Gujarat Titans defeats Rajasthan Royals by a stark margin of 58 runs. Under the bright lights of Ahmedabad, while others chased shadows, Sai Sudharsan stood tall—quiet, calculated, and classy. Gujarat Titans lost their skipper Shubman Gill for just 2 runs in the second over, but Sudharsan didn’t flinch. Unfazed by the early jolt, he constructed a sublime 82 off 53 balls, peppered with 8 boundaries and 3 towering sixes. Jos Buttler added 36 off 25 balls, providing the early push, while M Shahrukh Khan's 36 off 20 injected pace through the middle. Then came Rahul Tewatia—cool as ever—blasting 24 off just 12. GT’s middle and lower order combined explosiveness with awareness. Even Rashid Khan, with his 4-ball 12, struck at 300. Gujarat posted a daunting 217/6 at a run rate of 10.85. Rajasthan’s bowlers wilted. Tushar Deshpande went for 53 in his 4 overs despite picking up two wickets. Theekshana conceded 54. Farooqi and Archer lacked bite. Royals, clearly, were scrambling for answers—and the Titans kept asking tough questions.

It wasn’t just the scoreboard—it was the way they folded. Gujarat seemed to have done their homework, reading every chink in the Royals’ armor. The tone was set when Arshad Khan bounced out Yashasvi Jaiswal early. But the real intent showed with Prasidh Krishna’s cunning short ball to Nitish Rana—well-directed, calculated, and executed. Rana fell for just 1. Sanju Samson showed flashes of resistance with a 28-ball 41, and Hetmyer’s 52 off 32 tried to hold things together. But it was never enough. Dhruv Jurel faltered again, managing only 5 runs before falling to Rashid. Shubham Dubey’s stay lasted three balls. No fight, no fluency. Prasidh Krishna led the carnage with 3 for 24. Rashid chipped in with 2 for 37. Mohammed Siraj, Kulwant Khejroliya, and Sai Kishore combined for four more wickets. Rajasthan crashed to 159 all-out in 19.2 overs. Their innings featured just four partnerships crossing double digits—none worth remembering. With this crushing 58-run win, Gujarat Titans not only flexed their muscle but exposed the Royals' vulnerability. Rajasthan’s batting show was uninspired, disconnected, and unworthy of the chase. GT’s bowlers had read the script—and they rewrote the ending.
