Gujarat Titans beats Rajasthan Royals by 58 runs

GT Beats RR by 58 runs IPL 2025 Match 23: Gujarat Titans beat the Rajasthan Royals by 58 runs in the 23rd match of the IPL on Wednesday. Rajasthan began to chase the total of 218 runs but was bowled out for 159 runs in four overs, short of the target. This leaves Gujarat at the top of the points table with four wins out of five matches. Meanwhile, they are seventh with their third defeat in their fifth game.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and asked Gujarat to bat. But this move did not work in favor of the first-time champions much. Instead, losing captain Shubman Gill (2) for only 14 runs, Gujarat was able to score a massive total of 217 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Opener Sai Sudarshan (82) played a crucial role in this. Sudarshan completed his half-century in 32 balls with fireworks-like batting. But Tushar Deshpande dismissed him 18 runs short of his memorable century. Jos Buttler (36) and Shahrukh Khan (36) had decent middle-order contributions. But Gujarat reached 200 runs due to smoky batting of Rahul Tiwatia (24*, 12 balls) and Rashid Khan (12*, 4 balls). These two scored 36 runs off only 16 balls.

Brief Scores: Gujarat Titans 217/6 in 20 overs (Sai Sudarshan 82, Jos Buttler 36, Shahrukh Khan 36, Rahul Tiwatia 24*, Tushar Deshpande 2/53, Mahish Teekhana 2/54). Rajasthan Royals 159 in 19.2 overs (Simran Hetmyer 52, Sanju Samson 41, Riyan Parag 26, Pranam Krishna 3/24, Sai Kishore 2/20).
