In the third over bowled by Siraj, Vaibhav Suryavanshi had hit 3 fours, then the fifth ball was bowled at a fast pace. The batsman swung the bat, but the ball only went high and Arshad Khan caught it. Siraj celebrated by shouting loudly on this wicket, which showed how important this wicket was.

Rajasthan Royals have been seen faltering in the last few matches, the team has won only 2 out of the last 5 whereas the team started with 4 consecutive wins. On the other hand, under the captaincy of Shubhman Gill, Gujarat team is winning 3 consecutive matches, but is still out of the top-4. There will be an exciting match today, know which team seems to have the upper hand and who is ahead in the head to head.

Everyone’s eyes will be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is playing explosively this season too. Last year he scored a century in 35 balls, which was against Gujarat Titans. The venue was also the same (Sawai Mansingh Stadium), Suryavanshi would like to repeat the same today. Yashasvi Jaiswal also tries to get a fast start, but his bat has not worked yet in Jaipur. In the 2 innings played in Jaipur, he has scored only 16 runs (10 and 6), this is a cause for concern.

Gujarat Titans fast bowlers also tested

GT fast bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada will be under pressure today as to how they bowl against Vaibhav Suryavanshi, because if they play even 8-10 overs, a big score will be made. So far Siraj has looked brilliant, he has bowled 73 overs in the powerplay and taken 7 wickets. His economy is also 6.9. Rabada is currently the highest wicket-taker in the powerplay, having made 11 batsmen his victims.

gill vs archer

Today there will be a battle between Shubhman Gill and Joffra Archer. So far, Archer has dominated this battle, having given only 16 runs in 6 innings and been out 3 times. Today Gill will have to show his class. Gill has played 3 half-century innings so far. If Gujarat wants to win today, Gill’s move will be necessary.

Jos Buttler, who is in Gujarat Titans, played in Rajasthan Royals for many years, and his record in Jaipur is also good. In such a situation, Butler can also play a big innings today.

Who will dominate today?

Today Gujarat Titans seem to have the upper hand. Gujarat’s fast bowling and middle order batting seem to be stronger. Rajasthan has lost both its matches played in Jaipur this year, this will also put mental pressure on RR.
