IPL 2025 RR vs GT Update:
 

On a historic night at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi lit up the IPL with a blistering 35-ball century – the second fastest in tournament history. He also brought up his half-century in just 17 balls, setting a new IPL record for the fastest fifty.

Chasing a challenging target of 210 set by Gujarat Titans, Suryavanshi’s explosive knock (7 fours and 11 sixes) helped Rajasthan Royals seal an emphatic eight-wicket win with 25 balls to spare. His innings included brutal assaults on Ishant Sharma (28 runs in an over) and IPL debutant Karim Janat (30 runs in an over).

While Yashasvi Jaiswal contributed a solid 40-ball 70*. It was Suryavanshi’s fireworks that stole the spotlight. His 35-ball ton ranks only behind Chris Gayle’s 30-ball century (2013) in IPL’s all-time list. At just 14 years and 32 days old, he also became the youngest player ever to score a fifty in IPL history – breaking the records previously held by Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson by several years.

First Innings Recap:

Earlier, Gujarat Titans rode on Shubman Gill’s stylish 84 (50) and Jos Buttler’s quickfire unbeaten 50 (26) to post 209/4. Sai Sudharsan’s handy 39 saw him grab the Orange Cap.

The game was crucial for both sides: Rajasthan Royals, sitting ninth, needed a win to stay in the playoff race, while Gujarat Titans, second on the table, were looking to consolidate their position.

Key Moments:

• Suryavanshi’s Historic Knock:
  He reached 50 off just 17 balls, punishing Ishant Sharma mercilessly, and then stormed to 100 in 35 balls — hammering sixes and boundaries almost at will.
   
• Brief Slowdown:
  After a rapid start (81/0 in 5 overs), RR’s scoring slowed briefly in the 6th and 7th overs. However, Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan couldn’t contain the Royals for long.
   
• Massive Acceleration:
  Rajasthan regained momentum, with Suryavanshi smashing 30 runs off Karim Janat’s first IPL over, soon reaching his milestone century.
   
• End of a Spectacular Innings:
  Prasidh Krishna eventually dismissed Suryavanshi for 101 (38 balls, SR 265.78), but the damage was done.
   
• Finishing the Job:
  Nitish Rana fell cheaply, but Jaiswal and skipper Riyan Parag guided the Royals home comfortably.
   

Player of the Match:

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, unsurprisingly, was awarded Player of the Match. Speaking after the game, he said:

"It feels amazing. It’s my first IPL century and only my third innings. I’ve been practising hard over the last few months and it’s all paying off. I just focus on the ball, not the ground. Batting with positive partners gives me confidence. Honestly, it feels like a dream. I’m not thinking about the pressure or bowlers targeting me — I just want to keep playing my game."

Final Score:

• Rajasthan Royals: 212/2 (15.5 overs)
   
• Gujarat Titans: 209/4 (20 overs)
