RR push towards big total as GT miss key chances in Ahmedabad
Rajasthan Royals moved to 155 for 3 in 14.1 overs against Gujarat Titans, with the innings building towards a strong finish after a late burst from Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel. The pair added quick runs, keeping the run rate close to 11, and setting the platform for a total in the 200-plus range.
Jurel has been steady, making 38 off 23 balls, while Hetmyer made an instant impact with a rapid 12 off just four deliveries. The innings has swung between wickets and boundaries, but Rajasthan have largely kept control through the middle overs.
Missed chances could prove costly for GT
Gujarat Titans, led by Rashid Khan, may feel they let the game slip slightly. There was a missed opportunity earlier when Hetmyer survived a chance that could have dismissed him for a duck. He went on to hit two quick sixes immediately after, shifting momentum back to Rajasthan.
There was also a close call involving Prasidh Krishna, who struck with Riyan Parag’s wicket but also went for runs in the same phase. Questions remain over whether Gujarat were too cautious with their review decisions, particularly on a possible edge and a tight catch chance that went their way but came after some hesitation.
Rajasthan eye 210-plus total
With wickets in hand and batters still to come, Rajasthan will aim to push past 210, possibly closer to 220, if the finish is strong. The recent overs have brought 63 runs despite losing two wickets, showing the balance between risk and reward.
For Gujarat, the missed chances and small lapses may prove costly if Rajasthan carry this momentum into the final overs.
