In the IPL 2026 match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Gujarat Titans (GT) emerged victorious by 77 runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
After suffering a loss, RR's stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal said, "No,(How tough was it when GT got off to such a good start) I think we were just thinking to bowl in good areas and they were batting pretty well. So we were just thinking how we can cut down the boundaries or big shots. So I think it was pretty good from them. No, it’s cricket (talking about Archer being off the radar today). We all know that there’s some days where you are in, there’s some days where you cannot bowl how you want. But he’s been doing so well for us, I think. So I think he’ll be coming back very strongly. No, I actually didn’t think that much (whether leaving out Burger was a tough decision). I had simple plan who is my bowler and who can give me some good overs in the powerplay. So nothing much from my end. Nothing much (What went wrong tonight?). I think we are going to look what we can do better and just look for the next game, what we can do and learn from this game".
