On Monday, April 28, the inaugural title winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) are taking on Gujarat Titans (GT) in match number 47 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. However, both teams are coming into this fixture on the back of contrasting results, the Riyan Parag-led side will be hoping to get a win tonight in order to stay alive in the competition.
As the two skippers walked out for toss, it was RR skipper, Riyan Parag, who won the toss and decided field first. “We'll bowl first. Pretty similar wicket to the one we played against LSG. Should be a good wicket, some low bounce, saw some dew last night so bowling first,” Parag said.

After his decision to bowl first, Parag was inquired of the team combination. The stand-in skipper said, “Two changes, Farooqi goes out, Theekshana comes in. Tushar goes out and Yudhvir comes in.” On the other hand, Shubman Gill also called for a change in their playing XI as GT handed a debut to Karim Janat, who came in place of Sherfane Rutherford.
