Thank you for joining us on an incredible day of IPL 2025. Rajasthan Royals beat Gujarat Titans, and 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi etches his name into the history books forever. One of the all-time great innings of this magnificent league.

Join us tomorrow as Delhi Capitals take on Kolkata Knight Riders. Until then, that's a wrap. Goodnight.

Rajasthan Royals stay afloat in IPL 2025. They needed to win today, and they have. The fastest 200+ chase in IPL history, led by the fastest century by an Indian in IPL history. It was something that even got Rahul Dravid off his wheelchair in ecstasy.

3 wins now for RR in 10 matches. They stay alive in the playoff race.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi wins the Player of the Match award, no surprises there. Just one of the greatest knocks in IPL history. His voice isn't even broken fully yet, that's how young he is. A sensational, sensational night.

Gujarat Titans must be shell-shocked. When Shubman Gill decided to not step on the field for RR's chase, he surely wouldn't have expected things to pan out like this. GT fall down to third, as their NRR takes a big hit and goes below Mumbai Indians'. RCB stay top.

What we've just seen take place is beyond belief. We knew he was good, we knew about his power. But none of us, surely none of us, expected THIS. On just his third match in IPL, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has broken multiple records. 101 off 38, 11 sixes. Wow.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, at the age of 14 years and 32 days, has become the youngest-ever to score a century in T20 cricket.  He has smashed the record of compatriot Vijay Zol, who scored a ton at the age of 18 years 118 days for Maharashtra against Mumbai in 2013.

Rajasthan Royals beat Gujarat Titans! Stand-in captain Riyan Parag finishes off in style with a maximum over mid-wicket. Yashasvi Jaiswal stays unbeaten on a 40-ball 70. But the show-stealer? 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who played a knock that will forever have its own chapter in the IPL record books.

RR 212/2 (15.5) beat GT 209/4 (20) by 8 wickets.

Riyan Parag tries to go big, but doesn't connect. But he is dropped by Mohammed Siraj in the deep. Jaiswal picks up a boundary next ball, well-timed late cut through backward point. RR need just 4 to win!

RR 206/2 (15.4)

Riyan Parag picks up 16 runs against Sai Kishore. RR have a mountain to climb, but surely they pick up their third win of IPL 2025 today. They won't be eliminated from the playoff race, and they have a 14-year-old wonderkid to thank.

RR 199/2 (15)

First boundary for Riyan Parag, as Sai Kishore comes into the attack for his first over. Slashed hard, goes over gully for 4. Two balls later, clears the ropes! Massive hit over mid-wicket for 6. GT fans will be wondering why Sai Kishore has been brought in so late. RR need just 17 more.

RR 193/2 (14.3)

Rashid Khan gets a wicket! Nitish Rana is gone. Hit a boundary off his first ball, tries an interesting reverse sweep on his second ball but misses it. Plumb on the pads, umpire gives out, and even DRS shows three reds.

RR 171/2 (12.3)

OUT! Vaibhav Suryavanshi's record-breaking, history-making IPL century comes to an end. Bowled by Prasidh Krishna. But every bowler has been hit around the park. The Sawai Mansingh stands up to applaud. The dugout is up and smiling. Jaiswal gives an embrace. Every single Gujarat Titans player congratulates him. What a knock.

101 off 38 balls. 7 fours, 11 sixes.

RR 166/1 (11.5)

Yashasvi Jaiswal now gets to his half-century in just 31 balls. A composed knock from him as well, whilst watching along history being written at the other end. 4 and 6 off Prasidh in the next over as well.

RR 165/0 (11.2)

VAIBHAV SURYAVANSHI 100! Off just 35 balls! Fastest century by an Indian in IPL history. Youngest player to hit an IPL century. Youngest player to hit a T20 century in history. History. History. History. Smashes a six over mid-wicket to get to the historic milestone. 

RR 151/0 (10.2)

Karim Janat into the attack, but the results are the same! 6, 4, 6! First pummelled over mid-wicket, then slammed through the off-side for 4, and then smashed for another six! Absolutely ridiculous hitting. And then 4 more, top edge over the keeper's head. Then driven through the covers for 4. And he finishes the over with another maximum! He is up to 94 off 34 balls!

RR 144/0 (10)

Another big hit from the blade of Vaibhav Suryavanshi! The onslaught just does not stop. Rocks back and displays his brute power once again. 17 comes off Prasidh's over in the end. We are witnessing history here, folks.

RR 108/0 (8)

Don't forget about Yashasvi Jaiswal! He's going great guns at the other end two. Treats himself to two boundaries in a row off Prasidh. First a well-executed upper cut, over the keeper's head. Then through fine-leg for 4 more. 100 up for RR in 7.4 overs.

RR 101/0 (7.4)

Stand-in captain Rashid Khan puts a much-needed brake on the RR flow of runs. Just 4 off his first over. Couple of close calls with Suryavanshi, who for the first time today, struggled to pick a bowler. Still going at 13 an over, though.

RR 91/0 (7)

Big LBW appeal by Rashid Khan, who has come into the attack. Umpire says not out, Rashid goes up with a DRS review. No bat, straight onto the pads, but hawkeye shows Rashid's delivery pitching outside leg. Suryavanshi show will go on.

RR 87/0 (6.1)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, of course, has also become the youngest-ever player to score a half-century in IPL history. A ridiculous display of hitting. RR have notched up 87 runs in the powerplay. What a display of power-hitting.

RR 87/0 (6)

STUNNING! 6, 6, 4 off Washington Sundar and Vaibhav Suryavanshi gets to his half-century! First IPL 50 for Suryavanshi. It has come in just 17 balls, fastest fifty in IPL 2025. The most sensational bit of power-hitting you can see this year. I'm in disbelief.

RR 81/0 (5)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has gone absolutely berserk! 28 off Ishant Sharma's over. This is absolutely stunning! RR are hammering their way through the 210-run target. 

RR 60/0 (4)

Risky! Ishant Sharma changes his pace, goes for a slower one, Suryavanshi doesn't connect well, and a chance for the fielder at mid-off, but it kisses his hands and runs away for 4. Two balls later, Vaibhav swings again, gets a top edge but still gets 6!

50 up for RR, quickest this season. 

RR 54/0 (3.5)

Second six for Vaibhav Suryavanshi! Short delivery from Ishant Sharma and hooked over fine-leg by the 14-year-old. Next ball is huge. It is massive, it's gone all the way over mid-wicket for another maximum! He is fearless. He is good! 

RR 44/0 (3.2)

Yashasvi Jaiswal has got RR off to a great start here, once again. Superb flick of the wrists to get 4 through mid-wicket. Third boundary of the over. Excellent timing, he is up to 21 off just 11 balls. 

RR 32/0 (3)

Yashasvi Jaiswal goes for a big shot against Mohammed Siraj, doesn't connect well but still grabs 4, one bounce into the fence. No fielder out there at deep mid-wicket. Next ball is hit beautifully, slammed through mid-off!

RR 28/0 (2.4)

BANG! Yashasvi Jaiswal has been dropped, and now makes GT pay. The left-hander has quietly been in superb form, and he needs to play a big knock today to get RR home. Smashes a six over mid-wicket, what a shot.

RR 19/0 (2)

Yashasvi Jaiswal tries to play a big shot off Ishant first ball, but mistimes and sends it high up. But Jos Buttler has dropped it! He called for it, had time to settle himself underneath, but has put it down. Oh dear. How costly will that be?

RR 12/0 (1.1)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, what a shot! Whacks Siraj over long-on, that is massive! Second ball goes for a maximum. Terrific, terrific shot. Next ball, not so well timed but falls just short of the fielder at mid-off.

RR 10/0 (0.4)

Gujarat Titans have substituted Shubman Gill off! Ishant Sharma comes on as the Impact Player. Very big call, and the captain won't take the field in the second innings. Rashid Khan will captain GT during RR's run chase. Wonder whether there's any injury.

Shubman Gill continues to go from strength-to-strength in IPL 2025, following up his 90 against KKR with 84 tonight. Jos Buttler then showed why RR should've retained him, oozing class, switching gears to perfection in his half-century.

This is a do-or-die game for Rajasthan Royals, but there work is cut out. A big target to chase to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Remember, defeat would ensure that RR are eliminated from IPL 2025. A lot of responsibility on Jaiswal and Suryavanshi to get them off to a good start.

Jos Buttler gets his half-century! 26 ball knock by the Englishman against his old side. A good total put on board by the high-flying Titans, and Rajasthan Royals will have to put in more than a decent effort to chase this down.

GT 209/4 (20 overs)

RR Target: 210

First ball faced by Shahrukh Khan and it goes to the fence! Whacked through point, no fielder out there. Jofra Archer usually bowls very well at the death, but today he isn't getting his lengths right consistently.

GT 206/4 (19.3)

Rahul Tewatia slams Jofra Archer for a maximum! Over backward point and into the stands. Perfect start to the final over, 200 up for GT. Next ball, he's gone! Misses his shot, the ball crashes onto the pads. DRS review shows three reds, Tewatia departs.

GT 202/4 (19.2)

Washington Sundar doesn't get the connection, trying to go big. Shimron Hetmyer takes a good diving catch, and Sandeep Sharma gets a wicket. Good over all in all by Sandeep, just 9 runs and a wicket. 

GT 196/3 (19)

Jos Buttler into the 40s! What a gem of a knock he's playing against his former side. 22-ball 43 now for the Englishman. Fourth six of the evening. Jofra Archer or Sandeep Sharma, it doesn't matter for Buttler. 

Two balls later, 6 by Washington Sundar, over fine-leg! And then Jos Buttler ends the over with another boundary!

GT 187/2 (18)

Shubman Gill is gone! He falls short of his ton yet again, he departs for 84 off 50 balls. Goes for a maximum, finds the fielder at long-off. Riyan Parag takes a good catch. Maheesh Theekshana grabs his second wicket of the evening.

GT 167/2 (16.4)

Excellent news, the RR physios seemed to have worked their magic. However, he bowls a loose delivery to Jos Buttler who sends the ball to the fence. Sandeep still seems in a bit of discomfort, as the over comes to an end.

GT 158/1 (16)

Sandeep Sharma is down on the ground in pain. Commentators speculate that he might've dislocated something. The physios rush onto the field, and Gill cannot even look. We hope everything is alright for the pacer.

GT 154/1 (15.4)

JOS BUTTLER! Oh, he is making Rajasthan Royals and RR fans feel his absence. He is showing them exactly what they're missing out on. He has taken Wanindu Hasaranga to the absolute cleaners here. The Sri Lankan goes wicketless, Buttler has gone berserk!

GT 149/1 (15)

That's even better from Shubman Gill. Gets down on one knee and pummells it over the mid-wicket region for a maximum. Scintillating shot by the GT captain. He is up to 77 now. Missed out on a century by 10 runs against KKR, he'll be hoping to get there today.

GT 125/1 (14)

SHUBMAN GILL! Yudhvir Charak misses his length. On the pads, and helped on its way by the Gujarat Titans captain. He just looks to be playing in an unbeatable zone at the moment, and is nearing 400 runs this season. Takes 2 runs off the next ball, up to 71.

GT 119/1 (13.4)

Shubman Gill, wow! The GT captain looks in supreme form. Terrific hit over mid-wicket to get his second maximum of the evening. Takes GT past the 100-run mark as well. Jos Buttler now in the crease as well, he returns to Sawai Mansingh Stadium for the first time since leaving RR.

GT 107/1 (12)

Sai Sudharsan is gone! Maheesh Theekshana strikes for Rajasthan Royals. Sudharsan tries to go for the big shot over long-on, doesn't quite the connection. Finds Riyan Parag at long-on, safe as houses. Much-needed wicket for RR, the partnership ends at 93.

Sai Sudharsan falls 10 short of breaking Sachin's record to become the fastest to 1,500 IPL runs. But he has time to get it in the next few games.

GT 97/1 (11)

An excellent foundation once again laid for Gujarat Titans by Gill and Sai Sudharsan. No wickets lost after 10 overs. The bowling by RR hasn't been great, but Gill and Sai Sudharsan have proven exactly why they're the best opening duo in IPL 2025.

GT 92/0 (10)

Half-century for Shubman Gill! 50 off just 29 balls, he has been the aggressor, but also played some classy shots. GT's captain hitting form at the right stage. Smashed 90 against KKR, now well-set for yet another big score. Excellent knock.

GT 90/0 (9.3)

Sai Sudharsan ends Yudhvir's over with a maximum! Pitched short and slammed over mid-wicket for 6. Was getting slightly slow, but that six will help him break the shackles. He is now just 12 runs away from breaking Sachin's record.

GT 87/0 (9)

Yudhvir Charak back in for his second over, but he bowls a loose one to Gill. Angling down the pads, Gill helps it through fine leg for a boundary. Up to 45, approaching his half-century rapidly now. GT keep rolling.

GT 78/0 (8.1)

Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have faced 24 balls each, but the GT captain has made 10 more runs, and is on 41. Both batters have been dropped once each in the outfield. It is a must-win game for Rajasthan Royals but they look clueless at the moment.

GT 74/0 (8)

First maximum of the innings, and it comes off Shubman Gill's blade! Riyan Parag has come into the attack, and he is punished over mid-wicket, just goes for 6. Next ball, Gill doesn't time it so well, diving effort by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the deep but he fails to hold on. Difficult chance.

GT 64/0 (6.4)

50 up for Gujarat Titans! It has taken them 5.4 overs to reach it. More importantly, no wickets lost. Once again, an excellent start provided by the reliable duo of Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill. 53 runs amassed in the powerplay.

GT 53/0 (6)

Sai Sudharsan is up to 25 runs off 16 deliveries, and is chasing down the mark of 1500 IPL runs rapidly here. Remember, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for being the fastest to 1500 IPL runs, but Sai Sudharsan is 24 away from breaking that record.

Now Sai Sudharsan. Once again, soft hands, excellent wrists. Through mid-wicket for a boundary. The Gujarat Titans openers dealing in boundaries, and they haven't led the RR bowling get any edge early on.

GT 38/0 (4)

Glorious, Shubman Gill! Down the ground with absolute authority. Gill looks in fabulous touch, third boundary in a row for him. Took a few balls to settle in, but now he is on song. GT openers once again delivering.

GT 32/0 (3.3)

Shubman Gill oozing class. Pitched short, Gill slaps it through over the circle in typical Gill fashion, couple of bounces and into the fence. Next ball, even better hit! This time over mid-on, 4 more. Gill enters the party.

GT 27/0 (3)

No second over for Jofra Archer, Yudhvir Singh Charak has been handed the ball for the third over. Riyan Parag shuffling around his bowlers in the early phase to keep Sai Sudharsan and Gill guessing. 

GT 18/0 (2.1)

Sai Sudharsan dealing in boundaries in the early phases. Bowled full by Theekshana and slammed through the covers for 4. Oh, Sudharsan has been put down! Another drive through the off-side, straight towards Shimron Hetmyer at cover but he has dropped a sitter. Too casual.

GT 17/0 (2)

Was turning into a good first over by Jofra Archer, but Sai Sudharsan picks up a boundary on the final ball of the over. Flick of the wrists with the ball angling towards the pads, and towards the boundary it goes. 44 runs away from Sachin's record.

GT 6/0 (1)

Shubman Gill will also be under focus. The GT captain returned to form and smashed a scintillating 90 against former side KKR in their previous match. However, he will face the tough test of Jofra Archer early on.

With Gujarat Titans batting first, all eyes will be on 23-year-old opener Sai Sudharsan. He is just 49 runs away from becoming the fastest to reach 1,500 runs in IPL. The current record is jointly held by Sachin Tendulkar and Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Jos Buttler returns to the stadium he used to call home for many years. One of the big shock decisions during the retention phase was RR's decision to let Buttler go. The Englishman has been in terrific form in IPL 2025. Could he remind RR what they're missing today?

Gujarat Titans XI vs RR: B Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.

Expect Ishant Sharma to come in as the Impact substitute.

Rajasthan Royals XI vs GT: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma.

Expect Shubham Dubey to enter as the impact substitute.

Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag has won the toss and elected to bowl! No surprises at the decision, that has been the norm in IPL 2025. Expects dew to be a factor later in the game. A necessary toss to win for the home side.

RR make two changes. Theekshana and Yudhvir Charak replace Farooqi and Deshpande. And yes, Karim Janat is making his debut for GT.

Visuals implying that Afghan all-rounder Karim Janat is set to make his debut for Gujarat Titans today, against Rajasthan Royals. Hugs and embraces in the GT camp. But whose spot will he take? Shahrukh Khan or Sherfane Rutherford seem like the likely replacements.

Here's Gujarat Titans' probable XII vs RR: B Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma.

A more-or-less settled set-up for Gujarat Titans.

Here's Rajasthan Royals' probable XII vs GT: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Riyan Parag (c), Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Shubham Dubey, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Akash Madhwal, Sandeep Sharma.

Akash Madhwal could replace the misfiring Tushar Deshpande.

Gujarat Titans have played the least matches in IPL 2025 so far, but are still as high as second spot in the points table. They are the only team with a net run-rate higher than +1, and will take top spot back from RCB with a win today.

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has suffered an abdominal tear, which has seen him be ruled out of RR's last two matches. A big question mark is still there on his fitness, but the RR captain has reportedly practiced in training sessions.

However, his participation in today's match is not a certainty.

Sachin Tendulkar and Ruturaj Gaikwad jointly hold the record for the fastest to reach 1500 IPL runs, having done it in 44 innings. But Sai Sudharsan is just 49 runs away from that milestone, and has played only 33 innings so far. A huge chance for him to break Sachin's record tonight.

A bowling which looked like it could leak runs on paper has worked phenomenally on the field. Mohammed Siraj has found his mojo with the new ball, with 12 wickets this season. But the bigger revelation has been Prasidh Krishna, who has shone in the middle and death overs, and has 16 wickets!

Gujarat Titans batters are in a rich vein of form. Their top 3 have undeniably been the best-performing one in IPL 2025, with Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler all scoring more than 300 runs so far. 

RR spent a whopping combined sum of Rs 39 crore to retain Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer ahead of the mega auction. The trio have not been able to win games for RR on a consistent basis, faltering in crucial run-chases.

A lot of pressure on them now, with RR in a must-win state.

Rajasthan Royals have lost five matches in a row in a single IPL season for the first time in their history. Their last three matches have been lost from winnable positions in a run chase, with their middle order failing to close out games.

It is a completely different story for the visitors, Gujarat Titans. Led admirably by Ashish Nehra and Shubman Gill, Gujarat Titans have won six of their eight matches in IPL 2025 and can reclaim top spot with a win!

With two wins in nine matches, RR are on the brink of elimination from the IPL 2025 playoffs hunt. RR must win every single match from now on, and hope that results go their way, to stand a chance of making the knockouts.

A very warm welcome to one and all, to the live coverage of the IPL 2025 clash between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. We are at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur today, and the home team are under pressure to win!
