 "GT vs RR playing 11")
Gujarat Titans (GT) are hosting the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad tonight in a highly anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash. RR skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and decided to bowl first in an important tie against Gujarat tonight.
The two teams have previously played against each other six times in IPL history, with GT holding a 5-1 win advantage. However, the story of the ongoing season 18 is quite different, as both GT and RR are separated by only two points after four games.
But so is the nature of the IPL—past records mean little once the match begins. Before these two captains take the field for their Monday night clash, let us assess the captaincy dynamics and probable playing XIs.

GT playing 11 vs RR
Gujarat Titans are currently looking like one of the best teams in the tournament. Their top three—Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler—have all been in excellent form, and regular contributions from the middle order make them one of the most well-rounded units. Their spin duo of Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan are taking wickets and stopping the run flow in the middle overs, while pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna are striking at regular intervals. Their only concern may be the form of pacer Ishant Sharma, but apart from that, they are a complete side and are unlikely to make any changes in their playing 11 for the match.

RR playing 11 vs GT (probable)
Rajasthan Royals, just like GT, have started to pick up pace after early jitters. Their top order looks solid except for Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has failed to deliver so far this season. However, their middle order is stacked, and their bowling department has shown significant improvement in the last two matches. So, it is safe to assume that RR will likely go with the same playing 11 today unless forced to make a change due to injury.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (captain), Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Shimron Hetmyer, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Sandeep Sharma
Impact player: Shubham Dubey
