Pre-Match Analysis:
Gujarat Titans have hit the success button in the IPL 2025 and gradually improving their status in the standings to position themselves 2nd with 6 points. How they regrouped as a team from their early loss to win their next 3 matches shows their character. Titans went down in their first outing by a mere 11 runs against Punjab Kings and raised their bar to a different level to beat Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Sunrisers Hyderabad with a lot of ease. Mohammed Siraj’s magic with the ball has garnered significant attention as he is putting on a show after the Champions Trophy snub and picked up 9 wickets across 4 matches. Left arm-spinner, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore has exceeded the expectations, bagging 8 scalps in 4 matches.
Coming to their batting unit, the top order has done the bulk of the duties with Tamil Nadu batter Sai Sudharsan leading the way with 191 runs, followed by Jos Buttler (166), Shubman Gill (146), and Sherfane Rutherford (129). Washington Sundar’s surprise promotion to No.4 turned out to be a master-stroke, who made 49 from 29 balls against Sunrisers. They have got players in every position, who can play the situation accordingly.
The mood in the Rajasthan Royals camp is buzzing with confidence following well-earned wins over Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings by 6 runs and 50 runs respectively. The commanding win over in-form Punjab Kings is an indication that they can beat any side on their day. The contest saw a lot of positives for the franchise where Sanju Samson, who played his first game as a skipper this year, scored 38 runs, flamboyant left-hand batter Yashasvi Jaiswal hit his first half-century (68), Riyan Parag recorded his highest score in IPL 2025, with an unbeaten 43*, Ace speedster Jofra Archer, who was struggling to get wickets, returned with the figures of 3 for 25.
They truly deserve this victory and are keen to extend the momentum going forward. Currently, they are placed 7th in the standings with 4 points.
