Gujarat Titans Hand Rajasthan Royals First Defeat: Sanju Samson Gutted

The Rajasthan Royals faced their first defeat of the season in a nail-biting encounter against the Gujarat Titans in the IPL match on Wednesday night. Despite a formidable total of 196/3, powered by impressive fifties from captain Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag, the Royals couldn’t clinch the victory as the Titans staged a remarkable comeback.

The match saw the Royals dominating for the majority of Titans’ chase, but the Titans, led by Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan, turned the tables in the final overs. Rashid Khan’s crucial boundary off the last ball secured the win for the Titans, leaving the Royals stunned.

Speaking in the post-match interaction, a visibly disappointed Sanju Samson struggled to pinpoint where the Royals lost control of the game. He credited the Gujarat Titans for their exceptional performance in batting, bowling, and fielding. Despite the loss, the Royals remain at the top of the table with eight points from five matches.

The Rajasthan Royals will look to bounce back from this defeat as they gear up to face the Punjab Kings in their next fixture, scheduled for Saturday.
