Upbeat Gujarat Titans will look to maintain the winning streak when they host Rajasthan Royals in match 23 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday (April 9).
Shubman Gill’s GT head into the match on the back of a hattrick of wins with their latest result being a commanding 7-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their own backyard – Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, where the visitors chased down 154 in 16.4 overs.

Sanju Samson-led RR, on the other hand, rebounded from two successive defeats with impressive back-to-back wins with their latest success coming away to Punjab Kings – a 50-run victory at the New PCA Stadium in Mullanpur, where the Royals defended 205.
Now, the two former champions will aim for wins when they clash only for the seventh time in the IPL, and also meet for the third time at the Ahmedabad venue. Here is a look at the GT vs RR head to head record, stats followed by Narendra Modi Stadium numbers:
