IPL match today, RR vs GT: Playing XI Prediction, head-to-head, Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch report, weather in Jaipur

In red-hot form, Gujarat Titans will look to tighten their grip on the top spot and edge closer to a playoff berth when they face Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League on Monday. Perched atop the 10-team table with six wins from eight matches, the Shubman Gill-led Titans require just two more victories to seal qualification.

Functioning like a well-oiled machine, Gujarat have lost only twice this season. Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna have been standout performers, leading the Orange and Purple Cap races, respectively. Gill, Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler have each amassed over 300 runs at strike rates exceeding 150, showcasing consistency and firepower.

Despite Kagiso Rabada’s early departure, Gujarat’s bowling has flourished. Prasidh has claimed 16 wickets at a stunning average of 14.12, while Mohammed Siraj and R Sai Kishore have picked up 12 wickets each, providing crucial breakthroughs.

Who's that IPL player?

In stark contrast, Rajasthan Royals are almost out of the playoffs race following a narrow loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. With five consecutive defeats, the Royals are ninth on the table. While Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and Nitish Rana have shown promise, their bowling failures have left them playing for pride in their remaining games.

Pitch report for RR vs GT

The Royals have lost both their home matches so far — by nine wickets against RCB and by two runs against LSG. At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium , the square boundaries measure 67m and 63m, with a straight boundary of 73m. The pitch offers an even covering of grass, suggesting good pace and bounce for the fast bowlers. However, with a few bare patches and a hot day ahead, the surface is expected to be dry. A par score at this venue is around 185, and any team reaching that mark should be well-placed to secure a win.
