT are in a good position to post a big total on the board.

Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan brought up his third century in the IPL against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday.
Sudharsan scored his first century in the IPL against CSK in 2024, before he scored his second century against DC in 2025.
Sudharsan brought up his century in 57 balls, smashing the RCB bowlers to all parts of the park. It was a typical innings from the 24-year-old, starting his innings cautiously and consolidating, before unleashing his shots and upping the ante after he settled.

A scintillating century by Sai Sudharsan was not enough as half centuries from Virat Kohli (81 off 44 balls) and Devdutt Padikkal (55 off 27 balls) helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeat Gujarat Titans by five wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday night.
Batting first, GT posted 205 thanks to Sudharsan’s innings (100 of 58 balls), his third century overall in the IPL. GT looked well set to amass 230 at the halfway stage of the first innings.
But some tight bowling by the RCB bowlers in the back end of the innings, not conceding a single boundary in the last four, helped the home side pull things back.
The second innings would have panned out very differently had Washington Sundar held onto a simple catch when Kohli was batting at 0, but as it happened, the opening batter made the visitor pay for the costly drop.
Chasing totals is Kohli’s bread and butter and it was just not Kohli, but also Padikkal from the other end who managed the pace of the chase to perfection, unleashing the big shots at regular intervals to leave the middle order with very little to do.
GT staged a brief fightback in the back end of the innings by dismissing Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma in quick succession, but Krunal Pandya and Tim David took RCB home.
#IPL #familiar #middleorder #collapse #hurts #Gujarat #Titans">IPL 2026: A familiar middle-order collapse hurts Gujarat Titans yet again
The familiar script played out yet again in this edition of the IPL as Gujarat Titans’ brittle middle-order caved in without a fight against the Mumbai Indians.
On a day when Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler failed to fire, none of the remaining Titans batters showed the resilience required in a demanding chase. The collective failure prompted batting coach Matthew Hayden to label it a “horrible day” for his side.
The most worrying aspect wasn’t just the defeat, but the manner of it. The Titans couldn’t even bat out their 20 overs, as their innings rapidly unravelled.
The result also dealt a blow to their Net Run Rate and reignited concerns over an under-performing middle-order comprising Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan.
Only Washington managed to score at a brisk rate, while Phillips and Tewatia struggled to get going and their strike rates were well below the demands of modern T20 cricket. “The middle order was undoubtedly exposed,” Hayden admitted, pointing to the early damage in the PowerPlay.
“The thing about the PowerPlays is that you can’t win from there, especially in a run chase, but you can definitely lose it. And we lost it in the PowerPlay,” Hayden said.
The early dismissals of Sai Sudharsan, Buttler and Gill left the middle order with too much to do — a scenario Hayden believes the side must avoid. He stressed that players like Tewatia and Shahrukh are built for impact, not accumulation, and sending them in too early only adds pressure.
So far, Shahrukh has scored 35 runs, while Tewatia has chipped in with just 49 runs. “We are putting a lot of pressure on the middle-order. When you look at how the middle-order operates, it’s vastly different from how the top three handle those preparations. They are batting for impact,” Hayden said.
It was a dominant show from the Mumbai bowlers. Mitchell Santner marked his return with two key wickets, removing Washington Sundar and Glenn Phillips, while Impact substitute Ashwani Kumar kept the pressure on with four wickets. With the bowlers maintaining discipline, the Titans’ fragile middle-order was exposed once again.
Earlier, Mumbai’s innings began shakily. Debutant Danish Malewar lasted just four deliveries, while Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav also fell early, leaving it at 45 for three in the Powerplay. Kagiso Rabada remained the biggest threat, consistently breaching the 150kph mark .
However, the recovery was orchestrated by Naman Dhir, whose composed 45 laid the platform in a 52-run stand with Tilak Varma. Tilak then took complete control, while skipper Hardik Pandya provided stability in an 81-run stand, ensuring MI returned to winning ways after four successive defeats.

Tilak Varma found his form when it mattered most, producing a scintillating maiden IPL century to power Mumbai Indians to a commanding 99-run victory over Gujarat Titans on Monday.
After a string of underwhelming outings, Tilak began cautiously before shifting gears dramatically, finishing unbeaten on 101 off 45 balls (8×4, 7×6).
Much to the delight of a 40,000-strong crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium, he went on a rampage in the final six overs, smashing 82 runs off just 23 deliveries. Mumbai Indians plundered 96 runs in that phase to post a formidable 199 for five and seize complete control of the contest.
Tilak led the charge with ruthless precision, hammering 26 runs in an over from Ashok Sharma before dismantling Prasidh Krishna with calculated aggression.
He reached his century with a boundary off the final ball of the innings, his animated celebration reflecting both relief and redemption. The knock also equalled the joint-fastest hundred for MI, matching Sanath Jayasuriya.
In response, Gujarat Titans faltered early and never recovered. Jasprit Bumrah struck with the very first ball, removing Sai Sudharsan, and the middle order failed to deliver.
With Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill falling cheaply, the chase lost direction as wickets fell at regular intervals. The Titans were eventually bowled out for 100, unable to mount any sustained resistance.

Gujarat Titans has signed Connor Esterhuizen as the replacement of Tom Banton for IPL 2026, the franchise announced on Friday.
Esterhuizen, a wicketkeeper-batter from South Africa, will join the Titans at his base price of Rs. 75 lakhs.
Banton was ruled out of the season due to a finger injury. He didn’t feature in any of the four games GT has played so far.
The 24-year-old recently made his international debut against New Zealand in the five-match T20I series in February. He made an impressive start, winning two Player of the Match awards and was also named Player of the Series, helping his team clinch the series 3-2 after being 2-1 down.
#IPL #captain #Shubman #Gill #fined #lakh #slow #overrate">IPL 2026: GT captain Shubman Gill fined Rs. 12 lakh for slow over-rate against DC
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during its Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Delhi Capitals, which it won in a thrilling last-ball finish here.
Gujarat Titans secured its first win of the season with a one-run victory over the hosts in a high-scoring cliffhanger on Wednesday.
“Gujarat Titans (GT) Captain Shubman Gill has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 14 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi,” said an IPL media advisory.
“As this was his team’s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Gill was fined INR 12 lakh,” it added.
In a nail-biting contest, David Miller had a momentary lapse in judgment, refusing a single off the penultimate delivery from Prasidh Krishna before missing the final ball.
Kuldeep Yadav then failed to get past Jos Buttler’s direct hit, as Delhi Capitals finished at 209 for eight in its chase of Titans’ 210.
Gujarat Titans will next take on Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Sunday, while Delhi Capitals is set to face Chennai Super Kings in Chennai on Saturday.
That DC came this close was down to K.L. Rahul’s 92 and Miller’s late heroics. The hosts appeared to have run out of steam with 36 runs to get off the last two overs and four wickets in hand. But Miller, having retired hurt at the start of the 14th over due to a hand injury before coming back in the 17th over, hadn’t resigned to that idea. The southpaw walloped Mohammed Siraj for two sixes and a four in the penultimate over, whittling down the requirement to 13 off six balls.
In a game where runs were aplenty, Rashid lent a decisive hand with crucial strikes. The ace Afghanistan leggie had Nitish Rana caught at long-off thanks to an excellent grab by B. Sai Sudharsan in the 10th over, and then cleaned up the in-form Sameer Rizvi with a masterful wrong ’un.
A little later, Axar Patel became Rashid’s third victim of the night. It eventually condemned DC to defeat by the narrowest of margins.

High tension permeated the cool air at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Wednesday as Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans engaged in a high-scoring cliffhanger in the Indian Premier League. Twists and turns unfolded at breakneck speed, but Shubman Gill’s Titans prevailed by one run in the end. In response to GT’s 210 for four, Capitals finished on 209 for eight.
With two runs required off the final ball, David Miller swung hard at a short ball by Prasidh Krishna. But he failed to make contact, and as he and Kuldeep Yadav scampered for a single, the latter was found short at the striker’s end after wicketkeeper Jos Buttler hit the stumps. Off the penultimate ball, Miller had pulled Prasidh towards fine-leg and had an easy run on offer, but he chose to stay at his end and face the final ball. Miller may rue that decision in hindsight.
For GT, Rashid Khan was sensational with figures of 4-0-17-3. Gill, Buttler and Washington Sundar also played their roles with fine half-centuries earlier in the evening.
