In Match 23 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) are hosting Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium tonight. Gujarat and Rajasthan will hope that their stretched-to-the-hilt bowling units will find their range on an Ahmedabad flatbed.
Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson won the coin toss in Ahmedabad and have decided to chase in the 2nd innings
The Titans now have six points, and a win will keep them in the top echelons of the points chart, while the Royals, who now have four points, will need the win to wriggle free from the mid-table tussle.
The GT have scored three wins on trot, and RR two in successive matches to be placed where they are now in the points table, but that mini streak hides a rather underwhelming bowling effort.
The Gujarat outfit is riding on individual brilliance by pacer Mohammed Siraj and spinner R Sai Kishore.
But the form of ace spinner Rashid Khan and experienced quick Ishant Sharma is not encouraging even when they operated at the more helpful tracks at Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Rashid, an accomplished T20 master, has taken just a wicket from four matches while giving away in excess of 10 runs an over.
It's easily the worst start the Afghan had experienced in any of his previous IPL seasons.
