Rajasthan Royals
Gujarat Titans
In the next big game in the IPL 2024, the Rajasthan Royals go up against the Gujarat Titans, and theyโre playing at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Historically speaking, Gujarat has had the upper hand when these two teams face off, with 4 wins out of their 5 encounters.
But, this season, the script looks like it's flipping. Rajasthan is smashing it with a perfect win streak of four games, and theyโre sitting pretty at the top of the leaderboard.ย
Their game is just top-notch right now – from batting to bowling to fielding, theyโve got it all covered. Gujarat, though, seems to be struggling a bit, especially with their batting, and theyโre a bit down the order in seventh place with a couple of wins in 5 matches.
So, this upcoming match isnโt just another game; itโs a clash that could shake things up, given how things are going this season.
Rajasthan Royals' power-packed batting lineup, led by hitters like Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Riyan Parag, positions them as the prime candidates for hitting the most sixes in their clash against Gujarat Titans.

Rajasthan RoyalsGujarat TitansThe spotlight will be on Jos Buttler, fresh from a spectacular century, who boasts 190 runs against Gujarat Titans in the previous matches. Captain Sanju Samson isn't far behind with 162 runs this season, and he's already racked up 178 runs in just 4 matches. Samsonโs captaincy has also been praiseworthy.
The team's top scorer, Riyan Parag, has hit 185 runs at an impressive strike rate of 158.11 across 4 games. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal's form has been a concern, and the team will be keen for him to make a strong comeback.
On the bowling front, Yuzvendra Chahal leads the pack with 8 wickets at an economy of 6.35, followed by Nandre Burger with 6 wickets and Boult with 5 wickets, all in 4 matches. Avesh Khan and Ashwin, with 2 and 1 wickets respectively, are under the radar to up their game and contribute significantly in the upcoming clashes. Expect Trent Boult to shine in RRโs home games.
Samson, Parag and Chahal are in-form players.
Predicted Lineup: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Nandre Burger, Yuzvendra Chahal
Sai Sudharsan is a key figure, sitting as the league's second-highest run-scorer this season with 191 runs in 5 matches, just behind Virat Kohli. Shubman Gill, with 183 runs, is showcasing his potential not just with the bat but also in his nascent captaincy role, navigating the IPL's challenging waters.
However, Saha's inability to provide solid starts and underwhelming performances from Miller and Shankar in their 4 outings are areas of concern for the team.ย
On the bowling front, Mohit Sharma has stepped up, claiming 7 wickets across 5 matches, especially crucial with Shami sidelined for the season. Umesh Yadav, despite taking 6 wickets, has proved costly, while the team's lead bowler Rashid Khan has managed only 5 wickets at an economy of 8.65.
Azmatullah Omarzai and Noor Ahmad have contributed with 4 and 3 wickets respectively, but the quest for a winning combination continues for GT as the team grapples with inconsistency from key players.
Gill, Sudarshan and Sharma are key players.
Predicted Lineup: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Kane Williamson, BR Sharath (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Darshan Nalkande, Noor Ahmad, Umesh Yadav, Spencer Johnson, Mohit Sharma
Rajasthan's impeccable form this season, marked by a winning streak of 4 games, contrasts sharply with Gujarat's struggles, particularly in their batting lineup. Jos Buttler's recent century and Sanju Samson's consistent performance, coupled with Riyan Parag's explosive batting, set a formidable foundation for the Royals.ย
Yuzvendra Chahal's exceptional bowling, leading with 8 wickets, further solidifies their dominance. Despite Gujarat's notable players like Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill, their inconsistency and the absence of key bowler Shami leave them vulnerable.
Rajasthan's all-rounded prowess and home advantage make them the clear favourites to extend their lead at the top of the table, challenging Gujarat's historical edge in their head-to-head encounters.
