Here are some of the best bets for this Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals IPL 2025 match.
Against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last fixture, captain Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 61 off 43 balls to steer Gujarat Titans to a win. Given the kind of touch he is in, you can back Gill to come good.
Both these teams have some good hitters in their line-up. With players showing great intent and with both teams on the back of consecutive wins, this seems like a safe bet.
The left-handed batter took his time to get going in the league. In the last match against Punjab Kings, he fired a 45-ball 67 to set up his team for a victory. He should do well in Ahmedabad.
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad mostly offers a batting-friendly pitch. It typically offers some help to seamers with the new ball, but once that initial phase passes, batters often take control. Since 2022, the venue has hosted 21 IPL matches, with the average score in the first innings standing at 185. In the last fixture played here against the Mumbai Indians, GT blasted 196 runs in the first innings.

Since GT’s inaugural year in 2022, the two teams have faced each other six times. GT came out on top five times whereas RR have beaten GT just once in the tournament so far.
The Gujarat Titans have had a great start to the season so far, winning three out of four games. They are placed second on the table after their win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Playing an away game, Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first. GT bowlers did a brilliant job in restricting the potent SRH’s top-order as the team was reduced to 152/8. Mohammed Siraj had a good day at the office with a four-fer. Captain Gill, Washington Sundar on his GT debut, and Sherfane Rutherford drove GT to their third consecutive win of the season.
Playing XII: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler (w), Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Washington Sundar, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma, Sherfane Rutherford.
After losing two games, RR are on a winning streak with two wins. However, they are seated in the seventh position with four points. In their last match, they handed Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings (PBKS) a first defeat on the season. The match began with Jaiswal and skipper Sanju Samson dominating at the top. The duo put together 89 runs in about 10 overs. RR then lost wickets in regular intervals, but quickfire batting from the middle order helped the team finish at 205/4. In the second innings, Jofra Archer removed PBKS’ Priyansh Arya for a golden duck. Except for the fifth wicket partnership between Glenn Maxwell and Nehal Wadhera contributing 88 off 52, the Kings never found their batting rhythm. Meanwhile, Archer was the pick of the bowlers with an amazing spell of 3/25. The Royals won by a huge margin of 50 runs.
Playing XII: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c, wk), Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, Kumar Kartikeya.
