Ravindra Jadeja retired hurt during the Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans IPL 2026 Qualifier 2 after taking an elbow blow, and the early reports said the exact severity of the injury was still unconfirmed. He later returned to bat, which suggested the issue may not have been immediately serious.[5][9]
What was reported
- Jadeja received treatment on the field before walking off as retired hurt.[1][5]
- Multiple reports pointed to an elbow injury as the likely reason.[9][5]
- His return to bat later in the innings was reported as a positive sign for RR.[7][9]
Latest status
The most consistent update in the reports is that he was hurt but not ruled out of the match, and his availability to bowl depended on how he felt later. No formal medical bulletin was included in the reports I found, so the exact diagnosis was still unclear.[1][5][7][9]
Match impact
His temporary exit disrupted Rajasthan’s innings and raised concerns about their bowling balance for the rest of the game.[5][7]
