The Royals are coming off a week-long break and face another extended gap after this match, raising concerns about rhythm and momentum. Their bowling attack, apart from Jofra Archer, has struggled recently, especially after failing to defend totals of over 225 in Jaipur. Questions also remain over Dhruv Jurel’s effectiveness at No. 3 against spin bowling.
Meanwhile, GT arrive with confidence after winning three matches in a row. Their recent success has been built around disciplined bowling, early wickets with the new ball, and controlled middle overs, allowing their batting lineup to chase manageable totals.
The Titans will also be wary of this fixture, as it was against them last season that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi grabbed attention with a sensational 35-ball century.
