At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, during Match 23 of the current Indian Premier League between the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals, Yashasvi Jaiswal left for a low score, much to the pleasure of the home crowd. Arshad Khan, who shared the new ball with Mohammed Siraj, made the breakthrough on the second delivery of his opening stint.
The left-arm pacer’s delivery, which Jaiswal tried to slice on the up, was mediocre at best.
Rashid Khan was the only player the left-handed top-order batsman could locate at deep backward point. In complete shock, Jaiswal dragged himself back to the bench after failing miserably to get the ball where he wanted it with the away swing.
In his first three IPL 2025 games, Jaiswal scored 1, 29, and 4. He scored a winning 67 off 45 balls against the Punjab Kings on Saturday, April 5 at the Mullanpur Cricket Stadium. But he received a poor grade today. The southpaw would be eager to improve his play as the competition moves into its middle stages.
The hosts have set a target of 218 runs for RR to chase. GT posted the mark they ultimately posted on the board earlier in the evening thanks to a magnificent 82-run knock by Sai Sudharsan. Jos Buttler (36 off 25) and Shahrukh Khan (36 off 20) both had a pair of 30s that really aided Sudharsan. Ultimately, Rahul Tewatia went undefeated with 24 off 12 deliveries.
The team led by Sanju Samson has played four games this season, winning two and losing the other two. Their campaign actually got off to a horrible start as they lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. They will move up considerably in the standings if they manage to surpass the high total that GT set tonight.
