RR vs GT Player of the Match: Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan wins POTM award for hos fantastic 24 (11), that helps GT win the game by 3 wickets. He also successfully scalped 1 wicket in the first innings.

RR vs GT Live Score: Sanju Samson reflecting on RR's first loss said:

"I think the last pull of the game. To be honest, I find it very hard to speak at the moment. I believe it's the toughest job in the tournament. When the captain loses a game, we are expected to pinpoint where we lost, actually.

So I think once the emotions settle down a bit and after a few hours, I might be able to tell you exactly where we lost. I believe, honestly, that in this tournament, you have to give credit to the Gujarat Titans. The way they bowled, batted, and fought until the last ball is truly commendable. That's the beauty of this tournament."

Captain Gill and Sai Sudharsan are opening the innings for GT in this chase. And the latter starts off with a delightful boundary against Boult. 

RR vs GT Live Score: Gujarat Titans Need 197 Runs To Win!

The Rajasthan Royals showcased a dazzling display of batting prowess, culminating in a formidable total of 197 runs in their allotted 20 overs, courtesy of stellar performances by Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag. Samson, leading from the front, played an exemplary captain's innings, remaining unbeaten on 68 runs.

The innings commenced with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler providing an explosive start, with Jaiswal's boundary setting the tone. Their partnership of 32 runs hinted at a promising foundation until Jaiswal fell victim to a delivery from Umesh Yadav after contributing 24 runs.

The introduction of Rashid Khan into the bowling attack proved ominous for the Royals, as he accounted for Buttler's dismissal, who managed just 8 runs, in the final over of the powerplay. However, undeterred by the setback, skipper Sanju Samson and the in-form Riyan Parag seized control, ensuring a consistent flow of runs and steering the team towards a commanding total. It would be interesting to see whether GT successfully manages to chase it down.

RR vs GT Live Score: Rain Plays Spoilsport

RR vs GT Live Score: ITS RAINING! ☔️

The much-awaited clash has been marred by rain. It's currently drizzling in Jaipur and the pitch is covered and the umbrellas are on. If the match fails to take place, there are chances that it would result in no result. As for the points, each team would be awarded 1 point each.

Interestingly, Matthew Wade of GT was practising in his full-tilt. He could be playing tonight given the weather allows us some game time.

RR vs GT Live Score: Pitch Report

In RR vs RCB clash, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis noted that the pitch at Jaipur made batting difficult in the first innings. However, conditions improved as the match progressed, especially under the lights. This trend was also evident in the RR vs DC game, where the pitch seemed a bit sticky. It's likely that we'll see similar conditions in the upcoming RR vs GT clash. Advantage for teams batting second, so the toss might come crucial.

RR vs GT Live Score: Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans have had a slow start to this season's IPL, particularly feeling the absence of Hardik Pandya, which has sometimes affected their confidence compared to previous seasons. Despite the leadership of Shubman Gill, supported by Rashid Khan, they seem to lack something crucial. However, as they face the formidable Rajasthan Royals, Gill and his team will aim to make a strong statement with a victory at the RR den.

Mohit Sharma, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Omarzai, and Noor Ahmad form the backbone of Gujarat's bowling attack, with Mohit Sharma being the standout performer so far. However, their batting hasn't quite reached its peak, with Gill, despite being the top scorer with 183 runs from 5 innings, not quite reaching his 2023 form since taking over the captaincy.

RR vs GT Live Score: Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals are playing with renewed confidence after impressive victories against Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, winning by 6 wickets each. Their earlier wins against Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals have added to their momentum. Led by Trent Boult and Nandre Burger, Rajasthan Royals' pace bowling is formidable, supported by experienced spinners Ashwin and Chahal. 

Despite their bowling strength, their batting lineup, including inform players like Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson, is equally impressive. Jos Buttler's recent century has boosted their morale, leading them to their best run since the IPL's inception in 2008. Another victory against Gujarat Titans would edge them closer to a playoff spot.

Shubman Gill's maiden season as an IPL skipper hasn't been the same. Neither he nor his team has been in top form, and neither has their performance been as good as it was in the previous two editions. GT has played five matches and has four points.

Sanju Samson's RR has been in red-hot form in the tournament, being unbeaten after four matches. Their last clash against Bengaluru saw the stamping force Rajasthan have been in the IPL 2024. 

Hello and welcome to the Live Blog of the enthralling clash between Rajasthan Royals (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, to be played in Jaipur. This is Muskaan Bhatt and i'm here to take you through the evening!
