Rajasthan Royals will challenge Gujarat Titans for the top spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday.

RR have ample talent but has been unable to hold on to a winning run recently. However, they can take a bit of solace from the fact that they emerged victorious earlier in the season against GT.

The Sanju Samson-led side has lost three games and won as many in their first six fixtures of IPL 2023. Rajasthan have the firepower in their batting line-up to pile up runs.

Young Yashasvi Jaiswal is enjoying a fine run but the team needs the trio of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer to fire.
