Sundar remained unbeaten on 37 off 20 balls, smashing three sixes, while Tewatia finished strongly with two maximums in the final over.Rajasthan’s chase got off to an aggressive start thanks to 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who smashed 36 off just 16 deliveries. But once the teenager departed, the Gujarat bowlers tightened their grip.Rashid Khan turned the game around with a decidedly brilliant spell of 4/33, cutting through Rajasthan’s middle order with his variations and control. Kagiso Rabada struck twice while Jason Holder ended the innings with three late wickets as Rajasthan were bowled out for 152.The convincing win took Gujarat to second place in the table and marked their biggest run-scoring win in IPL history.
