IPL 2024, RR vs GT highlights: Rashid and Tewatia seal famous win for Titans as Gujarat breach Royals fortress

Thank you for reading the live blog of the IPL 2024 match between GT and RR. Rashid Khan was named the Player of the Match for his all-round show against RR. The spinner bagged the all-important wicket of Jos Buttler. Rashid bowled four overs and leaked 18 runs. With the bat, Rashid smashed 24 off 11 balls to seal a famous win for the Titans. 

"Winning the game is more pleasing for me. Happy that I landed the ball where I wanted today and that gave me energy with the bat as well maybe. I haven't bowled much in the last 3-4 months after the surgery and I just lost a bit of grip on the ball and I had a good session after the last game and it really helped me to get back to my best. I really enjoyed my bowling today. It was just a matter of hitting 3-4 sixes and you need to stay positive," Rashid said. 

IPL Live Score 2024 RR vs GT - GT skipper Shubman Gill was all praise for superstar Rashid Khan after the visitors defeated RR in the final-over thriller. Gill scored 72 off 44 balls while Rashid remained unbeaten on 24 off 11 balls. "We were targetting 45 in 3 overs and it is very much gettable and that was the mindset at that time. Mathematically both batters needed to hit 22 off 9 balls and that's how the thinking goes and if one batter goes berserk that will do. I would have loved to finish the game, but very happy with Rahul and Rashid bhai for finishing the job for us. Winning the ball off the last ball is always a great feeling. He (Rashid Khan) is someone who you always want in your team, he is such a competitor," Gill said.

Gujarat Titans pulled off their biggets successful chase on the final ball in the IPL. For the fourth time, RR have lost an IPL game on the final ball of the contest. GT’s win over RR also ended Rajasthan’s unbeaten run in the IPL 2024. “I think the last ball of the game (where was the game lost?). Very hard to speak at the moment. Hardest job in the tournament when a captain loses the game and has to tell where the game was lost. When the emotions come down I'll be able to tell clearly. Have to give credit to the Gujarat Titans. That's the beauty of this tournament. Will have to learn and move on. While I was batting I thought something around 180 would've been a fighting score. 196 was a winning score I thought. With no dew, our bowling lineup should've done it. It wasn't easy to go hard at the start of the innings. 197 at Jaipur, without dew, we'll take it any day,” Samson said.
