**Ahmedabad, India** – In a thrilling encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the Gujarat Titans (GT) set a challenging 218-run target for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 23rd match of IPL 2025. Winning the toss, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson opted to bowl first.
Sai Sudharsan anchored the Gujarat innings with a crucial 82-run knock, helping GT reach 217/6 in their allotted 20 overs. His innings was studded with boundaries and he fell just short of a century. Other notable contributions came from Rahul Tewatia (24*). Gujarat’s innings saw early setbacks with the loss of captain Shubman Gill (2) bowled by Jofra Archer and Jos Buttler (36) bowled by Maheesh Theekshana. Shah Rukh Khan (36) was also dismissed by Theekshana. For Rajasthan, Theekshana and Tushar Deshpande each claimed two wickets, while Archer and Sandeep Sharma picked up one wicket apiece.
Rajasthan’s chase got off to a shaky start, losing early wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal (6) and Nitish Rana (1). At the time of writing, Rian Parag and Sanju Samson are attempting to rebuild the innings.
Rajasthan made one change to their playing XI, bringing in Fazalhaq Farooqi in place of Wanindu Hasaranga who was unavailable due to personal reasons. Gujarat remained unchanged. The match is expected to be a high-scoring affair, given the Narendra Modi Stadium’s reputation for batting-friendly conditions and the potential impact of evening dew. The temperature in Ahmedabad is expected to reach a high of 44°C.
