Gujarat Titans
Since GT joined the Indian Premier League as a new franchise in 2022, they have met eight times.

History of RR vs GT
Gujarat Titans have held an overwhelming advantage against Rajasthan Royals this season in terms of head-to-head records. GT’s Pink Castle fortress has provided them with nearly 80% wins against RR at home; however, RR have made an impressive comeback and ended their hoodoo against GT with some stunning performances this year – such as Sanju Samson’s aggressive batting style or Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 14 year old prodigy debutant status becoming a formidable threat this year.
The 2025 matchup at Sawai Mansingh Stadium between these teams attracted much attention throughout IPL history, shifting the narrative away from its previous pattern of predictable dominance to ancient unpredictability.
Both teams entered with distinct objectives: Titans led by Shubman Gill were looking to regain their title after suffering through a string of losses while Jofra Archer-coached RR were hoping to break through their group-hoodoo.
Both teams put on an exciting display in the opening innings. Shubman Gill scored an outstanding captain’s knock of 84 off 50 balls while Jos Buttler made his presence felt with an unbeaten 50 off 26 deliveries to help GT reach 209/4.
Chasing 218 would prove difficult for RR. Even with Shimron Hetmyer’s combative 52 and Sanju Samson’s brief 41, their middle order collapsed under Prasidh Krishna (3/24) and Rashid Khan’s spin wizardry (3/24). As such, GT was easily victorious – bowling out RR for just 159 and giving themselves an easy win.
Rajasthan Royals batsmen outshone themselves once more during the second innings with an outstanding performance that saw them chase down their target in just 16 overs.
Riyan Parag’s 48-ball 76 for Rajasthan Royals set an IPL century scoring record and was supported by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ajinkya Rahane’s runs; these runs brought back memories of their best days under Rahul Tripathi as captain; it marked his return and made this match-up an exciting affair from start-finish.
