LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: That is it!
In the previous game, GT failed to chase down a target of 130. However, in the current game, they appeared as if they could have chased double that score. It was a thumping reply from the team, indicating their champion status. The day began with Pandya dismissing Buttler, and then Jaiswal being run out by skipper Samson. Josh Little took the wicket of Samson, and then the Afghan duo of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad ran through the middle-order. At one point, it seemed like the hosts might struggle to get past 100, but then Trent Boult played a few shots to help RR reach a score of 118. However, the target posed no challenge for GT, who replied confidently with both Saha and Gill scoring runs. Chahal deceived Gill with a leg spinner, but that wicket only made things worse for RR. As Gill was replaced by Hardik, he took advantage of Zampa and hit him for three sixes and a four, showing his hurry to finish things off. GT had a resounding win, with Saha and Rashid getting back to form and Hardik Pandya scoring runs quickly once again. Rajasthan, on the other hand, will dismiss it as an off day, but the issue is that these off days have been occurring far too regularly now for Sanju Samson and his team.

Yuzvendra Chahal has claimed the wicket of Shubman Gill with a classic leg-spin delivery. Chahal pitched the ball up and enticed Gill to come down the track, who attempted a big swing but was left stranded outside his crease as the ball spun away sharply. Sanju Samson made an easy stumping to dismiss Gill. The GT batter scored 36 runs off 35 balls, including 6 boundaries.

LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Mid-innings break
Zampa is run out by Abhinav Manohar's throw, trying to complete a run! It's been an eventful night, and just when RR thought things couldn't get any worse, they did. Zampa hits the ball off the toe end, and it goes high in the air, luring the fielder Shankar to run back from cover. Abhinav, who is positioned at sweeper on the right side, sprints in and collects the ball cleanly before firing a quick and accurate throw at the batting end. Zampa tries to make it to the crease, but the throw beats him, and he is short of his ground. Zampa departs after scoring 7 runs off 9 balls, as RR posts their lowest total in Jaipur.

Boult's off-stump is sent flying by Shami's delivery, bowled out! The ball is a wobbling seam, full delivery, clocking 142 kilometres per hour, aimed at the base of the stumps. Boult moves away from the stumps a bit too much, leaving himself little room to make contact with the ball. As he tries to bring his bat down, it is too late, and the stumps are left in disarray. Boult departs after scoring 15 runs, including 1 four and 1 six. Shami gets another wicket to his name.

Hetmyer falls to Rashid Khan's bowling, lbw! The batsman has to depart, as RR has no more reviews left. The delivery from Khan drifts in on a good length and skids straight with a slight hint of inward turn. Hetmyer takes a big stride forward but fails to make contact with the ball, missing the inside edge by a significant margin. The ball hits him in front of the middle stump, and the umpire raises the finger.

Padikkal falls to Noor Ahmad's spin bowling, bowled out! The Afghan wrist spinners are causing problems for RR, as Padikkal attempts a defensive shot without being sure if the ball is spinning in or out. He positions himself too far to the leg side, but the delivery turns sharply, evades the bat and hits the off-stump, sending it flying out of the ground.

Despite being a talented young player, Parag struggled to pick Rashid's deliveries and played across the line, only to be struck in line with off stump. The ball tracker confirmed that it was hitting the middle of middle stump, and RR lost their review as well. It was a disappointing outing for Riyan Parag, who was brought in as an impact sub for RR.

Ashwin's bafflement against Rashid Khan continues, as the spinner gets the better of him with a superb delivery that hits the stumps. In the previous over, Ashwin failed to connect with both short and fuller deliveries, giving Rashid the confidence to bowl straight at the stumps. As expected, Ashwin couldn't read Rashid's leg spin and was bowled, leaving him with a mere 2 runs from 6 balls.

The right-hander hit three fours and a six during his 20-ball stay but couldn't convert it into a big score. It's a heartbreaking moment for Samson and his fans alike as he falls once again after looking set.

LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Jaiswal Run Out
A disastrous mix-up between Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal led to Jaiswal's run out during the IPL match. Rashid Khan delivered a shortish ball, which Samson cut away nicely, prompting Jaiswal to attempt a run. However, an excellent diving save by the fielder caused confusion, with both batsmen ending up at the keeper's end. Samson managed to make it back to his crease, but Jaiswal was already there. The fielder then calmly relayed the ball to Rashid's end, resulting in Jaiswal's run-out.

The delivery was back of a length outside off stump, which seamed away, tempting Buttler into a backfoot shot. He managed to get an edge, and the ball flew straight to the waiting fielder. The Englishman could only manage 8 runs off 6 balls, including 2 fours, before being dismissed.

LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Both team captains at the toss
Hardik Pandya: We were going to bat first as well. If the home captain does not know to what to choose, I thought might as well bowl and see what happens. They are a strong, consistent side. We have to be at our best. I don't think so (smiles, when asked about changes to his side).
Sanju Samson: We would like to bat first. It's a bit hard to read this pitch. Let's bat a few overs and figure out later. The standard of cricket we are playing is really good. We were expecting something like this from Jaiswal with the prep he had been putting in. Zampa comes in place of Holder.
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Toss Report
Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bat first against Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Friday.
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Pitch Report
Since IPL 2018, the average first-innings score at Sawai Man Singh Stadium is 164, with fast bowlers taking more wickets than spinners (97 vs 64) but spinners being more economical (7.4 vs 8.6). The weather is set fair for the game after some showers in Jaipur this week. The pitch for Friday night's game had a substantial covering of live grass on Thursday evening, with some drier patches at a good length. The strip is slightly off-centre, resulting in one square boundary being marginally shorter than the other.
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Shivam Mavi vs Sanju Samson
Titans could consider using Shivam Mavi as a super-specialist against Samson, as Mavi has knocked him over five times in 25 deliveries for 34 runs in T20 cricket.
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Jaiswal vs Spinners
Jaiswal has not been dismissed by a spinner this season, scoring 139 runs off 93 balls, including seven sixes. However, he hits fast bowlers well, with a balls per boundary ratio of 3.1. If he scores a minimum of 25 in his next innings, he will become the third-quickest Indian to reach 1000 IPL runs, behind Sachin Tendulkar and Ruturaj Gaikwad.
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Royals in powerplay
Royals have the highest run rate of 9.6 in the powerplay this IPL, but Titans have the most economical bowling unit with a run rate of 7.3. Both teams have excelled in other key metrics, such as scoring rate at the death (Titans on top with 12, followed by Royals with 11.7) and spin strength (Titans on top with 15.5 balls per wicket, followed by Royals with 16.2).
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Ashwin vs Right Handers
Despite being an off-spinner, Ashwin has taken out nine right-handers and is the league's joint fourth-best dismisser of right-hand batsmen.
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Jos Buttler blowing hot and cold
Although Jos Buttler had a strong start to the tournament, scoring 204 runs in his first four matches at a strike rate of 170, he has struggled in the five matches since then, managing only 85 runs at less than a run-a-ball.
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Pandya vs Chahal
Despite being a world-class spin-hitter, Hardik Pandya's record against Yuzvendra Chahal is poor, with 48 runs off 55 balls and three dismissals. On the other hand, David Miller has an excellent record against Chahal, scoring 96 runs off 52 balls with three dismissals. Miller could neutralize one of Royals' key wicket-takers if he spends a long time in the middle.
LIVE RR vs GT In IPL 2023: Samson vs Rashid
Samson poses the biggest threat to Rashid Khan, Titans' best bowler, if he gets off to a strong start. In their previous game, Royals' captain dominated this head-to-head by hitting 28 runs in just nine balls.
