New Delhi: Batting standards in the IPL 2026 continue to soar, with former India captain Sunil Gavaskar pointing to a growing belief among teams that even daunting totals can be chased down with ease.

Gavaskar’s remarks come in the wake of Rajasthan Royals chasing down a stiff target against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on Tuesday, handing the table-toppers their first defeat of the season. The successful chase was powered by a blistering start from young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and a strong finish from the middle order.

Highlighting a broader trend across the league, Gavaskar said teams are now approaching big chases with far greater confidence.
