The Titans are stacking up wins with impressive all-round performances, while the Royals are slowly finding their mojo. It is Gujarat who have a slight edge, if you ask me, as the Royals haven’t been as consistent as the Titans yet. Back Gujarat to win here.
- Rajasthan Royals lost 5 of their last 6 matches against the Gujarat Titans.
- Gujarat won their last 3 matches in a row.
- At this venue, the Titans have won 2 of their last 3 completed matches.
- Rajasthan lost 4 of their last 5 away matches.
Head to Head
This is a fixture that has been traditionally dominated by the Titans. Of the six matches played against the Royals, Gujarat won five and lost just once. Interestingly, their only loss came at this venue in 2023.
Last season, these sides played in Jaipur, and the Titans won by three wickets, chasing 197 with Shubman Gill setting up the chase and Rashid Khan finishing the thrilling game.
Gujarat Titans Form
After Monday’s matches, Gujarat Titans are second in the standings with six points from four matches. Their three wins have come in a row against Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
The biggest positive for the Titans is how Jos Buttler has found form (166 runs, SR 167.67) to support the consistency of Sai Sudharsan (191 runs, SR 150.39).
The real challenge for the teams facing the Titans is their impressive bowling unit. Led by the recharged Mohammed Siraj (nine wickets, ER 7.75), they are bossing the powerplay, while R Sai Kishore (eight wickets) and Prasidh Krishna (five wickets) are making the middle overs a tough game.

Conditions warranted Washington Sundar’s inclusion in the last game, but returning to this venue could see them go for an extra seamer. That said, they can go for black soil pitch and have a slow, low track to boost their bowling.
Rajasthan Royals Form
After Monday’s matches, the Royals are seventh in the standings with four points from four matches. They are the last of the four teams on the same number of points, thanks to their inferior run rate.
The Royals seem to have found their template in the last two matches, winning over Chennai (six runs) and Punjab (50 runs). The return of Sanju Samson (137 runs, SR 152.22) as captain has refreshed their batting, while Jofra Archer revived memories of his best with returns of 3-1-13-1 and 4-0-25-3 in his last two matches.
There are still concerns over the under-utilisation of Nitish Rana (112 runs, SR 186.66), while Wanindu Hasaranga’s economy rate (9.54) is a concern.

Tushar Deshpande sat out the previous match with a niggle and could be back here, in place of Yudhvir Singh. Akash Madhwal is another player who’s been warming up the bench.
