RR vs GT Match Preview – IPL 2024, Match 24
Rajasthan Royals
The Rajasthan Royals approach this match following their recent triumph against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Remarkably, they remain the only undefeated team in the tournament, showcasing a well-balanced line-up in both batting and bowling departments.
Despite not all their batters hitting top form, the Royals have managed to win all four of their matches so far. Yashasvi Jaiswal is yet to find his rhythm, but Jos Buttler displayed his form in the last game.
The Royals’ bowling attack has been formidable, with Trent Boult consistently picking up wickets in every game. Meanwhile, the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal has been outstanding, arguably the best in the tournament. They have not only been economical but have also consistently broken partnerships at crucial moments in the matches.

Gujarat Titans
The GT side’s morale has taken a hit with back-to-back defeats against Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. With only two wins out of five games, they are facing challenges, particularly in the batting department.
They have been reliant on their top order with significant pressure on skipper Shubman Gill to score runs. The absence of Miller has weakened their middle order. With the ball, Mohit Sharma was expensive in the last game, and despite a good start from Umesh Yadav, the spinners couldn’t capitalise on it. Both teams will be eager to secure the 2 points.
