Toss Drama & Early Action
RR skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl first — a decision influenced by the expected evening dew. But it was GT who brought the heat! Despite losing Shubman Gill early to a magical delivery from Jofra Archer, Sai Sudharsan held the innings together with proactive strokeplay, helping GT race to 75/1 after 7.2 overs.
“Archer bends it like Beckham, but GT had the better playlist tonight!”
Titans Batting Firepower
- Sudharsan looked solid, accelerating early unlike previous games.
- Jos Buttler, surprisingly batting for GT in this match (as per source info), took his time but ensured a solid anchor role.
- Sherfane Rutherford and Rahul Tewatia played smartly to post a challenging score.
Bowling that Broke the Royals!
GT’s bowling unit, led by Mohammed Siraj and Sai Kishore, tightened the screws from the get-go. While Rashid Khan has had a quiet season so far, Kishore stepped up beautifully, and Siraj was on fire — especially sweet for him after leaving RCB.
Siraj’s emotional moment after a game-winning spell was the talk of the match.
“Changed my jersey, not my fire.” – Siraj, after rattling RR’s top order
Turning Points:
- Jofra Archer’s Comeback Spell: He struck early to dismiss Shubman Gill with a seaming delivery.
- Sai Sudharsan’s Consistency: Anchored the innings with grace and grit.
- Siraj’s Redemption: With 9 wickets in just 4 games, Siraj is proving to be GT’s X-factor!
- Sai Kishore steps up: While Rashid Khan is still warming up, Sai Kishore has emerged as the new spin spearhead.
Tactical Insights:
- GT’s Bowling Brilliance: Restricting teams below 180 repeatedly—credit goes to a smartly rotated attack featuring Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Kishore.
- RR’s Hit & Miss: Despite a power-packed batting lineup and Archer’s fire, the Royals lacked cohesion in this encounter.
“We’ve got our plans right. The bowlers are executing perfectly.” – Washington Sundar on GT’s consistency
“Shubman’s dismissal gave us momentum, but we failed to convert,” – Sanju Samson
Scorecard Highlights:
👉 GT 75/1 (after 7.2 overs)
