Toss Update:
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to field first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 9, 2025. Gujarat Titans have retained the original playing XI, whilst Rajasthan Royals have made one change to their side by bringing in Fazalhaq Farooqi in place of Wanindu Hasaranga, who misses out on the match due to personal reasons.
Preview:
Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will hope to keep their momentum going when they lock horns at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 9, 2025 on Wednesday. With both sides coming off wins in their last matches, they will want to keep the winning momentum going at the iconic venue.
Rajasthan Royals seemed to have gotten their combination right after losing the first two games. With Riyan Parag captaining the Royals to a nervy six-run victory over the Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. Sanju Samson, who resumed donning the captaincy hat, continued the momentum and carried it further with a convincing win over the Punjab Kings in Mullanpur. With Jofra Archer also rediscovering his rhythm and the bite, the Royals appear to be a threatening prospect.
The Titans, meanwhile, looked to have established themselves as a firm contender to lift the crown based on early evidence. They fell only 11 short while chasing 243 against the Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad. However, they bounced back with three consecutive wins, with Mohammed Siraj, R Sai Kishore, Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill playing crucial roles.
