RR vs GT, IPL 2025: It was a night like no other as a 14-year-old smashed the cricket ball like never before. Vaibhav Suryavanshi brought Jaipur to a standstill with his aggressive strokeplay against Gujarat on Monday. Not only did Vaibhav's knock keep Rajasthan afloat for a playoff spot, but also a new star was born. Vaibhav dealt majorly in sixes. His knock was laced with 11 sixes as he brought up his century in merely 35 balls. The Gujarat bowlers were at the receiving end as most were taken to the cleaners.

Can RR Still Qualify?

Royals hold eighth place on the IPL 2025 standings with six points and have a net run rate of -0.349. RR have four more matches left in the tournament, which they have to win, that too by big margins, which can help them to have a better net run rate. Apart from winning themselves, they would also have to rely on the results of other games. 

Rajasthan take on Mumbai in their next game on May 1. With the new-found momentum, they would like to beat Mumbai which certainly would be no mean feat.
