His performance was instrumental in setting the foundation for the Titans’ big total. Alongside him, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler contributed to the scoreline with 2 and 36 runs, respectively.
Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia chipped in with valuable runs, scoring 36 and 24* runs, respectively, to further boost Gujarat's total. Rashid Khan, who is known for his explosive batting, added 12 runs off just 4 balls, while Sherfane Rutherford’s quickfire 7 runs off 3 balls gave the innings a final push.
Gujarat Titans Bowling:

Alongside him, Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan played key roles in restricting the Royals' chase.

Mohammad Siraj (1/30) and Mohd Arshad Khan (1/19) also contributed with the ball, ensuring that Rajasthan never really got the momentum they needed.
Rajasthan Royals Innings:
Chasing a target of 218 was always going to be a tough challenge for Rajasthan Royals. Early wickets put them on the back foot, as Yashasvi Jaiswal (6) and Nitish Rana (1) fell cheaply. Captain Sanju Samson played a valiant knock of 41 runs off 28 balls but was dismissed at a crucial time.
It was Shimron Hetmyer, who top-scored for Rajasthan with a powerful 52 runs off 32 balls, that kept the chase alive. However, the Royals' middle and lower order failed to build partnerships, with Shubham Dubey (1), Jofra Archer (4), and Tushar Deshpande (3) all falling cheaply.
Fazalhaq Farooqi, who didn’t bat in this match, was also an important part of Rajasthan's bowling unit earlier, though he didn’t feature in the later overs.
Despite a few brief partnerships, Rajasthan Royals were bowled out for just 159 runs in 19.2 overs, handing Gujarat Titans a comfortable victory.
