By Rajasthan Royals Break Losing Streak with Record-Breaking Victory
Rajasthan Royals IPL 2025 campaign found new life at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, where they crushed the Gujarat Titans with a commanding eight-wicket victory — snapping their five-match losing streak. When a team is desperate for a win, magic can happen — and that’s exactly what unfolded in this unforgettable match.
Fueled by a historic innings from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the Royals didn’t just win — they rewrote history and reignited their playoff hopes.
The Young Star Steals the Show
It’s not often that a 14-year-old takes center stage in one of the world’s biggest T20 tournaments, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi proved that age is just a number.
Opening the innings, Suryavanshi dismantled the Titans’ bowling attack with ruthless precision.
He smashed a sensational century off just 35 balls, becoming:
- The youngest player ever to score a T20 hundred
- The fastest Indian to score an IPL century
- The player with the second-fastest century in IPL history overall
Suryavanshi’s explosive innings included 11 sixes and 7 fours, covering almost 94 runs purely in boundaries.
He was fearless, innovative, and showed maturity beyond his years.
Record-Breaking Partnership
Suryavanshi wasn’t alone in this stunning chase.
He was perfectly supported by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who anchored the innings calmly.
Together, they stitched an incredible 166-run partnership — the highest-ever opening stand for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL history.
While Suryavanshi dominated with fireworks, Jaiswal played the perfect second fiddle, rotating the strike smartly and unleashing timely boundaries.
Jaiswal remained unbeaten on 70 runs, ensuring that the Royals chased down the 210-run target comfortably with 26 balls to spare.
Breaking the Losing Curse
The win could not have come at a better time for the Royals.
Before this match, they were in a downward spiral, losing five games on the trot and slipping dangerously down the points table.
This victory not only restored their confidence but also brought life back to their campaign.
They now have renewed hopes of making it to the playoffs if they build momentum from here.
More than just the two points, this victory brought belief, unity, and excitement back to the Royals camp.
How Gujarat Titans Lost the Grip
It wasn’t that Gujarat Titans batted poorly.
Led by skipper Shubman Gill’s classy half-century, they posted a strong total of 209/5.
Contributions from Sai Sudharsan and David Miller helped them cross the 200-run mark.
However, their bowlers simply had no answers once Suryavanshi went on the attack.
Their pace attack was neutralized, and even Rashid Khan, their star spinner, found no success against the teenager’s aggressive strokeplay.
Fielding errors and a lack of early wickets only worsened Gujarat’s position.
Cricket World Reacts
Suryavanshi’s phenomenal innings sent shockwaves across the cricketing world.
- Sachin Tendulkar tweeted: “Absolutely fearless batting from Vaibhav Suryavanshi. A star is born!”
- Yuvraj Singh praised the young gun’s natural hitting ability.
- Rahul Dravid, the Royals coach, was seen applauding enthusiastically, despite recovering from a recent injury.
Fans flooded social media with praises, memes, and emotional posts — celebrating the rise of a new prodigy in Indian cricket.
What This Means for the Royals
Apart from the obvious points boost, this victory gives the Royals a huge morale lift.
They now know they have an X-factor in Vaibhav Suryavanshi, someone who can single-handedly turn matches around.
With players like Jaiswal, Samson, Hetmyer, and now Suryavanshi in the lineup, Rajasthan Royals suddenly look like a formidable batting powerhouse.
The key will be consistency.
The Royals must capitalize on this momentum and address their bowling issues if they want to make a serious push for the IPL 2025 playoffs.
