IPL 2023, RR vs GT Emotional Rollercoaster: Hardik holds the reins, Rashid shows his wares, Afghans on target

An early finish It was a rare chance for a team to build its net run rate and it didn’t take the Gujarat Titans openers much time to break the back of the chase. Small totals have been tough to chase over the last week, but with Wriddhiman Saha taking the initiative in targeting Trent Boult, the biggest threat was neutralised early on. The Kiwi left-armer’s first three overs went for 28 without reward, and it was only a question of when, not if. Shubman Gill was allowed to play to his pace, before skipper Hardik Pandya came and made it a quick night for everyone as Adam Zampa had no answers to the onslaught. The result, with the margin of victory, put the Titans effectively two games ahead at the top of the table, also putting a dent in Rajasthan Royals’ numbers. They would do well to d...

Strategy to rotate bowlers helped us restrict Titans: Sanju Samson

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson attributed his team’s maiden win against defending champions Gujarat Titans to its strategy to rotate the bowlers, which helped the 2008 IPL champions to restrict Hardik Pandya’s side to 177 here on Sunday. After keeping the Titans to a manageable total, the Royals, despite getting a poor start and huge reverses in powerplay, were able to eke out a memorable three-wicket victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium. This is the Royals’ first win against the Titans as they had lost all three matches in IPL 2022, including the final. “I’m very happy to be on the winning side.

Shimron Hetmyer, Sanju Samson star as Rajasthan recover from horror start to beat Gujarat Titans

SYNOPSIS: In a battle of powerhouses between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals, it came down to who blinks first. On an evening when both camps traded punches, Gujarat were short on answers for the heavy blows that Shimron Hetmyer landed. Overcoming starting trouble Chasing 178, at 4/2 with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler dismissed, victory seemed improbable for Rajasthan Royals, especially with the manner in which Mohammed Shami was making the ball talk. And when Devdutt Padikkal – who had counter-attacked a bit – perished in the ninth over with the total reading 47, it got even more uphill for Rajasthan. At the halfway mark, the required run rate had climbed to 12.50 and Rashid Khan still had three overs left. In the next over, Rajasthan would lose Riyan Parag too and by the end of...

GT vs RR, IPL 2023 Emotional Rollercoaster: Gill’s bragging rights, underrated Sandeep Sharma, bowlers get in a word and squaring of the heavyweights

Heavyweight contest It was punch and counterpunch towards the end – a couple of big hits followed by a wicket – that kept the contest on the edge. Rajasthan Royals seemed out of it in the first half of the chase before Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer brought them back. Then Dhruv Jurel and Ravichandran Ashwin played vital cameos, leaving Hetmyer to finish it off. With Trent Boult coming out as high as No. 9, the West Indian knew he had to do it all on his own. The team needed seven off the final over bowled by Afghan wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad. A sprinted brace was followed by pulled six as Royals got some semblance of revenge for defeat to the Gujarat Titans in last year’s final at the same venue. It also set down a marker for the other teams as they aim to go one step further in this e...

IPL 2023, GT vs RR: Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals clash in contest of equals | Cricket News – Times of India

AHMEDABAD: It’s still early days in the IPL but the teams that finished in the top two last season – Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals – have continued from where they left off. Royals are perched on top of the table with six points from four matches and a healthy net run rate of 1.588 while the Titans are third in the table with the same number of points from four matches, albeit with a lower net run rate of 0.341.
