GT vs RR IPL Highlights 2025: Gujarat Titans head to top of table with dominant win, Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna star

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: First six of the innings comes from Sudharsan, who has played that brilliantly. Starts to step down against Farooqi, who digs it in short. The adjustment is phenomenal as he just waits for it and guides it over the head of short third. Flies all the way for six.

31-1 after 4 overs.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler in earlier than he would have liked, and is greeted by a bouncer that whistles past his helmet. Wow.

Good retort two deliveries later. Archer overpitches, and Buttler is up for it. Leans into it and finds the gap at covers.

21-1 after three overs.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: What a delivery Jofra Archer! Welcome back to the IPL! Steams in for the first ball of his second over, and just makes it deck back in from a length. Shubman Gill is rushed for pace, and it just blasts through the bat-pad gap to send his off-stump cartwheeling.

What a start for Archer! 14-1.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: GT's openers survive the first over, only just! Last ball is another short sharp one at Sudharsan, and he can only get a top edge as he's late on the pull. Loops over the keeper for four.

Farooqi with the new ball from the other end. Can he extract any sort of swing?

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: What a gem to start us off! Pitching on leg-stump for the lefty and just decks away past his outside edge. Archer looking on rhythm.

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

On the side, the commentators noting no Washington Sundar in the batting XI despite his 49 in the last match. It is a pretty batting-heavy bench for them, will Sundar come on as an impact sub in this innings itself?

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: And the players make their way onto the field at Narendra Modi Stadium. Set to be a high-scoring cracker. Two great teams up for it. Sudharsan and Gill to kick off GT's innings.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals:

Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Sai Sudharsan, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Sai Kishore, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ishant Sharma, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj

Bench: Washington Sundar, Nishant Sindhu, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, Arshad Khan

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals:

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande, Sandeep Sharma, Fazalhaq Farooqi

Bench: Kunal Singh Rathore, Shubham Dubey, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Something of a surprise, Sanju Samson calls correctly and opts to chase on this surface. Predicts a little bit of dew for this pitch. Shubman Gill says he would have done the same.

Fazalhaq Farooqi in for RR ahead of Hasaranga, and GT are unchanged.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Teams all warming up at the Narendra Modi Stadium now. Plenty of good new ball bowlers on both these sides, and they will be put to the task early, one feels. So much hitting talent early on both sides, it will be interesting to see what Sanju Samson or Shubman Gill choose, depending on who wins the toss.

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.

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: It was an absolute rollercoaster the last time these two teams met, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. It went down to the very last over with GT needing 15 to win, and from there to the very last ball.

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.

IPL 2025 has found thrillers and tight contests a little sparse so far. Can GT and RR produce another to bring the tournament alive?

GT vs RR IPL Live Score 2025, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Gujarat Titans have absolutely dominated Rajasthan Royals when it comes to encounters between these two teams. In six matches, RR have only won one: the other five have all been dominated by GT. This includes the final of the 2022 tournament, which GT won to clinch the trophy.

Can RR flip the script on this one-sided record, or will GT continue to dominate their opponents today?

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. Although dew is conventionally expected to play a role, the ball does slightly stick on this surface.

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 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: 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.
