Gujarat Titans (GT) have the chance to go back to the top of the table against struggling Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 47th match of IPL 2025. GT have been a consistent force, winning six of their eight games to sit comfortably in the top two despite playing fewer games than every other team so far.
With six wins in their past seven games, including a thumping 58-run win over RR on April 9, this looks a golden opportunity for GT to keep the run going. However, RR have shown that they can compete, but getting over the line has proven to be their biggest issue, failing to seal numerous run chases they were in control of.
Last game, RR were on track for victory against RCB, before the spinners and Josh Hazlewood got the better of the them. With just four points from nine games, RR need nothing short of a miracle to qualify for the playoffs, with a 100% win record from here the absolute minimum required to give themselves a chance.
In this article, we will look at the possible playing XIIs, Jaipur pitch report, fantasy cricket tips and Dream11 prediction for the 47th match of IPL 2025.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium Jaipur Pitch Report and Weather
The Jaipur track has something in it for the bowlers, especially for teams who field first. The surfaces have taken turn and been slightly two-paced on occasion. Chasing will be the way to go with the chasing teams winning four of the past seven matches here.
The average first innings score in these seven matches is 184. A similar score can be expected, with middle overs bowling key in restricting the scoring.
Another very hot evening is forecast after temperatures cross 40 degrees during the day.
Fantasy Cricket Tips for RR vs GT: Top Picks/Key Players to Watch
Top wicket-keeper picks:
- Jos Buttler is a must in your fantasy cricket teams. The former RR opener has been in outstanding form, thumping 97* and 41* in his past two matches.
- Buttler has an average of 48 strike rate of 188.2 against Jofra Archer in all T20s (51 balls, 96 runs, two wickets).
Key batter picks:
- Yashasvi Jaiswal has provided superb starts in the powerplay in recent games. The left-hander has struck four half-centuries and a 49 in his past six matches.
- Sai Sudharsan is a consistent force. He has the third-most runs in IPL 2025 with 417 at an average of 52.12 and strike rate of 152.18. He was man of the match against RR earlier this season with 82 (53).
- Shubman Gill, who scores 90 in his last match, has two fifties in five innings at Jaipur. He averages 59.33 overall here. He needs to overcome his poor matchup against Jofra Archer (see below).
Top all-rounder picks:
- Despite his disappointing season, Riyan Parag remains the top all-rounder pick in Dream11 for this match. He has made plenty of starts this season, with seven 20+ scores in nine games. He has crossed 40 just once, but the starts and the fact he fields in hot spot positions can fetch you fantasy points.
Key bowler picks:
- Prasidh Krishna is in top form. He is the second-highest wicket-taker this season with 16. His bowling in the middle overs has been superb and will target a shaky RR middle order. He took 3/24 against RR earlier in IPL 2025.
- RR are relying a lot on Jofra Archer. He is a must-pick in fantasy cricket. He has dismissed Shubman Gill three times for 10 runs in 15 balls.
- R Sai Kishore can be tricky to face on the Jaipur track. RR have struggled against spin at certain stages.
Other Players to Consider for your Fantasy Cricket Teams

- Rashid Khan is slowly getting back to his usual self. He has taken at least one wicket in three of his past four matches.
