In the 47th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) will face Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday. Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, Gujarat Titans are in excellent form and will look to secure a playoff spot with a win, while Rajasthan Royals will be aiming to play for pride.
Currently, Gujarat Titans are placed second in the points table. They have won six out of their eight matches so far and lost only twice. With just two more wins needed to confirm their place in the playoffs, GT looks strong in all departments — both batting and bowling.
On the other hand, it has been a disappointing season for Rajasthan Royals. After losing seven out of their nine matches, they are almost out of the playoff race. Now, the team will play their remaining games to salvage pride. Although Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and Nitish Rana have played some good innings here and there, the team has struggled to deliver match-winning performances consistently.
Their bowling unit has also lacked consistency, leading to repeated defeats in crucial moments. The absence of Sanju Samson has further increased the pressure, and now young Riyan Parag has the responsibility to lead the side. Rajasthan might include spinner Kumar Kartikeya in the playing XI for this match.
