The Shubman Gill-led side are currently placed second on the points table. They have secured victories in 6 out of 8 games so far and have suffered just two defeats this season. Now they need just two more wins to ensure a place in the playoffs. Gujarat's team is currently looking strong in every department, be it batting or bowling.
On the other hand, this season has been disappointing for the Rajasthan-based team. After losing 7 out of 9 matches, they are almost out of the playoff race. The team now has to play to save its honour in the remaining matches. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana have played good innings in between, but the team could not get a match-winning performance.
There has been a lack of consistency in the bowling department as well, due to which Rajasthan has had to face defeat at crucial moments again and again. The absence of Sanju Samson has also increased the team's problems and now the responsibility is on the shoulders of young Riyan Parag. Rajasthan's team can give a chance to spinner Kumar Karthikeya in this match.
Strongest Playing 11's of both teams
Probable Playing XI of Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (captain), Jos Buttler, Sai Sudarshan, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Sherfane Rutherford, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma.
Probable playing XI of Rajasthan Royals : Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Riyan Parag (captain), Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshna, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande and Kumar Karthikeya.
