Toss Update: Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bat first at Narendra Modi Stadium. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill will not be playing for the Gujarat Titans. Rashid Khan stepped in as a stand-in captain for GT. 

Gujarat Titans will host the Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Coming into this game, the Titans lost their opening game against the Punjab Kings. Meanwhile, the Riyan Parag-led side registered a massive win against the Chennai Super Kings. A win for RR would take them to the top of the points table. GT, on the other hand, boasts an impressive record at home and would like to continue their record as they take the field against the Rajasthan Royals. 

Gujarat Titans Preview

Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler did not fire, making it a rare batting setback for the GT top-order. The 2022 winners’ run to the playoffs in the previous season was a high point. In the first nine overs, the bowlers only managed to take one wicket. In the shortest format, South African pacer Kagiso Rabada had another subpar performance again, going for 34 runs in his three overs.

The Titans are very concerned about the batting form of Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, and Washington Sundar. The top order is under increased pressure to potentially play more cautiously.

Rajasthan Royals Preview

When the Rajasthan Royals defeated the Chennai Super Kings in their first game, everything that could have gone well for them did. Foreign pacers Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger each took a few wickets with the ball in their hands. In the meantime, Brijesh Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravi Bishnoi, their recent additions, each took a wicket. The last wicket was taken by the dependable Sandeep Sharma, who bowled out CSK for 127 runs.

The Royals put up a fierce fight in the second innings, with 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scoring 52 runs in 17 balls. In a scorching knock, the left-handed hitter hit five sixes and four fours to help his team win. With a 29-run partnership for the third wicket, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag sealed the victory.
