Pandya, who came in to bat after Sai Sudharsan was run out at the end of the fifth over, stitched a valuable stand with opener Shubman Gill worth 59, one that brought Gujarat back on their feet after a scratchy start.
The Gujarat Titans skipper, who spent seven seasons with the Mumbai Indians in the past, thus became only the sixth cricketer to complete a double of 2,000 runs and 50 wickets in the Indian Premier League.
Besides Pandya, opener Gill (45) and David Miller (46) dished out valuable contributions to help the Gujarat Titans, who won the tournament on debut last year, post a competitive 177/7 after being invited to bat by the Royals.
RR, in reply, got off to a horror start, losing both openers with just four runs on the board before the 2022 runners-up managed to stage a revival of sorts through a partnership between Devdutt Padikkal and skipper Sanju Samson.
