GT Innings: Gill and Sudharsan Put On a Masterclass
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and chose to field, looking to exploit whatever early movement the Jaipur pitch might offer. GT openers Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill had very different ideas.
The pair put on 118 runs for the first wicket and that partnership was the foundation of everything. Both batters reached their fifties inside 30 balls each and the score was already 82 without loss at the end of the powerplay. Jofra Archer went for 46 runs in just three overs without taking a wicket, which tells you everything about the difficulty of bowling on this surface against these two in this kind of form.
Sudharsan fell for 55 off 36 balls, caught by Archer off Yash Raj Punja. Gill kept going and reached 84 off 44 balls before being dismissed by Brijesh Sharma, who ended up taking two wickets. Washington Sundar then hit an unbeaten 37 off 20 balls and Rahul Tewatia finished with a brutal 14 off just 4 balls including two sixes in the final over. That late surge pushed GT to 229/4 which always looked well above par.

RR Chase: Bright Start, Total Collapse
RR’s chase started with a burst of aggression from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who smashed 36 off just 16 balls with three fours and three sixes. But that early excitement masked what was coming. Yashasvi Jaiswal fell in the third over and at 40 for 2 in 3.3 overs, the required rate was already climbing steeply.
Dhruv Jurel played a brilliant cameo of 24 off 10 balls but Rashid Khan entered the attack and immediately changed everything. He took all four of his wickets in a span of overs that ended the contest as a competition. Jadeja top-scored with 38 off 25 balls but by then the required run rate was completely out of reach.
RR were bowled out for 152 in 16.3 overs, losing the match by 77 runs.
