Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Blazing Century Powers RR to Crushing Win Over GT | IPL 2025

RR vs GT: A Match for the History Books

At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, cricket fans witnessed pure carnage as Rajasthan Royals (RR) demolished Gujarat Titans (GT) by 8 wickets with a staggering 25 balls to spare in Match 47 of IPL 2025. The hero of the night was the sensational Vaibhav Suryavanshi, whose 101 off 38 balls lit up the stadium and stunned the opposition.

GT Sets a Strong Total, But Not Strong Enough

Batting first, GT posted 209/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Captain Shubman Gill led from the front with a brilliant 84 off 50 balls, featuring elegant strokes and authoritative pulls. Sai Sudharsan provided solid support with 39 off 30 balls, ensuring a strong platform.

However, despite their efforts, GT bowlers found it hard to defend the total. Maheesh Theekshana (2/35) was the pick of the bowlers, while Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma chipped in with a wicket each but couldn’t contain the Royals’ fiery batting.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Show Steals the Night

Chasing 210, RR made their intentions clear from the first ball. Vaibhav Suryavanshi unleashed a breathtaking assault on the GT bowlers, smashing the fastest fifty of IPL 2025 and continuing to dominate every bowler that came his way.

His 101-run knock came off just 38 deliveries, laced with towering sixes and blistering boundaries — with monster hits measuring 90m, 91m, and 93m. His fearless approach dismantled GT’s bowling attack and broke the back of the chase within the powerplay itself.

Alongside him, Yashasvi Jaiswal provided calm aggression, crafting an unbeaten 70 off 40 balls, playing exquisite shots and keeping the scoreboard ticking. Riyan Parag added the finishing touches with a fiery 32 off 15 balls*, ensuring RR crossed the line comfortably at 212/2 in just 15.5 overs.

Other Highlights from the Match

Jos Buttler earlier showed his class with a brisk 50 off 26 balls*, punishing bowlers like Wanindu Hasaranga with multiple sixes and fours in one over.
Rashid Khan remained economical for GT, finishing with 1/24 in 4 overs, but lacked support from the other end.
Toss Update: Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl first — a decision that proved decisive.

What This Means for the IPL 2025 Table

With this victory, Rajasthan Royals continue their strong march towards the IPL 2025 playoffs, while Gujarat Titans, despite their valiant batting effort, need to regroup quickly to stay in contention.
