Rajasthan Royals Secure Comprehensive Win Over Gujarat Titans By 58 Runs

Rajasthan Royals' Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to fire off strong, as he had to walk back after just six runs. Nitish Rana, who came in at number three, couldn't make an impact either. But skipper Sanju Samson tried to get things going with a 28-ball 41. Riyan Parag looked in good form but was dismissed at 26 and also seemed to have an interaction with the umpire over the DRS. After Dhruv Jurel was dismissed at 5, Shimron Hetmeyer did the heavy work as he scored a 32-ball 52. After his dismissal, it all went downhill for RR as the lower order couldn't withstand GT's bowling arsenal.

Prasidh Krishna was heavily beneficial for the side as he picked up a three-wicket haul. All of GT's bowlers picked up at least one wicket as Rashid Khan scalped two while Mohammed Siraj, Arshad Khan, Kulwant Khejroliya and Sai Kishore got a wicket each in the 2nd innings.
