Gujarat\u2019s 19-year-old wrist spinner Yash Raj Punja got the breakthrough as Sudharan was caught in the 11th over.<\/p>\n
Gill added 32 with Jos Buttler (13) and another 35 off 18 balls with Washington Sundar, before he was caught in the 17th over.<\/p>\n
Sundar\u2019s cameo \u2013 37 not out off 20 balls \u2013 including three sixes, pushed Gujarat past 200. Rahul Tewatia (14 not out) applied the finishing touches with two sixes in four balls.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey batted really well,\u201d said Rajasthan captain Yashasvi Jaiswal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are days when you cannot bowl how you want to.\u201d<\/p>\n
In reply, Sooryavanshi put Rajasthan on course initially with 38 runs off only 17 balls.<\/p>\n
The turning point came in the third over when the 15-year-old holed out off Mohammed Siraj.<\/p>\n
Rabada then struck twice in successive overs. He had stand-in skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal caught for three, and then removed Shimron Hetmyer for six.<\/p>\n
Dhurv Jurel responded with 24 off 10 balls, hitting three sixes in Siraj\u2019s third over. But Khan bowled him in the eighth over to start Rajasthan\u2019s collapse. Two balls later, Khan bowled Donovan Ferreira for four.<\/p>\n
The Afghanistan veteran spinner was nearly unplayable, running through the middle order, as Rajasthan slipped to 7-136 in 13.5 overs.<\/p>\n
Khan broke a 24-run partnership between Ravindra Jadeja (38) and Shubham Dubey (15), dismissing both batters in successive overs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to hit the right lengths in this game. Modern day cricket requires many variations,\u201d said Khan.<\/p>\n
He has 15 wickets so far this season after taking only nine in 15 matches last season and 10 the year before.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last couple seasons were unusual for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had only two months to get back to the field after my injury. I have been more consistent this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holder finished the job with a quick three wickets for 12 runs across 15 deliveries. It was Gujarat\u2019s biggest win, by runs, in the IPL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rashid Khan took four wickets for 33 runs as Gujarat Titans thumped Rajasthan Royals for a 77-run win…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":660904,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-660903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=660903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/660904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=660903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=660903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=660903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
