Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 58 runs in an intense match at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium in 2025. The Gujarat Titans put on a spectacular display with both bat and ball.
In their 20 overs, the GT, who batted first, amassed an enormous 217/6. Leading the assault was Sai Sudharsan, who hit eight fours and three sixes in a scorching 82 off 53 balls. Shahrukh Khan (36 off 20), Rahul Tewatia (24* off 12), and Jos Buttler (36 off 25) all contributed to the scoreboard’s movement despite captain Shubman Gill’s poor performance, which saw him manage only 2 runs. Tushar Deshpande and Maheesh Theekshana both took two wickets, but they gave up more than 13 runs per over, indicating that the Royals’ bowlers had a difficult game.
Early on, the Rajasthan Royals stumbled while chasing a lofty target. The departure of Nitish Rana (1) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (6) was inexpensive. With a 41 off 28, captain Sanju Samson attempted to lead the pursuit, but Shimron Hetmyer contributed a quick 52 off 32. However, the deal was clinched by Gujarat’s bowlers’ constant breakthroughs. The most notable players were Rashid Khan (2/37) and Prasidh Krishna (3/24) but Sai Kishore also contributed two wickets.
The Rajasthan Royals fell far short of the objective as they were eventually bowled out for 159 in 19.2 overs. With eight points from five games and a remarkable NRR of +1.413, the Gujarat Titans jumped to the top of the points table with their victory. The Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, dropped to seventh place with a negative NRR of -0.733 and just 4 points.
