On an excellent batting surface, RR captain Riyan Parag chose to bowl first after winning the toss.

Sai Sudharsan contributed a consistent score of 39. The most impressive bowler for RR was Maheesh Theekshana, who took two crucial wickets, namely Gill and Sudharsan.

Against a defenceless Gujarat bowling attack, he displayed courageous strokeplay with a stunning 101-run haul that included 13 fours and 7 sixes.
With a stylish 70* off 40 deliveries, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who stayed undefeated, provided strong backing for Suryavanshi’s assault. Following the fast losses of Nitish Rana (4 off 2) and Suryavanshi, captain Riyan Parag made sure there were no snags by leading RR home with a scorching undefeated 32*.
