Stats
Head to Head:
Both teams faced each other five times in the IPL so far and Gujarat won the face-off four times in the past. But this time Rajasthan might show their resistance and will try to minimize the gap in the head-to-head margin.
Rajasthan has all bases covered. Even though their openers failed in a couple of games their middle order saved them. The bowling department is also lethal for them and in the last game opener Jos Butler came to form which will give them an edge over GT.
Gujarat should focus more on their bowling and middle-order batting. The form of Captain Gill is a matter of one innings but there is no hope for them in the middle and lower middle order. They should bring Shahruk Khan to strengthen their batting. Let’s see how GT manages the table toppers today.
Pitch Analysis:
Normally, Jaipur’s pitch has some assistance for spinners as well as pacers. Only two times in IPL history have teams hit 200 here. But recently the runs are flowing here and becoming a batting paradise. Since there is an unpredictability in the wicket there might be a chance where the team winning the toss might choose to bowl first.

Players to Watch Out For:
Rajasthan: For Rajasthan, it will be Jaiswal. He is the only player in Rajasthan who has not made any impact so far. His good performance will ease the pressure down the order and aid with an easy victory.
Gujarat: For Gujarat, it will be Captain Gill. He is a game changer and can win the matches single-handedly. But his poor form is costing his team. He should play his natural game with a little more game awareness and should take the team over the finish line.
Conclusion:
Gujarat should try to win this game to stay ahead of the teams with 4 points or they might be in a tough spot as the tournament progresses. As for Rajasthan, they should make any mistake to lose the game. That’s how they are playing this season. All the players in RR are rising up to the occasion. Can they rise tonight too? Let’s see.
