Hardik Pandya scored an unbeaten 87 while Lockie Ferguson and Yash Dayal picked up three wickets each as Gujarat Titans beat Rajasthan Royals to go top of the points table, Hindustan Times reported.

Jos Buttler scored a quick-fire half-century but Rajasthan Royals lost regular wickets with their risk-taking approach against Gujarat Titans in 193 chase at the DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai.

Devdutt Padikkal perished on duck, and Ashwin (8) and Sanju Samson (11) also fell cheaply. Buttler also walked back after scoring a 24-ball 54 and Rajasthan eventually managed to score just 155 in 20 overs.

Earlier, Hardik's unbeaten knock of 87 helped Gujarat Titans post 192/4. He scored his second consecutive fifty while Abhinav Manohar scored 43 as the duo stitched an 86-run partnership to guide the team to a challenging total, according to Hindustan Times.

While Hardik’s 52-ball knock was studded with eight fours and four sixes, Manohar struck four fours and two maximums.

David Miller (31 not out off 14) also provided a late flourish to power the IPL debutants to their highest score of the tournament, Hindustan Times reported.
