For the third time in five years, Gujarat Titans will be playing in the IPL final, back at home in Ahmedabad.

It was a nightmare start for RR after opting to bat. Mohammed Siraj removed Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first over, and Kagiso Rabada picked up Dhruv Jurel in the second. RR immediately on the back foot.(AFP)

After the early wickets, Ravindra Jadeja was promoted to number four, and helped Vaibhav Sooryavanshi settle in with some counter-attacking of his own. He had to go off retired hurt, but did his job as he ensured that pressure didn't settle onto the young shoulders of RR's superstar.(PTI)

It was not a typical Sooryavanshi innings of the kind he has made us used to, but only by his standards. 31 balls for his fifty, and most of his six hitting saved for once he was well-set and the innings had been stabilised. 8 fours and 7 sixes on the day.(AFP)

Ultimately, it was some unfortunate deja vu for Sooryavanshi. On 96, he tries to uppercut one but had minimal control, caught down at third man – similar score and similar dismissal to the one vs SRH. In a battle between the Purple Cap and Orange Cap, Purple comes through just enough.(REUTERS)
