The 18th season of the Indian Premier League has entered its 3rd week of the tournament. In the 23rd fixture of the IPL 2025 league stage, the Gujarat Titans will host the Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Both teams have different strengths and weaknesses but they both are competent enough to give each other a competitive fixture. They both carry multiple key players and T20 stars who can come out as the match-winners for their respective teams.
Gujarat Titans have a strong top order, with skipper Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler to start the game. The team is mostly dependent on Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler for a strong start. Washington Sundar was introduced at number in the previous fixture, and he made full use of the opportunity. Coming in at number 4, Washington Sundar scored 49 off 29 balls at a strike rate of 168.97 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous game.
Mohammed Siraj and Sai Kishore have come out as the top wicket-takers for the team. The only issue with the Gujarat Titans right now is the declining form of Rashid Khan and their unpredictable middle order.
The Rajasthan Royals started their IPL 2025 campaign with two consecutive losses, and hence, they are still in the process of figuring out the right combination of players. Yashaswi Jaiswal has finally started scoring runs, and he did well in the previous game against Punjab Kings. It will be interesting to see if he can continue the momentum in the fixtures.
For the Royals, the biggest headache right now is their bowling attack, which has struggled to make an impact. Their pacers have found themselves in a difficult situation at the starting hours of every game.
In this article, we bring you a list of player battles that are expected to take place during the GT vs RR match on Wednesday. These player battles will also impact the live betting on trusted betting sites in India.
