RR vs GT Highlights 2024: Rashid Khan's Last-Ball Heroics Hand Rajasthan First Defeat
The 24th match of IPL 2024 between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur was nothing short of a cinematic thriller. In a high-stakes encounter, the Gujarat Titans pulled off a stunning last-ball victory, ending Rajasthan Royals' unbeaten run in the tournament.
The First Innings: Samson and Parag Light Up Jaipur
After being put in to bat first, Rajasthan Royals faced an early stutter, losing their openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal cheaply. However, the momentum shifted dramatically when Captain Sanju Samson joined the in-form Riyan Parag.
The duo dismantled the GT bowling attack with a massive 130-run partnership. Samson played a composed yet aggressive knock of 68* off 38 balls, while Riyan Parag continued his stellar form, smashing 76 off 48 balls, including five towering sixes. RR finished with a formidable total of 196/3 in their 20 overs.
The Chase: Gill Sets the Stage, Rashid Fineshes in Style
Chasing 197 was never going to be easy against RR’s disciplined bowling attack. GT skipper Shubman Gill led from the front with a masterful 72 off 44 deliveries. Despite his efforts, the required run rate kept climbing, and wickets fell at crucial junctures, primarily due to Kuldeep Sen’s triple-wicket burst.
With 40 runs needed off the last 15 balls, the odds favored the Royals. However, the duo of Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan had other plans. Tewatia’s 22 off 11 provided the necessary impetus, but the night belonged to the "Afghan Cheetah."
The Final Over Drama
Avesh Khan was tasked with defending 15 runs in the final over. Rashid Khan showcased his batting prowess by hitting boundaries at will. With 2 runs needed off the final ball, Rashid carved the ball through the point region for a boundary, sealings a 3-wicket victory for the Titans on the very last delivery.
