Vaibhav Suryavanshi Thrives As RR Defeat GT By Eight Wickets

Openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal went into full beast mode and carried the team on their backs with a stellar performance with the bat. The 14-year-old went on to become the second-fastest centurion in the history of IPL and etched his name among legendary cricketers. Vaibhav was dismissed at 101 by Prasidh Krishna. But Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his innings and scored an unbeaten 70. Nitish Rana suffered an early setback after being dismissed at four, which is when skipper Riyan Parag showed up to handle business as he scored 32 and smacked the winning shot for Rajasthan to seal the win.

The Titans' bowling looked bleak as they failed to restrict the blazing partnership between Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Even though Prasidh Krishna scalped the uber important wicket of the 14-year-old, it was too late for them to capitalize. Rashid Khan took out Nitish Rana early after trapping him in an LBW.
