🔎 Match Preview – RR vs GT, IPL 2025
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to take on the table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 47 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, on Monday, April 28, at 7:30 PM IST.
Rajasthan Royals are enduring a tough season, sitting at the bottom end of the points table with just two wins from nine matches. With Sanju Samson absent, Riyan Parag has been leading the side, but their inability to finish matches—especially while chasing—has cost them dearly. The Royals have failed to close out tight games, including a recent collapse against RCB while needing just 18 runs from the last 12 balls with five wickets in hand.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans have bounced back from their 2024 slump in dominant fashion. Under Shubman Gill’s leadership, they’ve secured six wins in eight games and are looking playoff-bound. Sai Sudharsan, the current Orange Cap holder, has been a rock at the top, while Prasidh Krishna is among the Purple Cap contenders with consistent wickets across phases.
With one team desperate to revive a lost campaign and the other riding high on form, this clash in Jaipur promises to be high-octane.
