Rajasthan Royals Batting: 210/6 in 20 Overs

The opening stand was the foundation of the innings. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal put on 70 runs in just 6.2 overs, setting up a platform that middle-order batter Dhruv Jurel then exploited with a destructive 73 off 42 balls. Jurel’s knock – at a strike rate of 173.81 – was the innings anchor in the truest T20 sense.

All five GT bowlers conceded more than 9 runs per over. Siraj’s 12.00 economy was the most expensive of the innings.

Gujarat Titans Batting: 204/8 in 20 Overs

GT were well-placed through their powerplay and early middle overs, but Ravi Bishnoi’s introduction changed the trajectory of the chase entirely. B Sai Sudharsan’s 73 off 44 gave GT a strong foundation that the rest of the order could not convert into a winning total.

Bishnoi’s 4/41 in 4 overs was the match-deciding performance. His entry at over 7 – when GT were 78/1 – initiated a collapse where 6 wickets fell while GT scored 83 runs across overs 7–15. GT maintained scoring but kept losing wickets, repeatedly damaging their chase structure at critical moments. Entering the death at 161/7, they needed 50 off 5 overs with 3 wickets in hand – a position the remaining batting could not convert.

Archer and Deshpande combined for 0 wickets and 98 runs from 7 overs – the critical bowling failure that allowed GT to accelerate beyond 229.

Rajasthan Royals Chase: 152 All Out in 16.3 Overs

The chase was effectively over by 8. Top-order batters fell rapidly – RR were 91/5 inside 8 overs with a required rate already above 16. Ravindra Jadeja’s 38 off 25 provided brief resistance in the middle overs, but once Rashid removed him in over 13.5, the tail offered nothing substantial.
