Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans have put one foot in the IPL 2026 playoffs after their massive 82-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday. The win ensured GT reached 16 points in 12 games, generally considered the magic number to ensure a playoff berth. After the win, GT’s probability of qualification has gone up to 94.9 per cent, according to IPL’s official broadcasters. Before the GT match, SRH’s probability of qualification was 80 per cent. Now it has gone down to 65.7 per cent. RCB’s chance has gone down to 79.7 per cent from 80.1 per cent. 4th-placed Punjab Kings’ probability has gone up from 62.5 to 62.7. Chennai Super Kings’ probability has gone slightly up from 42.7 to 42.8 per cent. 

Talking about the match, Gujarat Titans outclassed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 82 runs to take the top position in the Indian Premier League points table with a compelling all-round show on Tuesday.

After half-centuries from Sai Sudharsan (61) and Washington Sundar (50) took the Titans to 168 for seven in a scratchy outing with the bat, Kagiso Rabada (3/28) ran through SRH’s top order and Jason Holder (3/20) followed up with an incisive spell to script a fifth consecutive victory for the IPL 2022 winners.

Chasing 169, SRH collapsed to 60 for seven courtesy of Rabada’s exploits with the new ball and Holder’s inroads post the powerplay, eventually rolling over for 86 in 14.5 overs to lose heavily.
