Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bowl at Eden Gardens.
RR lost Yashasvi Jaiswal (3) early on, but Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler dominated the GT bowlers with their aggressive batting, hitting too many boundaries during the 68-run stand for the second wicket.
Skipper Samson was dismissed for 47 runs in just 26 balls, while leading scorer Buttler made 89 off 56 balls.
Rashid Khan bowled very well and did not score a single run for 15 runs in his full quota of four overs.

Rajasthan Royals: 188/6 in 20 overs (Sanju Samson 47, Jos Buttler 89) vs GT.
Gujarat Titans: 191/3 in 19.3 overs (David Miller 68 not out, Hardik Pandya 40 not out).
