The 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen Gujarat Titans performing well, while Rajasthan Royals have struggled initially but seem to have found their rhythm with Sanju Samson back as captain. GT’s top order comprising Jos Buttler, Shubman Gill, and Sai Sudharsan has been in great form, leading them to win three out of four matches. On the other hand, RR’s star-studded top order, including Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Riyan Parag, struggled initially but showed promise in their last match.
RR’s bowling lineup, led by Jofra Archer, has been impressive with contributions from Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, and Wanindu Hasaranga. However, GT has concerns over Rashid Khan’s slow start to the season, although his performance against SRH was encouraging. The availability of Kagiso Rabada remains uncertain, possibly giving Ishant Sharma another chance in the playing XI.
The likely XIs for both teams include key players like Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler for GT, and Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Jofra Archer for RR. With both teams aiming for victory, the match between GT and RR promises to be an exciting battle of in-form sides.
