In Match 47 of IPL 2025, Rajasthan Royals (RR) delivered a spectacular performance against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

Let’s dive deep into the biggest moments of this thrilling encounter.
GT’s Strong Start: Gill and Buttler Dominate
Winning the toss and choosing to bat first, Gujarat Titans got off to a solid start.
Shubman Gill, once again proving why he’s considered one of the best young batters, led the charge with an outstanding innings of 84 runs off just 50 balls. His timing, placement, and calculated aggression were on full display.
Partnering him towards the end was Jos Buttler, who remained unbeaten with a rapid-fire 50 off 26 balls*.
Thanks to their brilliant efforts, GT posted a competitive total of 209/4 in their 20 overs.
RR bowlers, especially Maheesh Theekshana (2/35), tried to pull things back in the middle overs, but the Titans ensured they crossed the 200-mark — a psychological advantage in T20 cricket.
The Suryavanshi Show: History in the Making
If anyone thought that a 210-run target would pressure a teenager, Vaibhav Suryavanshi proved them wrong — in grand style.
The 14-year-old sensation displayed maturity beyond his years, smashing his way to a 101-run masterpiece in just 38 balls.
His innings included a jaw-dropping 11 sixes and 7 fours, keeping the Jaipur crowd on their feet with every breathtaking shot.
With this innings, Suryavanshi not only became the youngest centurion in T20 cricket history but also recorded the second-fastest century in IPL history — an astonishing feat on such a grand stage.
Jaiswal: The Steady Anchor
While Suryavanshi played the aggressive role, Yashasvi Jaiswal played a composed hand at the other end.
His 70 off 40 balls* was a lesson in controlled aggression, excellent running between the wickets, and tactical shot selection.
Together, Suryavanshi and Jaiswal stitched a 166-run opening partnership, the highest ever for Rajasthan Royals in IPL history.
Their chemistry, understanding, and dominance completely took the game away from Gujarat Titans within the first 15 overs.
Closing the Chase: Parag Finishes in Style
After Suryavanshi’s dismissal in the 14th over, Riyan Parag joined Jaiswal at the crease.
Showing positive intent from the get-go, Parag smashed a quickfire 32 off just 14 balls*, ensuring there were no last-minute hiccups.
The Royals chased down the target comfortably in just 15.5 overs, winning by eight wickets and boosting their Net Run Rate (NRR) significantly.
