Rajasthan Royals Playing 11 vs Gujarat Titans- IPL 2025, Match 47:
Openers: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal
Vaibhav Suryavanshi will open the batting for the Rajasthan Royals along with an in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal in the upcoming game against GT. The duo will look to replicate the starts they have given the team in the last couple of games, while Suryavanshi would hope to continue his rich vein of form.
Yashasvi, on the other hand, has also been in decent form in the last three matches and has scored two half-centuries in the last three games. the left-hander will look to do the same against GT in Jaipur.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Sanju Samson (c/wk), Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga
Rajasthan Royals would be sweating over the fitness of regular captain Sanju Samson, who sustained an injury while batting against DC and has missed the team's last two matches.
RR's middle order has found itself in a peculiar situation in the last couple of matches, with the likes of Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, and Shimron Hetmyer unable to close out matches for the team in the last over of the game, which has been the case in the last three matches against DC, LSG, and RCB respectively.
Riyan Parag, who was the stand-in captain in the last two matches, has played outrageous shots to get out at a time when the team needed him the most. Riyan's lack of game awareness has been one of the reasons for the Rajasthan Royals' poor performance while chasing in the last three games.
Dhruv Jurel, on the other hand, looked set to be third time lucky and finish off the game against RCB in Bengaluru, but the right-hander chased a wide ball in the second last over of the game when the chase was under Rajasthan Royals' control.
Bowlers: Sandeep Sharma, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande
RR would want their bowlers to pick up wickets in the first six overs and give good support to Jofra Archer, who has been bowling with pace and control but has lacked support from the other end, which was evident in the last game against RCB.
RR are in desperate need of a good fourth fast bowling option who can stem the flow of runs in the middle overs, as the likes of Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma have been effective in patches but have lacked consistency.
The Spin duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga have also regained their form in the last couple of matches and have played their part to the best of their abilities by picking up wickets in the middle overs, but have also leaked runs at crucial moments.
