RR vs GT Highlights: The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad witnessed a last-over thriller on Saturday, April 4, 2026, as Rajasthan Royals (RR) successfully defended a mammoth total to defeat Gujarat Titans (GT) by 6 runs. This victory marks Rajasthan’s second consecutive win, solidifying their position at the top of the table, while Titans struggle to find their rhythm under temporary leadership.
The season’s first thriller belonged to Tushar Deshpande, who emerged as the standout performer by defending 11 runs in the final over for RR. Deshpande executed his yorkers to perfection , keeping Rashid and Rabada in check and preventing them from turning the game around in 20th over.
