Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans won by 58 runs against Rajasthan Royals in the 23rd match of IPL 2025. Batting first, Gujarat scored 217 runs. In reply, Rajasthan could not play the full 20 overs and were all out for 159.
Players like Sai Sudharsan, Sai Kishore, Jos Buttler, and Prasidh Krishna played key roles in Gujarat’s win, along with coach Ashish Nehra. Nehra’s one suggestion in the 13th over completely changed the match in Gujarat’s favor. Let me know if you’d like a shorter version or a caption-style summary.
Ashish Nehra’s Unique Style Once Again Helped GT Win
Whenever Gujarat Titans play, coach Ashish Nehra is not seen sitting like other coaches. Instead, he keeps walking near the boundary line and often gives instructions to his players.
Nehra’s Message Changed the Game
On the evening of Wednesday, April 9, something similar was seen again. Before the start of the 13th over, Ashish Nehra sent a message through Jayant Yadav. Just two balls later, Gujarat got a big breakthrough—Sanju Samson was out. This moment turned the whole match in GT’s favor.
Samson’s Wicket Broke the Partnership
At that time, Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer were building a strong partnership. If Gujarat hadn’t taken a wicket then, the match could have gone either way. On the second ball of the 13th over, Prasidh Krishna made Samson play towards third man and got him out for 41.
Prasidh Krishna Shined with the Ball
After dismissing Samson, Prasidh Krishna didn’t stop. He also took the wickets of Shimron Hetmyer and Jofra Archer. It was a great match for him. In his 4-over spell, he took 3 wickets and gave away only 24 runs.
Sai Sudharsan Powered GT’s Big Total
Earlier, Sai Sudharsan played a brilliant inning while batting for Gujarat. He scored 82 runs and helped GT reach a total of 217. Thanks to his performance, he was named the Player of the Match.
