The 47th match of IPL 2025 will see Rajasthan Royals (RR) take on Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 28. Rajasthan Royals are struggling this season, currently sitting ninth on the points table with just two wins from nine games. In contrast, the Gujarat Titans are enjoying a superb campaign, leading the standings with six wins in eight matches.
RR are coming off a narrow 11-run loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where Yashasvi Jaiswal stood out with a gritty 49-run knock. Meanwhile, GT continued their strong run, defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by 39 runs, powered by Shubman Gill’s brilliant 90.

Historically, the Titans have dominated this rivalry. In seven previous meetings, GT have won six times, while RR have managed just one victory. With the playoff race heating up, the Rajasthan Royals will be desperate to break Gujarat’s stranglehold and revive their fading hopes.
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
RR will once again be without their regular skipper Sanju Samson, with Riyan Parag set to lead the side. All eyes will be on Jofra Archer, who could play a crucial role with the new ball. Archer has an impressive record against Gujarat Titans’ captain Shubman Gill, having dismissed him three times in just 15 deliveries in IPL history, conceding only 10 runs. Gill has also struggled against other Royals pacers, with Akash Madhwal and Tushar Deshpande getting him twice each, while Sandeep Sharma has kept him quiet at a strike rate of just 65.62.
Probable XII: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Jofra Archer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Akash Madhwal, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande/Shubham Dubey
Gujarat Titans: (GT)
GT will likely miss the services of Kagiso Rabada and Gerald Coetzee for this clash. However, Mohammed Siraj, who boasts the highest dot-ball percentage this season, could be vital in containing Rajasthan’s aggressive top order, especially during the powerplay where the Royals have often dominated this season.
Probable XII: Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Washington Sundar, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma
