IPL match today, RR vs GT: Head-to-head record between both sides; check fantasy team, pitch report

RR star Yuzvendra Chahal can bag a massive feat in the upcoming IPL 2024 match against GT. Here’s all you need to know about RR vs GT tie.

The only undefeated side in the 2024 edition, Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals will host former champions Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The focus is on Yashasvi Jaiswal’s form as the Indian opener will aim to end his low-scoring run in the Indian Premier League 2024 on Wednesday. India’s rising star Jaiswal arrived at the IPL 2024 after a run-scoring fest against England in the ICC World Test Championship. However, the RR opener has witnessed a dip in form in the league stage of the IPL 2024.

Though RR have recorded four wins in as many matches, Jaiswal has only scored 39 runs in four T20s. While Jaiswal has struggled to get going, his partner-in-crime, Jos Buttler, will be Rajasthan’s go-to batter against the 2022 winners. England superstar Buttler overshadowed Virat Kohli with his quick-fire 100* against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in RR’s previous IPL 2024 outing at the same venue. Ton-up Buttler powered RR to a six-wicket win over RCB.
