IPL 2025 Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Gujarat Titans (GT) Best Playing 11 and Match 47 Preview

Rajasthan Royals face a must-win encounter in our RR vs GT match 47 best playing 11 for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 

It’s match number 47 of the TATA IPL 2025, and we have two contrasting teams taking on each other. On one hand, we have the Rajasthan Royals team, who are currently lying in the bottom of the points table with 2 wins from 9 games. Whereas on the other hand, we have the Gujarat Titans team, who are currently at the top of the points table with 6 wins from 8 games. While RR are facing a must-win scenario, Gujarat Titans with a win will be looking to inch closer to the Playoffs.

Talking about the Rajasthan Royals team, nothing has worked for them this season so far. Be it their batting, bowling, or fielding, RR has failed in every direction possible. However, amidst the redlines in the team, the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, and Jofra Archer has been a silver lining for them. All three have performed above their weights so far, but the lack of contribution from the other players has majorly hurt them.

But all is not lost for Rajasthan Royals as yet. The team may be strangling in 9th position with 2 wins from 9 games, if they win all 5 matches from here, the team will be in contention for the Playoffs. 5 wins from here will take them to 14 points, and that means, they could still be in contention, but mathematically. Whatever the case, RR should either play for pride, irrespective of where they end up from here. 

Contrasting Teams – RR vs GT 

The Gujarat Titans team on the other hand, has had a stunning IPL so far. The team has won 6 wins from 8 games, and they would like to continue their winning momentum. It is not like Gujarat Titans have a perfect team this season. But rarely have they been tested on their weakness so far. The team has one of the weakest middle-order in the competition, but their top-order is the best in the tournament, and given that this top-order has rarely failed, their middle-order is rarely tested. 

However, there could be that one or two matches where the top-order might fail. But when will these matches occur is something which no one knows. But the GT team will still need to prepared for such situations, and the likes of Washington Sudar, Shahrukh Khan, Sherfane Rutherford, and Rahul Tewatia will need to prepare themselves for such situations. That will be the real test of the team this season. Other than this, the team looks all set to qualify for the Playoffs.

Best Impact Player: Shubham Dubey

The Rajasthan Royals team was once again without their Captain and leader Sanju Samson for the important clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. It is not clear whether Sanju has recovered, but given the match is just 2 days away, it looks unlikely that Sanju must have recovered. So, in Sanju’s absence, Vaibhav Suryavanshi should continue to be the second opener for the team. 

The team may also think of dropping Tushar Deshpande, and bringing in Akash Madhwal. Tushar has had a disappointing IPL so far, and in even in the previous match, he gave runs in plenty. So, after persisting with the pacer for almost 9 matches, it feels RR may move on from the pacer. Moreover, Akash is a good bowler, and has also done well for MI in the previous seasons. Other than this, all RR need right now is an improved performance from their players to be able to be more competitive.

The Gujarat Titans team has seldom made many changes to their playing 11, and it feels like they will continue with the same playing 11 that played in the last game. The only debatable option will be to bring in Arshad Khan for Ishant Sharma to give more batting depth. But given GT’s stable batting performance so far, that move looks unlikely. So, expect GT to continue with the same winning combination as we saw in the last match.
