Gujarat Titans register fourth consecutive win of the season by beating Rajasthan Royals

Gujarat Titans registered their fourth consecutive win in the IPL 2025 season as they beat Rajasthan Royals by a comprehensive margin of 58 runs. Batting first, they put up a massive total of 217/6 on the board from their 20 overs.

Opener Sai Sudharsan carried on his dream run, scoring yet another half-century. The left-hander smashed 82 runs off 53 balls with eight fours and three sixes at a strike-rate of 154.72. Jos Buttler (36) and Shahrukh Khan (36) made vital contributions in the middle while Rahul Tewatia (24 not out) and Rashid Khan (12) gave them a solid finish.

Their bowlers then responded, restricting Rajasthan Royals and bundling them out for just 159 as they were nowhere in the chase. Prasidh Krishna led the charge with three wickets while Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore chipped in with two wickets each.

After losing their first match of the season against Punjab Kings, Gujarat have not looked back, beating Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and now Rajasthan Royals.

They are at the top of the table and appear to be the team to beat at the moment.
