IPL 2025: GT Playing XI vs RR- Match 47

The left-handed opening batter is the leading run-getter of the IPL 2025 with 417 runs in eight innings at an average of 52.12 and a strike rate of 152.18, having on five half-centuries at the best score of 82 runs.

Gujarat’s captain, Gill, has also started to get back into the runs. He played a fantastic knock in the previous away game against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. His 90 runs, on a surface that was not easy to bat on at the start, were vital for them to post a huge score on the board.

Both Gill and Sudharsan are key to the side’s aggressive batting and success. Quite regularly, they have put on century partnerships to put pressure on the opposition sides.

Middle order- Jos Buttler (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Sherfane Rutherford, Washington Sundar

Jos Buttler came into the crease after a dominating opening stand in the middle overs. The wicket-keeper batter went hard at the bowlers from the very first ball, and that put pressure on the KKR bowlers. He remained unbeaten on 41 runs in 23 balls at a strike rate of nearly 180, thanks to eight boundaries.

Shahrukh Khan drilled 11 runs in five balls at a strike rate of 220. Washington Sundar is the left-handed spin all-rounder who can provide them overs in the spin department and can also bat the run flowing if they want.

Sherfane Rutherford is the lower-order batter for GT, who can offer them aggression with the bat towards the backend of the inning, which will also help them to get more fiery runs in the death overs.

Bowlers: Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj (Impact)

Rashid Khan has returned at his best with strong figures of 2/25 in four overs at an economy rate of 6.25. Prasidh Krishna has used his hard line and length for a strong figure of 2/25 in four overs.

Mohammad Siraj has bowled well for figures of 1/32 in four overs at an economy rate of eight, while Ishant Sharma ended with 1/18 in two overs. The bowlers have used the variations pretty well to get the opponent batters.

Gill has used the bowlers smartly on the ground. R Sai Kishore used the right line and length against the aggressive all-rounder, Andre Russell, for figures of 1/19 in three overs at an economy rate of 6.33. The Titans, with six victories, will now hope to get into the top two positions in the points table.
