GT vs RR LIVE Score, IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans have climbed to the top of the Points Table with four consecutive wins after humbling Rajasthan Royals by 58 runs. Sai Sudharshan’s 82-run knock powered Gujarat Titans to 217/6 in 20 overs after being sent to bat. Jos Buttler and Shahrukh Khan also made valuable contributions before Rahul Tewatia’s impactful knock of 12-ball 24. Jofra Archer bowled a fiery first spell, dismissing Shubman Gill in the 3rd over. But other than that, RR bowlers did not have luck on their side. Rajasthan struggled throughout the chase. Shimron Hetmyer and Sanju Samson offered some resistance. But other than that, there was no meaningful contribution as RR folded for 159.
Gujarat Titans were asked to bat first in Ahmedabad after Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl first. RR are without Wanindu Hasaranga who misses out due to personal reasons.

GT vs RR Match Preview
The Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, face off against Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals in Match 23 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. GT comes into this game riding a three-match winning streak after an initial loss, sitting second on the points table with 6 points. Their recent form has been bolstered by a commanding win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, where Mohammed Siraj’s 4-wicket haul and Gill’s unbeaten fifty showcased their depth.
RR, meanwhile, has recovered from a shaky start (two losses) with back-to-back victories, including a 50-run thrashing of Punjab Kings, thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 67 and Jofra Archer’s 3/25. Currently seventh with 4 points, RR aims to climb the standings. Both teams have bowling concerns—GT’s Rashid Khan has been expensive, and RR’s spinners have been inconsistent—but their batting firepower promises a high-scoring thriller on Ahmedabad’s flat track. With the IPL overlapping with PSL 2025, player fatigue and availability could play a subtle role.
Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch is a batsman’s paradise, offering true bounce and minimal assistance to bowlers early on. The average first-innings score here in IPL 2025 is around 180, with two high-scoring games already this season (e.g., Punjab Kings’ 243/5 vs GT). As the match progresses, the surface slows slightly, bringing spinners like Rashid Khan and Wanindu Hasaranga into play. Teams batting first have won 17 of 38 IPL matches at this venue, while chasing sides have triumphed 20 times. Expect another run-fest tonight unless dew significantly aids the chasing team.
