The 23rd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is currently taking place between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Narendra Modi International Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Sanju Samson-led side won the toss and opted to field first.

They bowled staggeringly well and on account of collective bowling effort, they restricted the home side to a total of 177 runs. Chasing the target, they lost wickets upfront and struggled against the swing bowling of Mohammad Shami and Hardik Pandya.

But skipper Sanju Samson kept them in the game and batted brilliantly. He kept ticking the scorecard despite wickets falling at the other end. The RR skipper made sure that he keeps his team in the side and smashed a wonderful half-century.

He scored 60 runs in 32 balls and batted exceptionally well. Sanju Samson batted with a strike rate of 187.5 and smashed 3 fours and 6 sixes in his innings. Out of the 6 sixes that he hit, 3 came against ace GT spinner Rashid Khan.
