RR vs GT
Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will meet for their third IPL match of this season at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. Each team has had different fortunes so far; Royals have experienced more struggles while Titans have been one of the top performers so far in this tournament.
The Titans entered the Indian Premier League as an upstart franchise in 2022 and have made an immediate mark ever since, winning their inaugural season and continually contending for victory each year since. They even claimed the trophy on two separate occasions!
Their form has been inconsistent this season; starting off with three consecutive defeats but rebounding with two victories recently. Their squad remains powerful enough to compete against any challenge from rival teams on the pitch.
Even after an inauspicious start to their campaign, GT still stand a good chance at making the playoffs. They currently stand second in the standings with one game remaining to play against Mumbai Indians – although their bowling performances still need improvement to become formidable opponents in 2019.
Although the Titans boast a strong top order, their middle order has struggled. Players like Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler have failed to score big often enough – it is essential these players produce in order for GT to have any chance at winning this season’s title.
Rashid Khan, Siraj, and Ishant have proven more than capable of restricting Rajasthan Royals (RR) to an adequate total. On the other hand, their batsmen can still prove troublesome; their top order possesses considerable power which allows them to face any bowling attack with confidence.
Head-to-Head Record
Tomorrow night at Sawai Mansingh Stadium will bring us another enthralling encounter between Royals and Gujarat Titans (GT), so here is a run-down on their head-to-head record in IPL history since Royals entered as new franchise in 2022 – six matches have taken place, and four have gone in GT’s favor!
Today’s match between the Titans and Royals could prove pivotal to their season; both teams currently sit second in the table with six points while Royals sit just above relegation zone in seventh spot with just four.
Even though they started off slowly this season, the Royals have recently been on an impressive winning streak of three out of their last five matches. Their batsmen have been particularly effective, led by captain Sanju Samson’s incredible run of scoring 235 runs over four innings! He will look to continue this impressive form against GT.
Titans bowler Jofra Archer gave them hope heading into this match by showing consistent bowling performance against Punjab Kings last time out, giving the Titans some hope going into this encounter.
The Titans have proven themselves victorious against RR in five of six meetings at Ahmedabad Stadium and won 10 out of 18 matches there.
Still in danger of being relegated this season, the Royals still face being eliminated from IPL 2018; their bowlers must improve against Gujarat attack. Players like Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia and Washington Sundar have shown great promise with bat in recent weeks and pose an enormous threat against Royals’ defence. Meanwhile Jofra Archer and Maheesh Theekshana can help turn things around with bowling performances; finding their range against Ahmedabad would allow them to climb back towards the top of table and secure victory against Titans!
Current Form
Rajasthan Royals may possess an outstanding side, yet are lacking that special something that made them famous in years gone by. Their bowlers are excelling, while batting struggles to meet regulation chase targets and close out regulation chases successfully. To move up in their table ranking they require multiple wins quickly against Gujarat Titans in their next match-up.
Gujarat Titans hosted one of the highest scoring matches this IPL season. 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi produced an outstanding 35-ball century to help Rajasthan Royals chase down and achieve the target of 217 and win their fifth game. Suryavanshi became IPL history’s youngest half-century maker by hitting seven boundaries and 11 sixes during his innings – completely overshadowing Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 31-ball fifty.
Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer have not been performing to their potential for Rajasthan Royals (RR). Their propensity to give away wickets at regular intervals could be contributing to their difficulties during their run up to playoffs.
Riyan Parag was very honest during RR’s post-match press conference and spoke frankly about their situation, speaking about how changes must be made to get into the top four spots. He added that his team has been training hard and is working towards this goal soon enough.
Parag was extremely grateful for the effort put in by his players and particularly praised Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler for their performances. He also acknowledged the bowling effort as it is essential for wicket taking during middle overs – something the first 3-4 overs were tough with but managed to overcome eventually. Finally he mentioned how great it is having Hetmyer and Sudharsan helping out young cricketers and making this team so strong.
Prediction
Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will clash in an exciting contest at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on April 28th, having both shown promising form throughout this tournament thus far. An exhilarating match-up awaits them that could have serious ramifications for their playoff chances.
GT have had an outstanding start, winning six of their initial eight matches and setting themselves up well for a top-four finish. Their balance between experienced international players and emerging talents such as captain Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler and Prasidh Krishna/Mohammed Siraj bowling proved formidable enough.
Royals Royals (RR) have struggled to live up to their potential this season. Sitting ninth on the points table and needing five wins out of their remaining four matches to reach playoff contention, Royals recently defeated Punjab Kings with an encouraging 50-run win thanks to opener Yashasvi Jaiswal’s composed 67 off 45 balls and Jofra Archer’s three wickets providing enough impetus.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s thrilling 17-ball half century was unquestionably the star performance. At just 14 years old, he set an unprecedented new record by becoming the youngest ever to reach this landmark score and surpassing Sanju Samson by over three years!
The Royals will look to build on their recent performance when they take on a Gujarat side that’s looking to cement its lead at the top of the table. The match promises several key battles between their batting unit and GT’s bowling unit; Dhruv Jurel may provide them with an answer as to their strike rate against spinners – although whether or not his style fits with an attack featuring Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma remains to be seen.
