Ahmedabad, Apr 8 (UNI) Gujarat Titans will aim to consolidate their position in the top two and extend their supremacy over Rajasthan Royals when the two sides clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Wednesday in a high-stakes IPL 2025 encounter, with captain Shubman Gill eyeing a personal milestone at a venue where he has been near-invincible.
With five wins in six previous meetings between the sides, including a playoff triumph, Gujarat have established a psychological edge over Rajasthan. Adding to RR's concerns is the imperious form of Gill at this venue. The stylish right-hander has amassed 1024 runs in just 20 innings here, averaging 60.23 at a strike rate of 160.25, numbers that underscore his comfort at the world’s largest cricket stadium.
Gujarat come into the fixture on the back of a three wins with Gill looking in sublime touch, and with consistent support from Sai Sudharsan, Washington Sundar and aggressive batsmen like Sherfane Rutherford, Gujarat's batting looks balanced and potent.
