The surface at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is one of the best sporting wickets in the league. Slightly bigger boundaries and a variable bounce of the wicket make it challenging to clear the fence.

Pre-Match Analysis:
The term ‘Chokers’ perfectly aligns with the Rajasthan Royals, who have fallen short in tight situations during their previous three run-chases. Now they are on the verge of elimination after enduring five losses in a row. Currently placed 9th with 4 points, even if they emerge on top in the remaining 5 games, their chances of further qualification are very limited, given the intense competition among the top four. The absence of skipper Sanju Samson is another significant blow, as he didn’t start in the last couple of matches due to an abdominal injury.
In their latest fixture against the Royal Challengers, the stage was well set for the Royals to end their four-match losing streak; however, they failed to score 18 runs in the last two overs with five wickets in hand. They should have been more cautious after failing to score an identical nine runs in the last over against Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants. They need to show more intent on Monday in all aspects to get back to the winning zone.
Gujarat Titans are flawless in the league, and their results are proof as they stand firmly in the top half of the standings with 12 points. They will be hitting the ground running after a week-long break and are keen to extend their dominance. Titans can’t take the Royals for granted and just need to do the basics right.
Shubman Gill and his men are in form, winning four of their last five matches. Their latest victory by 39 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens was well deserved. Another splendid batting display from openers Sai Sudharsan (52) and Shubman Gill (90) gave them a good head start, and a finishing touch from Jos Buttler (41) got them close to the 200-run mark. Not to forget, the efforts of the bowlers, who restricted their opponents to 159 for 8. With identical figures of 2 for 25, Rashid Khan and Prasidh Krishna emerged as their best performers.
