IPL 2023 Live, Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals Score Updates: They have done it! Rajasthan Royals have finally ended the winning streak of Gujarat Titans against them. RR led by Sanju Samson have avenged the IPL finale defeat as they thrashed Gujarat Titans by three wickets on their home ground on Sunday. Shimron Hetmyer and RR skipper were the guiding forces in the Sunday thriller. Hetmyer smashed 56 off 26 balls.
Head-to-head analysis showed that GT had beaten RR in all three matches in previous encounters and it looked like the trend would continue tonight as well. Rajasthan Royals were struggling from the word go. Gujarat Titans looked pretty much in control of the IPL match 23. Md Shami’s superb bowling stifled the Royals right from ball one. His final tally read 3/25. The powerplay ended with Royals managing just 26 runs on the board.
