RR captain Riyan Parag finishes IPL 2025 match against GT in style with a six during a successful chase of 210 [Watch]

Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Riyan Parag finished their IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) in style with a six at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, April 28.

Things didn't go to plan for RR in the first innings after they won the toss and invited the opponents to bat first. GT scored a massive total of 209 for four in 20 overs. Gujarat's top-order trio of Shubman Gill (84), Jos Buttler (50*), and Sai Sudharsan (39) continued to shoulder the burden of their team's batting department with quality contributions.

14-year-old RR opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi (101) then showcased his immense talent with a blistering century to put RR on the brink of a win in the steep chase. He received support from Yashasvi Jaiswal (70*) as the duo scored 166 runs for the first wicket. After his departure, Riyan Parag (32*) played a blazing cameo and finished the match with a six on the fifth ball of the 16th over against off-spinner Washington Sundar.
