Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 58 runs, securing yet another dominant victory at their home ground. It was a brilliant all-round team performance, with Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and Shahrukh Khan shining with the bat, while the GT bowlers backed it up with a solid effort, restricting Rajasthan to just 159 runs.
RR: 159 (19.2)
Sai Kishore gets amongst the wickets as well. On a length, skids through onto off stump. Deshpande with a big swipe across the line that goes towards Rashid’s right from deep mid-wicket.
RR: 152/9 (17)
A short delivery onto the body, Hetmyer tries a swivel pull but holes out to deep backward square. Didn’t get it off the middle and nowhere enough power to clear the fence. The southpaw is furious with himself as he walks off. This wicket will now perhaps dent the RR net run rate too.
RR: 145/8(16)
A superb short-pitched delivery from Krishna angles in towards the off stump. Archer is late on the pull and skews it in the air towards mid-off. Second wicket for Prasidh, he’s continuing his fine showing in IPL 2025.
RR: 145/8 (16)
Rashid Khan gets his second wicket, removing Shubham Dubey. A fuller delivery was the googly that skids off the surface and strikes Dubey on the front pad.
RR: 119/6(13.2)
Big blow for the visitors. The bowler hits the deck hard, angles onto off stump, Samson made a bit of room and tried to open the bat face towards third-man. Ends up skewing it into the hands of Sai Kishore who is at the edge of the circle. Prasidh picks up a crucial wicket against his former side.
RR: 116/5(12.2)
Rashid Khan joins the party now! Another deceptive googly, this one slightly shorter and kicking up with some extra bounce. Jurel rocks back to tuck it away but mistimes it, chipping it half-heartedly towards deep mid-wicket, where the fielder is waiting.
RR: 68/4 (7.4)
Riyan Parag departs after playing a quick knock of 26 (14) and tries to squeeze it down towards deep backward point. Gets a faint tickle through to the keeper, and Buttler makes no mistake.
RR: 65/3(7)
After the early dismissals of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana, captain Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag counterattacked against the Gujarat Titans’ pace attack, guiding their team past the 50-run mark by the end of the powerplay.
RR: 57/2(6)
This was a shortish ball, Rana seemed like he played a very good upper cut, bent and timed it nicely, just that he picked out third man to perfection. Straight to him and Siraj enjoyed that wicket. RR in trouble now.
RR: 12/2(2.3)
Jaiswal leans forward and looks to square drive, slices it straight to third man and there’s the early wicket that’s almost inevitable in the second innings in night games here. Jaiswal drags himself off in disbelief. He tried to use the away swing but didn’t get it where he wanted to.
RR: 10/1(1.2)
A brilliant fifty by Sai Sudharsan, along with two crucial 50-run partnerships with Jos Buttler and Shahrukh Khan, helped GT cross the 200-run mark. The innings was capped off with an amazing finish by Rahul Tewatia.
GT: 217/6 (20)
A great knock by Sai Sudarshan, which helped GT cross the 150-run mark, and he misses his century. Tushar Deshpande goes for the yorker that he can bowl so well. Sai swings hard and gets an inside edge as he loses shape. The ball was travelling, but Sanju dived full length to his right and low to pouch that with both hands.
GT: 187/5(18.2)
Rutherford came and smashed a first ball six, but Sandeep Sharma dismissed him in his over and broke the momentum of the Gujarat Titans.
GT: 163/4 (16.1)
Shah Rukh Khan departs after crossing a 50-run stand with Sai Sudarshan. Theekshana smartly fired this wide of off stump, SRK had nowhere to hide and this time Samson wasn’t blinded.
GT: 163/3(16)
After the dismissal of Jos Buttler, Shahrukh and Sudarshan have taken charge of the GT innings and helped them cross 100 runs. The platform is being set for the launch, but Rajasthan Royals will know that the guys coming after this pair haven’t had much of a hit, except Rutherford.
GT: 124/2(13)
A great start given by Buttler, but he departs. Theekshana is pumped. He has broken this partnership. This looked real close to the naked eye but the onfield umpire was not convinced. Buttler misjudges the length here.
GT: 94/2(10)
Another half century for Sai Sudarshan, his performance is consistent. Just a raise of the bat and a punch of gloves with Buttler. He struggled against Archer but saw that phase through and has cashed in. He reaches the landmark with a nudge into the leg-side.
GT: 94/1(9.5)
A great start by Jofra dismissed Shubman Gill at a low score, but Sai Sudarshan charges back at RR bowlers and keeps the momentum up for GT, and helped cross 50 runs before the end of powerplay.
GT: 56/1(6)
Early blow for GT as their skipper Shubman Departs, That’s Archer at his best. Even Gill goes uhhh as he walks back. 147.7ks full delivery around off, Gill is drawn into the forward push and he is a tad late on the shot.
GT: 14/1(2.2)
Gujarat Titans Impact Subs: Washington Sundar, Nishant Sindhu, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, Arshad Khan

Shubman Gill: I would have bowled first as well. Looking at the past few matches, dew has come in during the second innings but we have batted first here. We are taking it one game at a time and not keeping track on how many games we have won. If the top 3 or 4 are doing the job then I am happy with that. We have had a really good home run and hopefully nothing changes for us, support from the fans has always been tremendous. No changes for us.
Sanju Samson: We would like to bowl here first because of the conditions. There is going to be dew here. Each and every game in the IPL is important, we are greatful of the last two games and take the momentum forward. It is great to be back. It is a very new team, new guys in the squad, we retained six guys but it is a new team, we took time to gel together. The wicket looks really good. Hasaranga misses out due to personal reasons Farooqi comes in.
Rajasthan Royals win the toss, opt to bowl first against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Titan’s top three has scored bulk of their runs with at least one of them crossing 50+ in every game. Each of the three average 50+ with 150+ SR in Ahmedabad. They may have deal with the firepower of Jofra Archer who is in fine form. GT will also have to deftly manage the RR spinners – Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Teekshana.
The Royals will need a big score from their star batters, Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Sanju Samson, which means they will have to stop in-form GT pacers, mainly Mohammed Siraj, from making early inroads. Shimron Hetmyer will be key for RR in the final overs, setting or chasing a target. He will have to find a way to score off Rashid Khan and R Sai Kishore.
R Sai Kishore has completely outbowled his senior pro Rashid Khan in each of the four games this season. He has eight wickets to Rashid’s one and conceded only 113 runs in four games for an impressive economy rate of 7.6. Rashid has gone for 143 runs so far with an economy rate of 10.21.
Jos Buttler, who bats at No 3 for Gujarat Titans, is the second-highest run getter for the Rajasthan Royals in their IPL history with 3055 runs behind Sanju Samson’s 3879.
Siraj is the leading wicket-taker in Powerplay in IPL 2025 with six scalps – two each in each of the last three games . He has bowled a whopping 63.6% dots, only behind Hazlewood’s 72.9%.

With a run rate of 9.76 per over, Ahmedabad is the second-most high-scoring venue this IPL. But pitch type (red vs black soil) could dictate spin vs pace impact.
With set batters always on, GT’s death overs run rate is 13.31, second-highest this season. Expect fireworks if they keep wickets in hand heading into the final 5 overs.
Theekshana and Hasaranga have led the charge with tight middle-overs spells and crucial wickets. Only CSK has more wickets through spin—RR are dominating this phase.

Nitish Rana and Dhruv Jurel stepped up with game-winning cameos vs CSK, showing that RR’s bench strength is better battle-tested than Gujarat’s underused middle order.
With the top order firing relentlessly, GT’s middle order remains untested, raising concerns about match-readiness in crunch games—a ticking time bomb in T20 dynamics.
Gill, Sudharsan & Buttler have combined for over 70% of GT’s runs—503 out of 715—making Gujarat’s top three the most prolific unit in the league this season.
