Gujarat will look to climb to the top of the points table with a win in front of their home fans. After suffering a narrow 11-run defeat to Punjab Kings in their opening fixture, GT has won three games in a row against Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In their most recent fixture against the Orange Army, Mohammed Siraj starred with a four-for before captain Shubman Gill's unbeaten half-century helped the 2022 champions topple a 153-run target with seven wickets and 20 balls to spare.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, started their campaign with two consecutive defeats to Sunrisers and Kolkata Knight Riders. However, they have bounced back strongly to register wins against Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings. The Sanju Samson-led side is coming into this clash after beating Punjab by 50 runs in Mullanpur. The inaugural champions would want to extend the winning streak further and continue their climb up the table.
