The Gujarat Titans will be back at home and they will be up against the Rajasthan Royals in their fifth match of the season. While the Titans have won three out of four, the Royals have lost just one game only as well, and that too on the last ball.
These two teams last met in the final of the last season where Hardik Pandya's all-round bravado proved too good for the liking of the Royals. It happened on the same ground where this match is taking place. Therefore, the Sanju Samson's side would be looking to avenge that loss.

The Gujarat wicket in the evening matches becomes the run-fest ground. It is mostly because the boundaries are also comparatively smaller and the wickets are fresh compared to what they will become late in the season.

Gujarat Titans playing combination
The Titans would hope that it doesn’t come to the last ball like in the last game. Vijay Shankar, even after being in great form, just couldn’t get to bat. Pandya would have to make sure that Shankar gets a proper bat.

The Royals have stitched together a great playing 11 which consists of fiery openers in Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. Sanju Samson hasn’t looked in good touch, so he would have to buckle up.
