- GT vs RR IPL Highlights 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Gujarat Titans scored 217/6 in the first innings thanks to Sai Sudharsan's 82, but RR's chase never got going as early wickets and scalps at regular intervals left them well short, losing by
GT vs RR IPL Highlights 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: The Gujarat Titans head to the top of the IPL 2025 table with a truly dominant 58-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad. Sai Sudharsan was the hero with bat, scoring 82 and assisted well by Jos Buttler, Shahrukh Khan, and Rahul Tewatia. In the 218-run chase, Rajasthan never quite got going, losing two early wickets and then wickets at regular intervals. Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer threatened briefly, but Prasidh Krishna ensured that it was nothing more than a momentary spark....Read More
In a rematch of the IPL 2022 final, the Gujarat Titans will play host to the Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT are off the a flier after losing their first match of the season, making it a hat-trick of wins with a dominant showing against SRH, and will be hosting a Rajasthan Royals team that has strung together two important victories of their own after starting off with two losses. These are two teams in form, seeking to separate themselves from a tight midfield battle so far in this year’s IPL.
The key storyline will be the matchup between Jos Buttler, now behind the sticks for Gujarat, and his former team, one he represented with such distinction for many years. Buttler had a tremendous start to the season, doing a lot of the heavy lifting for a team that looked slightly shaky in the middle order. But GT’s fears have abated: even on a day where Buttler was dismissed for a three-ball duck, they were able to rely on great performances from an impressive Sherfane Rutherford and a debuting Washington Sundar with the bat to carry them home. Add to this a pretty strong start to the season for openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, and Gujarat look in strong shape to rattle off a few wins before things start getting tricky.
For Rajasthan, it was quite the opposite to start the season, as their big-name top order players struggled to find rhythm and form. However, it was finally time for them to arrive in their previous game against Punjab Kings, as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson stitched together an 89-run opening partnership. But even more heartening for RR will be the return to form of Jofra Archer, who was off-colour to start the tournament, but has bounced back in a big way. He blew away the stumps of Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer in the first over of his spell, and has looked like he has found that extra sharpness and speed that elevates him to being one of the best white-ball pace bowlers in the world.
A win will vault the Gujarat Titans to the top of the table on eight points, overtaking early pace-setters Delhi Capitals and placing the Ahmedabad team in a strong position heading into the middle portion of the season. With their great pace attack, they continue to wait for Rashid Khan to show everyone the abilities he has, with Sai Kishore filling in his shoes as a reliable four-over bank so far.
RR, meanwhile, will be looking to separate themselves from the cellar dwellers of the IPL season so far. They could join GT and the four other teams on six points with a win. This is the start of a tough six-game run for them in which they will play GT and RCB twice, with games against DC and LSG to boot: it’s a make-or-break stretch of the season, and one they won’t want to enter with more losses than wins.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Four in a row for Gujarat Titans! All a little easy for the hosts in Ahmedabad today, a strong batting performance and then a chase that never quite got going.
Three wickets for Prasidh, a couple each for Rashid and Sai Kishore. GT are a force this year, and very rightly climb to the top of the table.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: That should be that! Hetmyer falls
GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Prasidh Krishna has been on the money today. Hit-the-deck all night from him, and he digs it in at Hetmyer's ribcage. The big West Indian can't find enough connection, and it finds Sai Kishore at deep square leg. 52(32) from him, but not enough.
Kishore with a wicket of his own the next over to dismiss Tushar Deshpande. 150/9 now, and it's all but over. Big victory loading for GT.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Hetmyer still trying to keep RR alive, even if he's the last recognised batter.

Prasidh Krishna with his second wicket. 144/7 now.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Another wicket, and another for Rashid! Just rushes Shubham Dubey twice, and the second time, the LBW call goes his way.
You have to believe that is that at 119/6 in 13.2 overs. Shimron Hetmyer running out of partners, and GT should see this home.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Another wicket! And it's Rashid Khan who strikes! Jurel tries to attack the leggie, but can't connect well enough. Tough catch for Sai Sudharsan in the deep, but he does very well to collect it low to the ground.
69/4 at the end of 8 overs.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Parag dismissed in contentious fashion!
GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Parag looks like he's edged it to Buttler, but he surprisingly reviews despite a noise. He thinks he's hit the bat into the ground, not the ball — but the third umpire disagrees. The call stands, and now 60/3 right after the powerplay.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson in fine fine touch! When he's in flow he's just so good to watch. A six over cover, off the back foot no less, followed by a cut shot that is pure timing through the point region.
34/2 in 4 overs. Parag starts the next over with a six off Siraj, his second. Great counterattack so far from RR.

RR in trouble here, 12/2 in no time. Still a lot of work to do.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Tewatia manufactures 16-run last over! 217/6 final score
GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Great batting by Tewatia after an extra fielder is forced to come into the ring. Hits a couple of boundaries and one six, and GT finish on 217/6.
The kind of score GT will be slightly happier than RR with, but maybe only 10 runs above par. Should be an enthralling chase after the break.

Walks across his stumps and tries to flick Deshpande over square leg. Not enough elevation, and Jaiswal is able to shuttle across and take a fine diving catch a couple of inches off the turf.
201/6, last over coming up.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Jofra Archer bowles out in the 18th over, should have had Sudharsan but the southpaw is put down at the deep square boundary. Not too much damage: the very next over, Deshpande fires it in full, and an inside edge is taken spectacularly by Sanju Samson behind the stumps.
188/5 now, Rashid joins Tewatia. With 10 deliveries left can they take this score over 210?

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Somewhat innocuous appeal at the end of that over by RR, but Samson is convinced by Theekshana to go up to DRS. Jos Buttler has swatted at that one from Theekshana, but missed it all ends up. Looked like it might be a touch high, but it is three reds on the hawkeye!
Really big wicket for RR halfway through the innings. It's 94-2 after 10 overs now, and Jofra Archer comes back to try and increase the pressure on GT.

Looking dangerous.

A high-pace bouncer at Gill first up as well.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: After a very rough start to the tournament, Jofra Archer has bounced back in fine fashion. It isn't surprising to see the Royals be good when Archer is good: he is capable of providing fast starts by dismissing the opposition's best batters, like he did by knocking over Shreyas Iyer against PBKS.
Against GT's stacked top order, Jofra's performances will be key. If he can unsettle them early and expose the middle order, RR will be very confident.

It was Rashid Khan the hero, slicing away a cut shot to the fence for four to deliver the win to GT at the end of a thrilling night of cricket.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: No other matchup in this year's IPL will have as much elite top-order domestic quality as this one. The names on show will make any neutral Indian fan salivate: Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan in one team, two of the classiest and most elegant batters on offer. In the other team, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson, two of the best hitters the game has to offer.
It is really a treasure trove of talent, but all four of these players know they are competing for very similar positions in the Indian team. The importance of performing when up against their closest contemporaries won't be lost on them.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: After making his debut with 7 games for Delhi in IPL 2019, Sherfane Rutherford failed to nail down a spot as a consistent starter for any IPL team in the following years. However, he has found a home in this Gujarat Titans middle order, and quelled the fears of an undercooked middle order.
In four matches Rutherford has whacked 129 runs, averaging 64.5 at a strike-rate of 176, stepping in to finish innings after good starts from his top order. With a great lefty swing and plenty of power, he has shown that he is a valuable contributor, and could develop into a key player for his team over the course of this tournament.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Rashid Khan has had a very frustrating start to the season, only picking up one wicket in four matches and conceding at an economy rate of over 10.
For a player with an IPL economy rate of under 7, what is up with the Afghan spinner? After a relatively subpar year in 2024 as well, there have been murmurings of Rashid having been figured out at this level, but he is a competitor and will want to silence those whisperings.
GT have been successful despite his struggles, but will be hoping he shows up sooner rather than later to their campaign. He will almost certainly be a key player down the stretch of this tournament.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: An interesting side-plot in this match will be how Jos Buttler fares against a team he called home for so many years, before being released ahead of the 2025 auction. Buttler has had a strong start to this tournament, scoring a couple of half-centuries, but was dismissed for a duck in the previous game.
How does Sanju Samson plan against his former opening partner? Does he introduce Wanindu Hasaranga early? Does he hold Jofra Archer back? And what does Buttler have up his own sleeve?

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Both matches thus far this season have seen the team batting first put on big totals and defend them in the second innings. Both of these teams have the capability to hit in the 200-210 range, but a score bigger than that might make it out of hand for the chasing team.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Can RR open a gap from the foot of the table?
GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: RR have some much-needed momentum on their side, and will want to use that to create some daylight between themselves and the three teams who are rooted to the bottom of the table thus far. If RR can pull off a result and join the group of teams on six points, they will feel confident about their chances going forward. But if they find themselves in a dogfight at the wrong end of the table with SRH, MI, and CSK, it could be a long season even before their first game in Jaipur.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: GT look to jump to top of table
GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: GT are currently sitting in second place in the table, but will be wanting to put some distance between themselves and a pack of teams all on three wins. With a win in Ahmedabad, they could vault over Delhi Capitals, and take first place all for themselves. That would give them a record of 4-1 after their first five games, and they would likely only have to win only four more of their remaining nine games to qualify from that point. A real position of strength.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: RR searching for a hat-trick of their own
GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: After two opening losses that made RR look like one of the weaker teams on offer, their star top order batters have woken up, and Jofra Archer has performed at levels much closer to his best. This has been the key, as they beat CSK before putting away a strong PBKS team in their previous match.
A win against GT will bring them right back into playoff conversation, but a loss will mean they will have to fight hard to climb out from the lower ends of the table. A very early tone-setter for the season for this team.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: After a punishing defeat in their opening game, Gujarat Titans have suddenly established themselves as one of the stronger units in the IPL. Their performances have been very solid, with their star players showing up and executing. Even their shaky middle order has outdone expectations.
A win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous match saw them win their third game in a row, and they are very much one of the form teams in the IPL at the moment.
