Rajasthan Royals suffered a six-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians in their previous match. In fact, RR have only won one out of their last four matches. Due to this, they are currently in the fourth place. With only a few matches left in the competition, they will be looking to get back to their best form. Jos Buttler has failed to deliver in the recent few matches and that was one of the concerning areas for RR. However, with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring at an impressive rate, they have managed to get good starts. In the bowling, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Ashwin are the key players for the Rajasthan side.

Defending champions Gujarat Titans are currently at the top of the IPL 2023 table. They however were stunned by DC in their previous match. Gujarat will be looking to get back to the winning ways. Shubman Gill has been one of the best batters in this season and he along with Hardik Pandya and David Miller is the biggest strength of GT's batting lineup. Meanwhile, the trio of Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed will be leading Gujarat's bowling attack.
