The IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans is underway at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The Riyan Parag-led side won the toss and opted to field first. The Shubman Gill-led side, batting first, got off to another great start as they stitched a 80-runs stand for the opening wicket.
Rajasthan had a great chance to send Sudharsan back to the pavilion, but Shimron Hetmyer dropped a dolly that left the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in shock. It was not the only dropped chance of the match as 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi too missed a chance, which was a tough one but would go down as a dropped catch.
