Gujarat Titans have handed Rajasthan Royals a drubbing in the 23rd match of the Indian Premier League 2025 to register their fourth straight win in the tournament. After Sai Sudharsan starred with an 82-run knock, GT's bowlers stood up to their task and defended 217 with ease.
The Titans have now stormed to the top of the points table with four wins in five matches. After losing their opener to Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, they have been on song, winning two games at home and two away.
The victory was set up by Sudharsan, who carried on his
Midas touch. The Southpaw played a masterful knock as he took apart the RR bowling line-up during his 53-ball 82-run knock that was laced with three sixes and eight fours. This was Sudharsan's fifth consecutive fifty-plus score at the Ahmedabad-based venue, as he has become the first Indian player to have hit five consecutive fifty-plus scores at a venue and only the second after AB de Villiers.
Sudharsan was ably supported by Jos Buttler and Shahrukh Khan, both of whom scored 36 each. Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan provided the finishing touches in the death overs as GT racked up 217.
