The IPL 2025 Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals match became a forgettable debut for Afghanistan’s experienced pacer Karim Janat. Debuting for Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL, Janat was torn apart by 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who hit 30 runs off an over, making IPL history.
This ferocious over not only changed momentum in favor of Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their pursuit of 210 but also gave Janat the dubious record of the most expensive debut over in IPL history, beating Varun Chakravarthy’s 25-run over in 2019.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi Smashes 30 Runs – Ball-by-Ball Breakdown

Ball 1 – Six
Janat bowled on leg stump. Suryavanshi swatted it hard over deep square leg for a huge six to begin the over.
Ball 2 – Four (Edge)
A slow delivery witnessed Vaibhav sweep hard. The thick edge went past the backward point and hurried towards the boundary.
Ball 3 – Six
Janat bowled a low full toss. Vaibhav launched it over midwicket for another six.
Ball 4 – Four (Edge Again)
Trying to push one through the off-stump, Janat caused another edge. The ball passed over short third man Jos Buttler and went over the boundary.
Ball 5 – Four (Drive)
Vaibhav’s technique was evident here as he drove through covers. Long-off fielder Shah Rukh Khan had no opportunity to hold it back.
Ball 6 – Six
Janat finished with a slower pace, but Suryavanshi was prepared, hitting it over deep midwicket for his third six of the over.
Total: 30 runs – 3 Sixes, 3 Fours
