Head to Head Record in IPL History
GT have taken control of this rivalry since joining the IPL in 2022, winning six matches to three for RR. Both sides have met nine times throughout league play – four this season alone!
GT stormed to victory at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur to move into second place in the points table with ease, thanks to fluent half-centuries from openers Sai Sudharshan and Washington Sundar as well as Rashid Khan’s devastating bowling performance. A powerful statement win.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have struggled this season and lost three out of their last five matches. A loss against Delhi Capitals on Saturday would be devastating for Riyan Parag’s side as they aim to secure a top-four finish.
Shubman Gill’s men have an opportunity to put their campaign back on track when they take on Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Friday, with stars Jos Buttler and Sai Sudharshan providing impressive batting performances and a formidable bowling attack featuring Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger Ravi Bishnoi Mohammad Siraj Jason Holder helping achieve their objectives.
Rajasthan Royals Batting Performance Analysis vs Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans outshone Rajasthan Royals at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur through an outstanding performance by Shubman Gill’s fluency with bat and bowl, posting an impressive 229/4 total in their innings-building effort. After this breakthrough effort was complete, Titans’ bowlers then quickly dismantled RR’s top order, taking four wickets for an easy 77-run victory and moving them into second in the table.
Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia made late cameo appearances that couldn’t save RR from another defeat as they chased an impossible target. Now RR have lost five out of seven matches, it is important for them to find momentum quickly or risk falling outside the top four and losing all chances at reaching that status.
RR has struggled against spin, which has proven costly for them. Their big men – Jos Buttler and Ajinkya Rahane in particular – have found it impossible to cope with its turn, leading them down an unexpectedly downward path as one of the strongest teams in competition. This represents a devastating setback.
Gujarat Titans used an impressive performance from the bat and Shubman Gill’s spectacular innings-building to defeat Rajasthan Royals and secure their fourth win of the season at Sawai Mansingh stadium, scoring one run more than Sai Sudharsan to secure another four point win against them at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Their batting line-up led by Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan proved one of the most potent in the competition; Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj combined with Rashid Khan made for an impactful pace unit which could secure them a playoff place with further wins from them.
Rajasthan Royals Bowling Performance Analysis vs Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans appear to have everything going for them with Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan providing solid platforms, an impactful middle order and an excellent pace unit led by Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Jason Holder leading an outstanding pace unit – not forgetting Rashid Khan’s game-changing spin – all ingredients of success for an assault on playoff berth.
GT began their innings quickly in an all-or-nothing match by scoring quickly with Gill and Sudharsan taking few risks while racing to an impressive score of 86 for 3 in seven overs, but Yash Raj Punja and Ravindra Jadeja put pressure on their hosts by sending down steady streams of deliveries that limited risk-free boundary opportunities for GT’s openers.
Dhruv Jurel appeared to have overcome his slow-batting woes after an aggressive opening, appearing on track for another half century of the night. Unfortunately, Rashid struck back his stumps with one from outside off his front foot slog; Harsh Dubey mistimed a swipe shot to point, Harsh Dubey was caught at point off an inaccurate hit swipe, and Rahul Tewatia bowled himself leaving their hosts at 229 for 4.
