RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 48 | RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Jaipur Pitch Report

The 2022 finalists have visions of reaching the business end of the tournament once again. However, both Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) must beware of looking to far ahead given there is a logjam of teams just behind them in what has been a riveting, captivating IPL 2023 tournament.

GT come into this match wondering how they didn’t win their last. They had bottom-placed Delhi Capitals on the ropes in the powerplay but somehow lost, thus not nailing down their top spot as they should have. Here is their chance to do just that, with the batsmen tasked with better supporting their high-performing bowling attack.

RR also need to win; more so than GT. Sanju Samson’s team has lost three of their past four matches to sit precariously in fourth place, equal with fifth-placed RCB, sixth-placed MI and seventh-placed PBKS. Last time out, they looked set for victory against Mumbai Indians, before Tim David had other ideas to expose the pieces still missing to fully round out the RR attack.

Worryingly for RR, the likes of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder and Yuzvendra Chahal have been short of their best form in recent matches. The time to deliver is now to keep their top four position intact.

Will the Royals stick with Jason Holder? Also, they have a call to make on Devdutt Padikkal who has largely been ineffective outside of the top three.

IPL 2023 48th match RR vs GT Fantasy tips: Key players to watch & stats

Rajasthan Royals:

• Jos Buttler is seeking a big knock. In four innings against GT, Buttler has struck 182 runs at an average of 45.50 and strike rate of 151.67.
• Buttler also has an excellent record at this ground: 12 inns, 501 runs, avg. 50.10, SR 137.26.
• Yashasvi Jaiswal is in magnificent touch. He is coming off a superb 124* against the MI – one of the great IPL knocks by a young player.
• Sanju Samson is also in need of a lift. He smashed 60 off 32 in a vital knock against GT earlier this season, where he took the great Rashid Khan apart.
• Overall in the IPL, Samson has scored 109 off 92 against Rashid (one dismissal).
• Trent Boult has taken at least one wicket in all but one of his matches so far in IPL 2023. He has largely kept Shubman Gill quiet in the IPL (46 balls, 47 runs, one dismissal) and has dismissed Wriddhiman Saha three times in 22 balls (22 runs).
• R Ashwin has taken ten wickets in nine matches on this ground at an economy of 7.54 and strike rate of 16.80. However, the offspinner is wicketless in four innings so far against the Titans.

Gujarat Titans:

• Since the start of 2022, Shubman Gill has scored 138 runs in four innings against RR (avg. 46.00, SR 123.21).
• If Gill gets through the powerplay, watch out. He has excellent numbers against Ashwin (58 balls, 95 runs, no dismissals) and has been decent against Chahal (35 balls, 38 runs, one dismissal).
• Hardik Pandya has both the most runs (189) and wickets (6) in RR-GT matches. In fact, Pandya averages 94.50 and strikes at 147.66 with the bat against RR since the start of 2022.
• Expect Hardik to test Jaiswal with hard lengths in the powerplay. The GT captain dismissed the RR opener earlier this season.
• Since the start of last season, David Miller has smashed 177 runs at an average of 177.00 and strike rate of 175.25 against RR.
• Miller has never been dismissed by Boult in T20s (25 balls, 34 runs). Also, he has scored 151 off 108 balls in all T20s against Ashwin (three dismissals) and 96 off 52 against Chahal (three dismissals).
• Mohammed Shami was out of this world in the powerplay against DC. He dismissed Jos Buttler for a duck earlier this season – watch out for the nip-backer into Buttler early on.
• Rashid Khan has dominated Jos Buttler in T20 cricket. In 72 deliveries, the legspinner has conceded just 50 runs and dismissed the Englishman four times.
