Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals Team Preview

Gujarat Titans

After suffering a devastating loss against Rinku Singh’s Kolkata Knight Riders, the Gujarat Titans have returned to Ahmedabad. They not only have a strong batting lineup with more depth, but Joshua Little and Alzarri Joseph have made outstanding contributions to their ability to take wickets.

Due to his significant performance in the last game, Mohit Sharma is predicted to earn a spot in the starting Eleven. In addition, David Miller will again offer batting depth alongside Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia.

Rajasthan Royals

The Rajasthan Royals have won three of their first four games in the campaign, making them one of the favorites to take home the 2023 championship. Also, they defeated MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings in a thrilling match prior to entering Match 23. Apart from Jos Butler, the batting performances haven’t been particularly consistent, which skipper Sanju Samson would like to change as soon as possible.

Riyan Parag was replaced by Devdutt Padikkal in the starting lineup, and he will likely once again warm the bench for the forthcoming match. Trent Boult, a Kiwi pacer, is also most likely to return for Match 23 after an injury, which might force Sandeep Sharma to the bench.

Both sides have a strong attacking lineup with heavy hitters at the top and the bottom. At this location, teams batting second have won more T20 matches, hence both captains would probably choose to bowl first.

There will be sunshine and a peak temperature of 41 degrees Celsius. 

It is a balanced pitch, and hitters get more help from the surface. Although historically the pitch has slowed down, batters have recently been able to record some impressive totals.
