In an unforgettable encounter at Jaipur on April 28, 2025, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) dominated the Gujarat Titans (GT) by 8 wickets, with 25 balls to spare. RR’s chase of a challenging target of 210 was led by a sensational knock from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who not only scored a blistering century but also became the youngest player in Indian Premier League (IPL) history to do so. His record-breaking performance, coupled with a steady contribution from Yashasvi Jaiswal, ensured RR’s emphatic win. The match was an exhilarating display of youthful brilliance, as Suryavanshi’s explosive 101 off just 38 balls sealed Gujarat’s fate.

Gujarat Titans set a tough target with the help of Shubman Gill

The Titans, electing to bat first, managed to post 209/4 in their 20 overs. Shubman Gill was the standout performer, scoring a solid 84 off 50 balls, with 5 fours and 4 sixes, anchoring the innings effectively. Sai Sudharsan provided a strong start with 39 off 30 balls, but his dismissal in the 10th over left Gujarat at 93/1. Jos Buttler played a quickfire knock, remaining unbeaten on 50 from 26 balls, hitting 3 fours and 4 sixes, which boosted the total in the latter stages. Washington Sundar contributed with a cameo of 13 off 8 balls before being dismissed by Sandeep Sharma. Rahul Tewatia, facing Jofra Archer, was dismissed for 9, while Shahrukh Khan‘s 5 off 2 balls added some finishing touches. Despite a strong top order, the middle order’s collapse prevented Gujarat from posting a higher score.
