GT VS RR IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royal teams are face to face in the 23rd match of IPL season 18. RR captain Sanju Samson has won the toss and decided to bowl first. GT is second in the points table with three wins and one defeat in 4 matches played so far this season. At the same time, RR’s team is at number 7 in the number in 4 matches with 2 wins and 2 defeats. In such a situation, there is every hope of a tough fight between the two teams.
Let us know that this match will be played at Narendra Modi International Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad, GT’s home ground, but before that let’s take a look at the pitch report, GT vs RR’s head-to-head figures and other necessary updates related to the match.
GT’s confidence rests on Siraj and teenager
In IPL 2025, both Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals have performed mixed together, but their biggest weakness has emerged – Goldback. Some prominent bowlers of both teams have not been able to perform as expected yet. If they have to climb up in the table, now the bowlers will have to take responsibility.
Talking about Gujarat Titans, so far fast bowler Mohammad Siraj and spinner R Sai Kishore have shown some effect. But star spinner Rashid Khan and veteran fast bowler Ishant Sharma have been the cause of great concern.
Rashid Khan, which the team expects a breakthrough every time, has flopped completely this time. Only 1 wicket in four matches, and that too when he is offering runs from 10+ economy. Ishant Sharma’s condition is also similar – just 1 wicket in three matches, and spending 12 runs in every over is a headache for any team.
Will coatje get a chance?
GT does not even have much options for change. Arshad Khan and Fazalhak Farooqui were tried, but they too could not give up a special impact. In such a situation, players like Garald Koetje and Mahipal Lomorur can be tried. Especially coatje, which has the strength of both pace and backup bowling.
GT’s next face is from RR’s hitter squad – Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurael, Ryan Parag, and Nitish Rana have all hit run at 150+ strike rates this season. From above, Yashasvi Jaiswal also scored 67 runs against Punjab and told that he too has returned to color.
The same story of Rajasthan
The story of Rajasthan is also no different. Only Sandeep Sharma has appeared affordable and consistent. However, in the last match, Jofra Archer took 3 wickets for 25 runs and this is a relief for Rajasthan. RR will hop that Archer continues in this way.
Run rains fiercely in Ahmedabad
The match will be held in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad – and here, not bowlers, batsmen. So far this season has scored in four matches played on this ground: 243, 232, 196, and 160. That is, if the bowlers missed, then the answer is fixed with the bat. GT has depth – Shubhaman Gill, Jose Butler, Sherfen Rutherford, Sai Sudarshan, and Washington Sundar, who played a 49 -run innings against Punjab and showed that they can change the game with bat, not just with balls.
GT vs RR head-to-head figures
The team of Gujarat Titans looks ahead in the head-to-head case. In the last five matches, Gujarat has won 4 times between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals. Overall, the two teams have confronted 6 times so far, in which Gujarat has won 5 times and Rajasthan has won 5 times.
