Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals Live Updates: Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans, two teams with 6 points from 4 matches each, square off in the 23rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season on Sunday. Both teams are coming into the contest on the back of victories.
Gujarat Titans, coming off a tough away clash against Punjab Kings in Mohali, would be aiming to climb to the top of the table when they take on leaders Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Ahmedabad on Sunday. History is on Hardik Pandya's side as the team has won all three games against the Royals so far, and that would certainly play on the minds of the Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan outfit at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Who can forget the Titans' seven-wicket victory in the IPL 2022 final in only their first year, with Pandya's side making it a one-sided contest, winning with 11 balls to spare.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam and his opening partner Mohammad Rizwan on Saturday achieved a huge milestone during the second T20I against New Zealand at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Babar and Rizwan equalled Indian duo Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul's record of most 50-run partnerships (10) in T20Is. Babar and Rizwan led the charge for Pakistan as the hosts took a 2-0 lead in five-match series against a depleted New Zealand side.
Nitish Rana and Hrithik Shokeen got involved in a bitter on-field spat after the former's dismissal during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians in Mumbai on Sunday. Rana has been enjoying a brilliant run of form in the ongoing tournament but he ended up miscuing a shot off Shokeen's bowling. The ball went up quite a bit and substitute fielder Ramandeep Singh made no mistake in completing the catch. Shokeen decided to give a small send-off to the KKR skipper and that resulted in a war of words between the two cricketers. Both could be seen shouting at each other as teammates and match officials tried to keep them separate.
Arjun Tendulkar made his debut for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai on Sunday and the fans on social media wasted no time in congratulating him on the momentous occasion. Arjun, the son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has been a part of the franchise for the last two years as he was picked up for the base price of Rs 20 lakh ahead of IPL 2021. The left-arm medium pacer started proceedings for MI as he was given the responsibility to bowl the first over. Arjun also created history as he and father Sachin became the first father-son duo to play in the Indian Premier League.
Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals would be keen to break the jinx and show past results don't matter much when they face Gujarat Titans -- a side they have never defeated -- in IPL 2023 on Sunday. The Royals' top order has been one of the most devastating this season with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson helping the side to the highest average powerplay score of 66.8 among 10 teams in IPL 2023. Besides, Buttler's powerplay strike rate of 196.6 is the best among batters, not to forget that he has scored a whopping 114 runs in those crucial six overs so far. Also Jaiswal's 92 at a strike rate of 184 in the powerplay overs so far is something the Titan's won't take lightly.
Punjab Kings went into the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow for a Saturday evening contest with the Lucknow Super Giants and walked out with a 2-wicket win in a close contest. The Super Giants were led by KL Rahul, who scored 74 runs (56b, 8x4, 1x6) to help them set a target of 160 runs. Sam Curran, who was leading the Kings in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, was the pick of the bowlers and picked up three wickets. The Kings chased this down with 3 deliveries to spare, catapulted to the win by Sikander Raza's first IPL half-century (57, 41b, 4x4, 3x6) and a fiery unbeaten 23 off 10 balls by Shahrukh Khan.
