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.
