Gujarat Titans Go Top After Crushing SRH as Playoff Race Tightens

Net run rate now looms large with several teams tied on points.

Overview

  • Gujarat Titans, who routed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 82 runs on Tuesday in Ahmedabad, climbed to first place on the IPL 2026 table.
  • Delhi Capitals kept faint hopes alive on Monday with a one-over-to-spare chase of 211 in Dharamsala, led by fifties from Axar Patel and David Miller.
  • The victory moved Delhi to seventh place, and Axar was fined Rs 12 lakh for a slow over rate in what the IPL said was the team’s first offence this season.
  • Punjab Kings slipped to a fourth straight loss as captain Shreyas Iyer blamed poor bowling and fielding, citing dropped catches and loose lengths.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru had briefly led after a last-ball win over Mumbai, and with teams clustered on 14–13 points, margins and net run rate now threaten to decide the final four.
