Having briefly lost their No.1 position after Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s win against Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans stepped up with determination and flair at the Sawai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur, knowing a win tonight would once again take them to the summit of the standings.
The innings was anchored superbly by skipper Shubman Gill, who struck a sparkling 84 off 50 balls, laced with five fours and four towering sixes. Gill combined aggression with composure, laying the foundation for a big total.
Sai Sudharsan gave him strong company early on, scoring a brisk 39 off 30 balls, ensuring GT got off to a solid start despite losing him at a crucial juncture.
After the solid platform set by the openers, Jos Buttler, who came in at No.3, accelerated the innings magnificently, hammering an unbeaten 50 off just 26 deliveries. Buttler’s late fireworks lifted Gujarat’s scoring rate, keeping the pressure firmly on the opposition.
Meanwhile, quick cameos from Washington Sundar (13 off 8 balls) and Shahrukh Khan (5 off 2 balls) further powered the total past the 200-run mark.
Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers struggled to contain the Titans’ batters. Maheesh Theekshana was the pick of the bowlers, picking up two wickets for 35 runs in his four overs.
Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma chipped in with a wicket apiece but leaked runs heavily, with Archer conceding 49 runs from his four overs.
With 209 runs on the board, Gujarat Titans have not only set a daunting target for the Rajasthan Royals but also reaffirmed their status as serious contenders for the title. The Royals will now need to produce a flawless and aggressive chase to stand any chance of toppling this massive total, and keep their playoffs hopes alive.
