In the 23rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Gujarat Titans will take on Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday. Rajasthan will be playing their 5th match of the season, having won two and lost two matches so far. The Rajasthan Royals will be coming in with confidence, as they have won their last two encounters.
Rajasthan Royals to go with the same XI
Rajasthan Royals are likely to go with the same playing XI, as this lineup has worked for them in the last two encounters. They have won the matches with a blend of experience and youth. Sanju Samson will be leading the team, with Yashasvi Jaiswal coming in at number 2, Nitish Rana at number 3, and Shimron Hetmyer having the opportunity to capitalise in the death overs. The team will also feature spinners in the playing XI.
Who Will Come as Impact sub?
If Rajasthan Royals bat first, then Sandeep Sharma is likely to come in as the impact sub for the team. Sandeep has performed really well and delivered in tight situations, providing Rajasthan with four pacers in the playing XI. If Rajasthan bat second, then Nitish Rana is likely to come in as the impact sub for the team.
