Jaipur, Apr 28 (UNI) A 14-year-old prodigy, a record-shattering century, and a merciless chase — Rajasthan Royals (RR) delivered a night to remember at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium as they steamrolled Gujarat Titans (GT) by a commanding margin.
Chasing a daunting 210, Rajasthan’s pursuit turned into a spectacle, lit up by the astonishing Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who announced himself on the big stage with a breathtaking 38-ball 101 — the second-fastest hundred in IPL history. Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal applied the finishing touches as RR romped home with 4.5 overs to spare.
Gujarat had earlier posted what looked a defendable total, but Rajasthan's response was electric from the outset. Opening alongside Jaiswal, young Vaibhav set the tone immediately, launching Mohammed Siraj for a towering six over long-on to get off the mark. Jaiswal quickly joined the assault, hammering a 93m monster off Ishant Sharma in the second over.
