Key Battles to Watch
Shubman Gill will lead Gujarat Titans, aiming for another commanding performance. Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag, however, will try to inspire a turnaround. A key battle will be between Gill and Jofra Archer. Archer has dismissed Gill three times in only 15 deliveries in past encounters. Yashasvi Jaiswal is another player to watch, needing just 37 runs to reach 2000 IPL runs.
Pitch Report and Weather Update
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch usually helps spinners. Longer boundaries at the venue will also challenge big hitters. Evening conditions are expected to be cooler, around 27°C, making it easier for players compared to the hot daytime temperatures.
Head-to-Head and Expectations
Historically, Gujarat Titans have dominated Rajasthan Royals, winning six of their seven past meetings. With form and momentum on their side, Gujarat starts as the favorite. However, Rajasthan Royals have the talent to stage an upset if they perform as a unit.
