**Jaipur, India** – The Rajasthan Royals (RR) are facing a crucial “do-or-die” match against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 47th game of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. GT set a challenging 210-run target after posting 209/4 in their allotted 20 overs.

Shubman Gill led the GT batting charge, scoring a masterful 84 runs off 50 balls (5 fours, 4 sixes). He and Sai Sudarshan (39 runs, 4 fours, 1 six) put on a 93-run opening partnership before Sudarshan’s dismissal in the 11th over. Gill later shared a 74-run stand with Jos Buttler, who finished unbeaten on 50 off 26 balls (3 fours, 4 sixes) in a late flourish.

RR, currently ninth in the standings with only four points after seven losses in nine matches, needs a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. They’ve suffered five consecutive defeats and are desperate for a turnaround. Their last encounter with GT in Ahmedabad resulted in a 58-run defeat. GT, on the other hand, is comfortably placed second with 12 points from 6 wins in 8 matches, and a victory will significantly boost their playoff chances.

The RR innings started explosively. 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed a sensational century (101 off 38 balls, including 7 fours and 11 sixes), becoming the fastest Indian to reach a century in IPL history. He and Yashasvi Jaiswal (61 not out) established a massive 166-run opening partnership before Suryavanshi’s dismissal. Earlier, Suryavanshi also became the youngest player to score a fifty in IPL history.

Despite the impressive start, Rajasthan’s innings ultimately fell short, showcasing the exciting contest between the two teams. Nitish Rana’s early dismissal also impacted Rajasthan’s chase. The match ended with a thrilling GT victory.
