Three milestones that were achieved in RR vs GT clash

Gujarat Titans traveled to Rajasthan Royals to take on the home side in Match number 47 of IPL 2025. Riyan Parag chose to bowl first after winning the toss and saw the Titans post a massive 209 runs on the board for the loss of four wickets from their 20 overs. Sai Sudharsan and skipper Shubman Gill, who were the openers in the game, added 93 for the first wicket before Sudharsan got out for 39 runs. 

The best batter for the Titans was Shubman Gill who scored 84 runs from just 50 balls with five boundaries and four sixes. Former RR star Jos Buttler gave the finishing touches to the innings with his brutal knock of 50 which came off 25 balls. Maheesh Theekshana was the best bowler for RR with 2/35 from his four overs. Sandeep Sharma and Jofra Archer were able to pick one wicket each for the home team. 

Rajasthan Royals who had been having a tough time while chasing didn’t break any sweat as they swatted aside GT’s bowlers. Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored an amazing century on what was a historic knock. Yashasvi Jaiswal was not out on 70 as he helped RR head home past the finish line. Fittingly it was Riyan Parag who had the honor of the winning hit which went all the way for a huge six.

2. Best ever opening stand for RR in IPL history
