This performance completely shifted the momentum of the season, proving that Gujarat are genuine title contenders while the bowlers simply had no answer for the visiting captain.
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan set records in RR vs GT IPL 2026 game
The partnership between Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan reached a historic milestone as they crossed 2,500 runs together during the RR vs GT showdown. They are now the first all-Indian pair to hit that mark, joining an elite group that previously only included icons like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle.
By reaching this total in just 43 innings, they broke the record for the fastest to the milestone in IPL history. This means they now trail only the English duo of Daniel Bell-Drummond and Joe Denly for the fastest 2,500 runs in all of T20 cricket.
Their dominance against Rajasthan saw them put on a huge 118-run stand, marking their ninth century partnership since they started opening together in 2022. This feat puts them level with legendary pairs like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, showing just how consistent they’ve been at the top of the order.
On top of that, the duo maintains a staggering average of 62.56, which is the highest for any pair with over 2,500 runs in the shortest format. Even after Yash Raj Punja finally got rid of Sudharsan in the 11th over, the Royals' confidence looked completely shot. Fans got a real glimpse of the future as Shubman Gill continues to set the record books in this thrilling RR vs GT rivalry.
