Jaiswal, Sooryavanshi: Fastest Indian IPL 500-Run Pair

The dynamic duo broke the previous record held by Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, who had reached the same milestone in 309 balls. Before Saturday's match, Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi were just three runs short of the landmark, sitting at 497 runs off 246 deliveries, and needed only two more deliveries to cross the 500-run mark, setting a new benchmark in IPL history.

Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag won the toss and chose to bat first in the absence of Gujarat Titans' regular skipper Shubman Gill, who missed the game due to a muscle spasm. Rashid Khan stepped in as captain for Gujarat, with Kumar Kushagra replacing Gill in the playing XI.
