Kagiso Rabada's Availability in Question for Clash of Formidable Teams: GT vs RR, IPL Predicted Lineups
9 days ago | 5 Views
Gujarat Titans have made a strong start in the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), while the Rajasthan Royals appear to be finding their rhythm again with Sanju Samson reinstated as captain. Both teams share similar batting strategies; however, GT has enjoyed a smoother journey, whereas RR has had to navigate through some challenging performances before hitting their stride.
GT's top order, featuring Jos Buttler—who faces his former team after a seven-year stint—captain Shubman Gill, and Sai Sudharsan, has been performing exceptionally well, contributing significantly to their success in winning three out of four matches played so far.
Conversely, RR boasts a similarly impressive top order, but they have struggled to find consistency. Yashasvi Jaiswal had three underwhelming performances by his high standards before finally breaking through in the last match against PBKS, scoring 67 runs off 45 balls. Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag also made notable contributions, which were crucial for their victory in that game.
A key element in their success was Jofra Archer's outstanding bowling performance, taking 3 wickets for 25 runs, which earned him the player of the match accolade. With Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, and Wanindu Hasaranga all delivering strong performances, RR's bowling attack executed their game plan effectively.
A significant concern for GT is Rashid Khan's sluggish start to the season. Nevertheless, the Afghan spinner has a commendable record against Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer, both vital players for RR. His recent figures of 0/31 against SRH in GT's last match were more promising than his earlier outings. There is uncertainty surrounding Kagiso Rabada's availability, suggesting that Ishant Sharma is likely to feature in the next game.
Gujarat Titans Likely XI and Impact Player: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(wk), Washington Sundar, Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma/Arshad Khan
