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. 

Risk-Reward alert

• 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

RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction: Who will win the battle between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans?

Gujarat Titans are coming on the back of a defeat against Delhi and also suffered defeat against Rajasthan in the earlier meeting this season. However, they will still start favorites considering most of the big players of Rajasthan are out of form since the second half of the season.
