Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will clash in Match 23 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This is a rematch of the 2022 IPL final and features two of the most complete bowling attacks in the tournament this season.
GT came into the fixture with three straight wins, and their top-order and bowling unit clicked consistently. RR, after a poor start, have bounced back with solid performances from their overseas stars and an increasingly sharp bowling unit led by Jofra Archer. Conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium continue to challenge both bat and ball, with dew, soil type, and new ball swing all playing key roles. Expect a tactical battle under lights.

GT vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Team
Wicketkeepers
Jos Buttler (GT) – Has a hundred and a fifty in five games at this venue. No real negative matchup vs RR bowlers. (C/VC pick) Sanju Samson (RR) – Could cash in if he gets past Siraj. Records here are mixed.Batters
Shubman Gill (GT) – Matchup with Jofra Archer is tricky (9 runs in 13 balls, 2 dismissals). Could be subdued if GT bat second. Still a strong choice if he survives the new ball. (C/VC pick) Sai Sudharsan (GT) – Consistent at home, though hasn’t faced Archer before. Anchors well, rotates strike. (C/VC pick) Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR) – Struggled earlier this season but back among the runs. Poor record at this ground, though.All-rounders
R Sai Kishore (GT) – Bowling with immense control and bite. Outperforming Rashid in every game. Riyan Parag (RR) – Keeps finding starts. Could be a key contributor again. Wanindu Hasaranga (RR) – Tough venue for spinners, but good matchups vs GT batters.Bowlers
Mohammed Siraj (GT) – Impactful on black soil pitches. Strong matchups, especially vs Samson. (C/VC pick) Prasidh Krishna (GT) – Excellent middle and death-over bowler. Wickets + economy potential. Jofra Archer (RR) – New-ball menace. If RR bowl second, his fantasy upside increases. (C/VC pick)Captain & Vice-Captain Picks: Fantasy Tips
Jos Buttler (GT) – Best numbers at this venue among all batters. No negative matchups. Shubman Gill (GT) – Venue specialist but needs to get past Archer. Best picked if GT bat first. Mohammed Siraj (GT) – If black soil pitch is confirmed, his new ball threat could be decisive. Jofra Archer (RR) – Formidable with the new ball, can take out GT’s top-order.GT vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Ahmedabad Pitch Report & IPL 2025 Live Streaming Inside Sport India.
