Rajasthan vs Gujarat on April 28

Gujarat Titans are having a stunning season after the debacle last year. They have won six out of their first eight games and are well on course to reach the playoffs. Shubman Gill has led the team from the front. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have also scored runs consistently. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna is leading the charts for top wicket-takers in the season, while Mohammad Siraj is also in excellent form. Gujarat are coming into this clash on the back of a 39-run win against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are having a forgettable campaign. They are languishing at No. 9 on the points table, with two wins and seven defeats after playing nine matches. Riyan Parag has led the team in five matches in the absence of Sanju Samson, and the inaugural champions have suffered four defeats under the Assam all-rounder. The side has lost matches from winning positions, especially while chasing, which is a concern. In their last encounter, they failed to score 18 runs off the last two overs with five wickets remaining at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. While the Royals have a mathematical chance to reach the playoffs, they would want to focus on one game at a time now.

Best economical pick – Prasidh Krishna has accounted for 16 wickets from eight matches in IPL 2025. He is averaging 14.12 and has a strike rate of 11.61. His economy rate is 7.29, which is commendable for someone who bowls in the powerplay and also at the death. Prasidh's four-over spell is going to be crucial for the Titans on Monday, and RR batters will have to tackle him tactically.

Top captains & vice captains – Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the batting and scored 435 runs in 15 matches in the previous edition. He will be a good captaincy pick for this match. Sai Sudharsan has been the most consistent batter in the tournament. He is currently holding the IPL Orange Cap, having amassed 417 runs from eight innings at an astonishing average of 52.12 and a strike-rate of 152.19. He has registered five half-centuries already. The Southpaw from Tamil Nadu will look to make an impact once again on Monday, taking on the RR challenge. 

Smart pick – Jos Buttler has scored 356 runs in eight matches so far this season and will be a top pick against this opposition.

Cautious Pick – Rahul Tewatia’s performance in IPL 2025 so far has been underwhelming, with only 41 runs across seven matches, including two run-outs and three ducks, though he did play a crucial cameo of 24* off 12 balls against Rajasthan Royals and a quick 11 off 3 balls against Delhi Capitals. He has not contributed with the ball this season, and his role as a finisher has been limited due to the Gujarat Titans’ strong top order, making his fantasy value inconsistent and risky at this stage.

My XI – Yashasvi Jaiswal (Captain), Sai Sudharsan  (Vice-Captain), Jos Buttler, Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Rana, Jofra Archer, Shubman Gill, Sherfane Rutherford, R Sai Kishore, Riyan Parag, Vaibhav Suryavanshi
