“Gujarat Titans end Rajasthan Royals’ winning streak in a thrilling IPL match; Samson fined, Rashid Khan’s explosive finish secures victory.”
In the IPL 2024, the Gujarat Titans ended the remarkable four-match winning run of the Rajasthan Royals with an exciting three-wicket victory on Wednesday. In the last five overs of their 196-run chase, the Titans battled back, needing 73 runs from the final 30 balls. The Royals are still at the top of the table, one spot ahead of the Kolkata Knight Riders, despite the defeat; however, their captain, Sanju Samson, has received a fine.
Rajasthan Royals captain fined by IPL
As his team continued to bowl slowly against the Titans, the captain of the Rajasthan Royals was fined. Samson received a ₹12 lakh fine from the IPL, according to a release, since it was his team’s first offense of the season in relation to minimum over-rate offenses under the Code of Conduct.
Rashid Khan’s explosive finish secures the Titans’ victory.
Rashid Khan, an all-round bowler, had to bowl calmly in the final moments of the game for the Titans to win their third game of the year. With one ball left to spare, Rashid put an explosive finish on the game by driving an Avesh Khan delivery to the boundary for four runs, helping the Gujarat Titans reach a thrilling final score of 199-7.
Samson and Parag Shine in the Rajasthan Royals’ Batting Performance
Even after a slow start, RR’s batting performance was excellent, and Samson, who scored an undefeated 68 off just 38 deliveries in the game’s first innings in Jaipur, continued to display his extraordinary form. After being asked to bat, Riyan Parag—who had made a brilliant start to the league—also produced an explosive knock of 76 runs off of 48 balls, leading the Rajasthan Royals to a commanding total of 196/3.
