Tomorrow, 29 May 2026, the IPL semi‑final pits Gujarat Titans against Rajasthan Royals. The venue? Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh.
Rajasthan’s in‑form opener, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, is eyeing a personal landmark. He’s 68 runs away from hitting the 1,000‑run mark for the Royals.
So far he’s amassed 932 runs across 22 appearances. That includes a top score of 103, two centuries and five fifties. If he gets going, the milestone is within reach.
Should the Royals clinch victory over the Titans, the next hurdle would be Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the title showdown. That final is slated for 31 May at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
In short, the semi‑final carries a dual narrative – a team’s ticket to the final and an individual chase for a thousand runs. The drama will unfold on the field tomorrow.
