Not the greatest match of the season, but a fascinating clash nonetheless considering how the two teams, vying for the IPL 2022 top spot, got off to contrasting starts but ended with an equally surprising ending. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl first against Gujarat Titans at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. The debutants Gujarat Titans then lost quick wickets, only to see skipper Hardik Pandya (87 not out of 52) and Abhinav Manohar (43 off 28) reviving the innings. It was followed by a late flourish from David Miller (31 off 14). Unlike the Titans, Royals got off to a flier with Jos Buttler soon reclaiming the Orange Cap from Pandya en route to a stunning 24-ball 54. Royals, however, lost steam. And at the end, the difference was 37 runs. A big win. Titans now have eight points from five matches. Five teams are tied on second with six points each from five outings.

Winning captain Hardik Pandya is also the player of the match. A good score, one wicket and a direct hit. And some pain. "It is just cramps," says Pandya. "Not used to batting for so long... The team is gelling well. I wanted all of us to be happy for each other's happiness. That is working well for the team."

Time Out!

Full face off the bat. Then massive shout for LBW. The original decision is not out. Hardik Pandya is bullish and takes the review. Googly and grazing the leg stump. Umpire's call and Titans have their review retained. Seven from the over. RR - 56/1 (5)
Yash Dayal continues. Hardik Pandya also back. Jos Buttker punches the first ball, and it bounces over square for a four. Bullet. A well-directed bouncer for the response. Top edge and almost carries to mid-on fielder. Another bouncer and Buttler gets mistimed, but enough meat, for a four to long-on. No respite for Dayal. A six, over deep mid-wicket. A dot, then a four, past extra cover. Driven. 18 from the over. Buttler on 48 off 20. RR - 49/1 (4)
Promotion for Ravichandran Ashwin. Mohammed Shami joins his Mankad buddy Jos Buttler in the middle. A dot to Buttler, who tries to scoop. A single, then a dot. Ashwin swings hard but safe. Ball lands just short of third man for a single. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya is having a cramp. Rashid Khan is leading the Titans. Three singles from the over. RR - 31/1 (3)
Debutant Yash Dayal, left-arm pacer, gets his first over. Down the leg and Jos Buttler flicks it for a four. A dot, then another. Magesterial from the England batter. Stands tall and dismisses. Through cover. And four. Then Buttler trickery. Walks across and ramps if for six, over fine leg. A single to mid-wicket, and now Devdutt Padikkal gets his first strike. And he's gone. Caught at first slip by a leaping Shubman Gill. 15 runs and a wicket off Dayal's first-ever IPL over. RR - 28/1 (2)
Mohammed Shami with the new ball. Jos Buttler takes the first strike. And a massive appeal for caught behind off the first ball, down the leg. Umpire unmoved. Titans take the review. No bat involved. Off the pad and clearly no chance for LBW. Rohan Pandit 1-0 Gujarat. Then a sumptuous four. Half volley and crashes into to the rope. Another four, using the pace and flicks for a four. Then another, this time past mid-wicket. Pure class. Good for eyes. And Buttler takes back the Orange Cap. 230 now, two more than Hardik Pandya's total. A dot, and a single to keep the strike. RR - 13/0 (1)
Prasidh Krishna on with the last over of the innings. A wide, then a dot to Hardik Pandya. Outside off and the bowler is lucky. And a six, over point. And he is now the leading scorer, overtaking Jos Buttler, who will bat later in the match. A single to fine leg. Swing and miss from David Miller. And a single to long on. A nick and four through the cordon for Hardik Pandya to end the innings. 13 from the over. 0/35 for Krishna. 62 runs in the last five. 43 in the last two.

Kuldeep Sen returns for his final over. A full toss, but Hardik Pandya manages only a single past cover. A widish delivery and a David Miller gets enough bat to beat the short third man for a four. On the slot, and launch over long on for a six. Sen's pace is helping Titans' cause. In the dug out, Lasith Malinga is shaking his head. A couple, past cover. And one bounce to the boundary, over cover. 25 off the last seven balls. A full toss and four to backward point. Make it 29 in eight balls. 21 from the over. 1/51 for Sen. 40 runs in 19 balls for the stand. And Miller's contribution - 30 off 12. GT - 179/4 (19)

Hardik Pandya needs little rest. And a skier. Manohar goes for 43 off 28, caught by Ravichandran Ashwin at short fine leg. And that's the end of a 86-run stand in 55 balls. A little pat from the bowler to the batter. David Miller arrives. And a dot to the new man to end the over. Nine runs from it. 1/32 of Chahal tonight. GT - 139/4 (16)
