Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated the Gujarat Titans (GT) with eight wickets
RR won the toss and chose to bowl first in the match. They couldn’t do a good job in the first innings, and the bowlers of the Rajasthan Royals were taken to the cleaners by Shubman Gill (84) and Jos Butler (50*), who were top two performers of the Gujarat Titans.
For the Royals in Rajasthan, Mahesh Tekshana got two wickets, while Johra Archer and Sandeep Sharma bagged one wicket each to limit the Gujarat Titan to 4/209.
Chasing the target, Vaibhav Suryavanshi came out burning all his guns and he ran 101 from 38 balls. Yashasvi Jaiswal hit the ball 70 times as RR completed Run-Chase in 15.5 overs in an epic way.
Here’s how the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals qualify for the IPL Playoffs 2025
The Gujarat Titans currently hold the third position in the Indian Premier League 2025 points table, winning six with nine matches and 12 points. They have a good net run rate of 0.748.
GT has five more games left in IPL 2025, and to qualify for the playoffs, he will need to win at least two more games and reach 16 points. This guarantees top 4 spots.
If you win three of the remaining five games, you can finish in the top two, and even if you win just one game, you can still qualify, but you will have to rely on other outcomes.
Speaking of the Royals in Rajasthan, they are in eighth place in the ranking with 3 wins in 10 matches and 6 points. They have a net execution rate of -0.349.
The path ahead is extremely difficult for RR, as RR will need to reach 14 points in all four remaining games. It does not guarantee their spots, they should depend on other outcomes and net execution rates. On the other hand, another loss means curtains for them.
