RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction

RR vs GT Match Preview

Rajasthan's poor run in the last few games can be attributed to the dip in the form of its top-order batsmen, Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson. Buttler started well but has been found struggling in his last few outings, while Samson hasn’t been able to fire. Both batters need to readjust their playing tempo a bit and just take a couple of deliveries before really going hard at the opposition.

Shimron Hetmeyer, who was instrumental in leading the team to some good finishes has been dismissed for single-digit scores in his last 4 innings. As the wickets become a bit slower, Hetmyer may find himself struggling and that is somehting to consider for sure.

There are some silver linings for RR though as Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a brilliant century in the last game and has moved to the second spot in the race for the Orange Cap. His imrovement, season to season, has been remarkable and he is now perhaps the most crucial player in the lineup.

Dhruv Jurel has been a good find for the team and will play a key role in the upcoming matches. A lower-order finisher is rae and his ability to clear the boundaries from the start is invaluable. The Royals have a well-balanced bowling attack consisting of quality spinners as well as seamers.

Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma are once again expected to lead the pace attack, while Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal will be looking to dry up the runs during the middle overs. The surfaces at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium have been a bit slow and so RR may opt to include Adam Zampa once more.

Chasing a modest target of 131 runs against an under-confident Delhi Capitals, it was a rare misfire by the batsmen as the hosts ultimately fell short by 5 runs.

This was only the second loss that GT has suffered while chasing in its relatively short IPL history.

The Titans will be looking to look at the positives from that match. Hardik Pandya scored his second half-century of the season and Mohammed Shami was unplayable at times. The latter picked up 4 wickets in the game and is now the joint-highest wicket-taker in the season. Of course, Pandya would have liked to finish off the game and his lack of power-hitting seems to be a bigger issue than it first appeared to be.

Talking about the upcoming match, Shubhman Gill will be the key batsman for the team and they will need him to play a big inning here. Vijay Shankar and Sai Sudharsan have played well in patches but the form of Wriddhiman Saha and David Miller remains a bit of a concern for the team.

Is it time for GT to bring back Sai Sudharsan into the lineup and move Pandya down a bit? Pandya and Shankar are excellent spin-hitters and could be crucial in this match against RR where they will be attacked with a lot of high-quality spin.

Mohammed Shami and Josh Little are expected to start with the new ball, while Mohit Sharma will show his skills at the death. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed are the two specialist spinners on the team. GT's bowling is varied and has a lot of depth.
