The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Rajasthan has traditionally supported spin bowling. The ball might do a little bit for the fast bowlers in the initial stages of the match as well, but it will get easier to bat as the match progresses.
Rajasthan Royals will take on Gujarat Titans in the 48th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League. Led by Sanju Samson, RR started their season brilliantly. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal have done the bulk of the scoring for the team. Rajasthan’s bowling has been fantastic right from the get-go, Trent Boult has do well with the new ball, while Yuzvendra Chahal has been the pick of the spinner bowlers. RR are coming into this game on the back of a loss and will be looking to re-gain the winning momentum.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans had an excellent start to their IPL 2023 campaign, they are the defending champions and haven’t continued from where they left off last season. Shubman Gill, David Miller, and Vijay Shankar have been in some tremendous form. Wriddhiman Saha has blown hot and cold this season. Mohammed Shami has been bowling tremendously for GT. Rashid Khan may have gone for runs on odd days but has been among wickets. Joshua Little and Mohit Sharma have been very effective as well.

The batters need to get their eye in before going for the aggressive shots, they can take advantage of the short boundaries at this venue. The team winning the toss would be inclined to bowl first at this venue and chase the score down in the second innings with some dew expected.
