In a high-octane clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans put on a scintillating show with both bat and ball to register a commanding 58-run win over Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025.
Batting first, Gujarat Titans piled up a massive 217/6 in their 20 overs. Sai Sudharsan led the charge with a blistering 82 off 53 balls, smashing 8 fours and 3 sixes. Skipper Shubman Gill struggled, managing just 2 runs, but contributions from Jos Buttler (36 off 25), Shahrukh Khan (36 off 20), and Rahul Tewatia (24* off 12) kept the scoreboard ticking. The Royals’ bowlers had a tough outing, with Tushar Deshpande and Maheesh Theekshana picking up two wickets each but conceding runs at over 13 per over.
Chasing a steep target, Rajasthan Royals faltered early. Yashasvi Jaiswal (6) and Nitish Rana (1) departed cheaply. Captain Sanju Samson tried to anchor the chase with a 41 off 28, while Shimron Hetmyer chipped in with a brisk 52 off 32. But consistent breakthroughs from Gujarat’s bowlers sealed the deal. Prasidh Krishna (3/24) and Rashid Khan (2/37) were the standout performers, while Sai Kishore also chipped in with two wickets.
Rajasthan Royals were eventually bowled out for 159 in 19.2 overs, falling well short of the target. With this win, Gujarat Titans surged to the top of the points table with 8 points from 5 matches and an impressive NRR of +1.413. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, slipped to seventh with just 4 points and a negative NRR of -0.733.
