GT beat RR by 77 runs behind Gill's 84 and Rashid's four-fer

Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs on Sunday at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Shubman Gill smashed 84 off 44 balls and Sai Sudharsan chipped in 55 off 36 to get GT to 229 for four. Rashid Khan then dismantled RR's chase, taking four for 33 to bowl them out for 152 in 16.3 overs.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 36 off 16 and Ravindra Jadeja's 38 off 25 came too late. Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj shared the early damage, while Brijesh Sharma got two for 47 in a losing effort. It's GT's fourth straight win — they're up to second on 14 points, and their playoff odds sit at 72.52% once net run rate is factored in.

RR captain Yashasvi Jaiswal put GT in after Riyan Parag pulled up lame with a hamstring. The decision looked worse when Jofra Archer bowled an 11-ball over that leaked 18 runs with three wides — bowling control fell apart at exactly the moment it mattered most.
