Gujarat Titans face Rajasthan Royals in Match 23 of IPL 2025 on Wednesday, April 9th, in Ahmedabad. GT have won 3 of 4 games and sit second, while RR bounced back from two early losses to win their last two, placing seventh.
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has shown mixed behavior. One match saw over 475 runs scored, while the next offered grip to spinners and seamers. A similar surface may see teams target the powerplay before conditions slow down. Batting second could prove harder. The weather is expected to be hot and dry, with no rain interruptions likely during the game.

GT vs RR Prediction
Gujarat Titans have bounced back strongly after an early loss at home, winning four matches in a row to move to second in the table. Their top three—Sudharsan, Gill, and Buttler—are in good form. Sudharsan leads the team’s scoring with 191 runs in four games at a strike rate of 150.39. The bowling attack, led by Siraj, Krishna, and Kishore, has delivered consistently. Kishore has kept things tight with an economy of 7.06.
Rajasthan Royals started poorly but turned things around with wins against CSK and Punjab. Archer returned to form, while Hasaranga and Theekshana claimed 10 wickets. Sandeep Sharma’s control in the death overs adds depth to their attack. The Royals dominated Punjab by 50 runs in their last game, posting 205 for 4. With both teams in rhythm and key players stepping up, this match in Ahmedabad promises to be a tightly contested one.

Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals – Who Will Win?
Gujarat Titans hold the advantage heading into their match against the Rajasthan Royals. GT has looked more balanced across departments and are unbeaten in their last four games. Their strong home record adds to their edge. Rajasthan Royals, though improved after a slow start, still rely heavily on their top order. If Archer makes early inroads and the top three fire, they could challenge GT. However, their inconsistency remains a concern.
