RR vs GT Team Previews

Rajasthan Royals

After an excellent start to their campaign, the Rajasthan Royals’ form has slipped over the last couple of weeks, and the team has lost four of its last six games. Nevertheless, they are currently placed fourth on the points table. However, with the top six teams separated by just three points, Rajasthan cannot afford to lose here.

The pressure will be on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal to deliver the goods at the top of the order. They are the top two run-getters for Rajasthan this year, and given the form of the middle-order batsmen, the team depends heavily on good starts. Sooryavanshi is in particularly good form, and has scored two half-centuries and a century in his ten innings.

The middle order consists of Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmeyer, Donovan Ferreira, and Riyan Parag. Jurel has struggled with strike rate while Hetmyer has simply not scored enough runs. Ferreira and Parag have played well in recent matches, raising hopes for the team. The Royals boast of a strong pace department which will be led by Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger.

They will be supported by Tushar Deshpande and Brijesh Sharma. The spin attack consists of Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja.

Rajasthan Royals Expected Playing 11

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag (C), Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, Nandre Burger, Ravi Bishnoi, Brijesh Sharma

Gujarat Titans

The Gujarat Titans have been in good form of late, winning three matches on the bounce as they head into this contest. They have the same number of points as the Rajasthan Royals, trailing them only in NRR. The Titans will look to maintain their winning momentum, and gain a foothold in the top four.

Just like their opponents, the Gujarat Titans boast a strong opening pair, which has Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill. The duo has been in sublime form, especially over the past couple of weeks, and will look to give the Gujarat Titans a strong start here.

With Jos Buttler coming in at number three, the Titans have one of the most explosive top orders in the league. The middle order hasn’t been in the best of form as Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan have both struggled to convert their starts into big knocks. However, the two all-rounders, Washington Sundar and Jason Holder, have chipped in with a couple of match-winning cameos.

Coming to the bowling, Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj form a strong new-ball pair, which has picked up 27 wickets between them. They will be supported by Arshad Khan and Holder in the pace attack, while Rashid Khan continues to lead the spin department.

Gujarat Titans Expected Playing 11

Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (C), Jos Buttler (WK), Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Manav Suthar, Rahul Tewatia

RR vs GT Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is one of the most batting-friendly venues in the league, and we have consistently seen first-inning scores of 200+ runs since the last couple of seasons. The surface is flat and hard. The grass is rolled in, and there is very little movement for the seamers.

The batsmen will look to make the most out of the Powerplay. The bowlers need to rely on variations in pace and length to keep the batsmen guessing.

The team batting first will look to score at least 220-230 runs to put some pressure on the opposition. The weather will remain clear with temperatures over 32 degrees.

RR vs GT : Who Will Win?

Both teams have the same number of points, and as we approach the business end of the group stages, we can expect a fierce encounter. We are backing the Gujarat Titans to win this match. They have played well over the last couple of weeks and seem to have found a good rhythm. The Rajasthan Royals are over-reliant on their opening pair, and if they fail, the team could struggle.

Bet on Gujarat Titans to win.
