RR vs GT in IPL

RR and GT are among the fiercest rivals of each other in IPL cricket, dating back to when GT joined as a new franchise in 2022.

Since then, they have competed against one another eight times with each team winning six times; their rivalry being further amplified when former RR players such as Rahul Tewatia, David Miller, Prasidh Krishna and Jos Buttler now play for GT instead of their former side RR.

Rajasthan Royals successfully chased down Gujarat Titans’ daunting 210-run target at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur within 15.5 overs, setting an IPL record by becoming the fastest team ever to chase 200+ totals successfully against GT. This mark also represents one of the highest totals ever reached against them successfully.

The Royals openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal got off to an explosive start, as Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal took no time in striking through Titans bowlers for an early strike rate. 14-year-old Suryavanshi made an incredible 101 run knock in just 68 balls with seven fours and 11 sixes during his innings.

Jaiswal proved himself equally impressive as he provided support at the other end. He went not out off 48 balls, hitting five sixes. This performance earned him Player of the Match honors for RR.

Maheesh Theekshana made an early breakthrough for GT, dismissing Sai Sudharsan for 39. However, Shubman Gill continued his assault from the other end and scored an amazing 84 runs off 29 balls before Rashid Khan trapped him behind the stumps with a low full toss delivery and bowled him.

Riyan Parag and Shirron Hetmyer helped the Royals reach their target with only three balls remaining, breaking an IPL cricket record by scoring more runs than ever before against GT. Furthermore, this total marked GT’s highest total ever in IPL cricket.
