GT vs RR IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans to clash with Rajasthan Royals at home turf in Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad: Its GT vs RR today in the ongoing IPL 2025. The home team Gujarat Titans is back on familiar turf at the Narendra Modi Stadium as they gear up to face neighboring side Rajasthan Royals. Gujarat currently sits second on the points table, largely due to the stellar form of their top-order batters. The trio of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler has collectively scored 503 of the team’s 715 runs—over 70% of the total. While this consistency has powered their success, it has also left their middle order largely untested.

In contrast, Rajasthan Royals have already had to rely on their bench strength. With Yashasvi Jaiswal’s form being inconsistent and Sanju Samson only recently returning from injury, their middle order has been put under pressure. However, the Royals bounced back impressively with a key win over Chennai Super Kings, thanks to crucial contributions from their supporting players. Nitish Rana and company appear better prepared for adversity than Gujarat’s middle order.
