Rajasthan Royals Win Toss and Opt to Bat Against Gujarat Titans

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bat first against Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday during their IPL 2023 encounter.

Sanju Samson’s RR had to endure a defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians, despite the valiant century of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, in their last outing as they lost by 6 wickets following some brilliant batting display from MI’s Suryakumar Yadav and Tim David, which took the game away from the side from Jaipur.

RR, the champions of the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League, head into the GT encounter from position four in the table with 10 points from 9 outings this season and are ahead of three other teams chasing them by virtue of net run rate.

They will look to get on the winning track in their own backyard. But, it is a task easier said than done against the holders.

GT also are coming into the game after a shock loss to bottom-placed Delhi Capitals in their previous fixture, as the capital city team took the point with their 5 run win against the defending champions.
