India Today
Today at IPL 2022, RR vs GT Prediction and Probable XIs: Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will battle for the top spot as the two high-quality outfits meet at the DY Patil Stadium on Thursday after contrasting results in their previous games.
Gujarat Titans will be eager to prove that their loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad was only a blip in an otherwise perfect start to their IPL 2022 season when they take on table-toppers Rajasthan Royals in Match 24 at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans got off to a fine start, winning their first three matches but were humbled by Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday. Having had a 2-day break, the Titans will be raring to go today.
Gujarat are in 5th spot as 5 teams are tied on 6 points each in the IPL 2022 points table, but a win in Mumbai on Thursday will help them displace the Royals from the numero uno position.
It's not going to be easy as Rajasthan have been one of the most well-rounded teams of IPL 2022, having collected 3 wins in 4 matches despite Samson losing tosses.
The much-anticipated battle between two of the best pacer attacks, with Lockie Ferguson and Mohammed Shami on GT's side and Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna in RR's side, is adding to the hype around the contest. It will also be Rashid Khan vs the class of R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Rajasthan Royals: RR are heading into Thursday's contest on the back of a thrilling 3-run win over Lucknow Super Giants. RR successfully defended 165 after stunning spells from Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Sen, who defended 15 runs against Marcus Stoinis in the final over. RR's decision to also retire out R Ashwin grabbed the eyeballs after Shimron Hetmyer's onslaught.
RR so far: Beat SRH by 61 runs, beat MI by 23 runs, lost to RCB by 4 wickets, beat LSG by 3 runs
