Poor form alert (RR)
Hetmyer has 21 off 33 in last four innings
Samson has an average of 13.75 in the last four games with a HS of 22.
Chahal has only one wicket in last 13 overs
Holder has only one wicket in last four matches
Poor form alert (GT)
Rashid has 1 wicket in last eight overs
Wriddhiman Saha averaged 15.25 in the last 4 matches.
Shimron Hetmyer has been very quiet for some time now.
However, he is too good a player to have so many bad games and is expected to fire if he gets a chance to bat in this match.
He played a match winning unbeaten 56 off 26 last time when these two sides met earlier this season.
In addition, Gujarat can use Shami against Hetmyer which they missed last time. Hetmyer against Shami got out 4 times in 17 balls in IPL.
His numbers against the pacers have been the worst this season.
Hardik has got out twice in the last two seasons against Chahal.
But Chahal went wicketless in both the games in Jaipur this season and Hardik can counter Ashwin at the other end against whom he has 52 off 29 since last season.
Padikkal has been the second best batter for Rajasthan in the last four games.
However, he will still be a risky option considering his records against Shami (20 off 19) and Rashid (18 off 25 and 3 outs).
Abhinav Manohar 70 off 41 against Gujarat Titans in his short IPL career. But his batting position does not make him a sure starter in any XI.
Rajasthan has 14 dismissals against left arm seamers this season. Joshua Little might be a worthy pick for this game.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (c&wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jason Holder/Adam Zampa, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult
Probable Impact Sub: Kuldeep Sen
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya (c), Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Joshua Little, Mohammed Shami, Noor Ahmed
Probable Impact Sub: Mohit Sharma

Highest ownerships from outside base team: Hetmyer, Manohar, Jurel, Samson, Zampa, Noor
Zampa vs Noor
Zampa took three wickets in his last game in Jaipur, making him a worthy pick at least if Rajasthan bat first.
Noor has joint most wickets in last four games for GT, taking six of them when they bowl second.
Hetmyer vs Manohar
Hetmyer has not been in form in the recent past but is too good a player to overlook.
Manohar has great numbers against Rajasthan but his position is the only problem for including him in your XI.
Jurel vs Samson
Jurel has been terrific in the lower order, and can be a worthy pick in both batting first and second.
Samson will be a worthy pick at least if Rajasthan is chasing.
