Rajasthan Royals Surrender 229 Against Gujarat Titans, Equaling IPL Record for Most 200-Plus Totals Conceded
The Rajasthan Royals matched an unwanted Indian Premier League record during their 77-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans in Jaipur. By allowing Gujarat to post 229/4, Rajasthan recorded the seventh instance this season of conceding 200 or more runs in a single match.
A Record-Tying Bowling Collapse
Rajasthan’s bowling attack struggled early, failing to contain the opposition during the Powerplay. Jofra Archer gave up 46 runs in three overs. Although Ravindra Jadeja temporarily slowed the scoring rate during the middle overs, the Royals could not stop the Titans from setting their highest total of the season.
With this match, Rajasthan equals the all-time IPL record for the most 200-plus totals allowed in one season. According to historical match data from ESPN Cricinfo, five teams now share this mark.

Shubman Gill led the offensive charge for Gujarat, scoring 84 runs off 44 deliveries. Despite visible discomfort in his left foot, Gill partnered with Sai Sudharsan to build a 118-run opening stand. Sudharsan added 55 runs to the scoreboard. Late contributions from Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia cemented the imposing 229-run total.

Rajasthan managed only 152 runs before being bowled out in 16.3 overs.
