Rajasthan Royals (RR) are off to a decent start this season, having secured a convincing 50-run win over Punjab Kings in their latest outing. Powered by stellar performances from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and Sanju Samson, RR posted 205/4 and restricted PBKS to just 155/9. With confidence high in the camp, the Royals now gear up for a much-anticipated clash against Gujarat Titans (GT), a side that has historically had the upper hand in this rivalry.
For this important fixture, RR are likely to go in with a strong and well-balanced playing XI. The top order will be spearheaded by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has looked in sublime touch, and Sanju Samson, who will don the wicket keeping gloves. Nitish Rana adds depth to the batting unit, while the middle order boasts the flair of Riyan Parag and the calm presence of Dhruv Jurel. Big-hitters Wanindu Hasaranga and Shimron Hetmyer provide the firepower during the death overs, ensuring a powerful lower order. In the bowling department, RR will rely on the raw pace and skill of Jofra Archer, the mystery of Maheesh Theekshana, and the accuracy of Sandeep Sharma. Young pacer Yudhvir also adds variety to the pace attack, offering a balanced combination of youth and experience.
