Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans made history at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur by coming back from being four wickets down and defeating Rajasthan Royals in dramatic fashion, breaking their unbeaten streak against them and winning by seven runs to secure an historic upset win against them for their debut IPL appearance.
Sanju Samson’s side remain at the top of the points table but suffered their first defeat of 2024 in their 2-1 loss against GT, falling down one place into sixth position and moving them up one position into seventh.
Titans bowlers staged an incredible comeback. After giving away 177 runs in six overs and struggling for momentum, their bowlers produced an outstanding turnaround performance to win their second match of the series against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCK).
Soon after, they began picking up wickets at an increasing rate and mounting pressure on Gujarat, ultimately all out for 198 runs in 19 overs – making their chase all that more difficult as there was much at stake for both teams.
Jos Buttler scored an astonishing 84 from just 24 balls to help the Royals post an impressive total of 197 in just 20 overs, marking his second-highest of the season and also setting a new IPL record with 566 sixes – surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s record by two more sixes!
Yuzvendra Chahal made a strong start for Rajasthan Royals’ bowling, picking up two early wickets before being hit hard by Shubman Gill in the 16th over. Yet Chahal came back strong, smashing Shubman Gill for two straight fours to put RR back ahead.
After taking three wickets in one over to leave their hosts reeling, Dwayne Smith made another stunning catch at deep midwicket that left Rahul Tewatia looking like a goner in an instant. Shubman Gill soon made an impactful contribution with some delightful shots that eased pressure off them both sides.
RRC will look to carry their good form into their match against Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on December 19th – which will be live streamed via Jio Cinema App and website – starting 7.30 PM IST. This match-up promises to be an intense contest between two of the premier sides in the tournament and should prove an exciting spectacle. A victory by RR would move them up into fourth position on the standings, while one for Titans could help push them all the way into eighth. Sanju Samson will be celebrating his 50th game as captain for Rajasthan Royals during this game, becoming only the second captain in IPL history after Shane Warne who captained 50 matches between 1984-1987. Samson holds an impressive 35-19 win/loss ratio during his 50 matches as captain – which ranks him joint highest-winning captain alongside Rohit Sharma and Sunil Narine.
RR vs GT
Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will square off against each other in the fourth match of IPL 2024 on Wednesday, April 10 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. With four consecutive wins under their belts, Rajasthan will aim to continue their run and keep up their perfect home record in this tournament.
The Titans will look to get back on track after suffering two consecutive defeats against CSK and LSG, having established a respectable track record against RR in previous encounters and hope to keep that trend going at home.
GT won their last encounter at Rajasthan fort by three wickets thanks to some late batting heroics from Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson, who shared a 130-run third wicket partnership to push their score up to 196 for 3 in 20 overs.
GT appeared doomed when they found themselves struggling at 157-6 after 17.3 overs, but Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia proved their worth and helped take them over the line with three wickets remaining.
Titans remain at the top of the league table with 16 points after 11 matches and will look to extend this run of success by defeating Delhi Daredevils this Sunday. Shubman Gill has been one of their major concerns and will need to step up as they try and avoid Hardik Pandya’s absence; both can have devastating effects.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won their last three matches against Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians before defeating Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets. Jos Buttler continues his fine form and looks to add another hundred. Yuzvendra Chahal has been outstanding with the ball for Royals and should lead their bowling unit against Gujarat batsmen; an fit Navdeep Saini could also contribute for them as visitors.
