Gujarat Titans continued their red-hot streak to keep Rajasthan Royals winless in Jaipur with a 77-run win, marking their biggest ever triumph in their IPL sojourn. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan set up a meaty total with the bat, before the bowlers ran through the batting lineup to catapult Gujarat Titans to second position on the points table with only net run-rate separating them from table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad, who recently usurped Punjab Kings from the throne.
Gujarat Titans fly back home to face Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday in a contest that could hand the winner a foot in the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals are set for another long break and do not play for the next week, taking the field against Delhi Capitals in Delhi on Sunday, May 17.
