Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals Betting Tips - Royals backed in IPL playoff
The upcoming IPL clash sees Gujarat Titans, who have recently lost momentum, taking on the in-form Rajasthan Royals. Royals’ top batsmen, especially Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel, have powered them to strong wins, while Archer remains a key wicket-taker. The Titans' success depends on early breakthroughs by Rabada, Siraj, and Rashid Khan. With the Mullanpur pitch favoring high scoring and the Royals having an unbeaten record at the venue, they are tipped as favorites. Key recommendations: back the Royals, watch for Sooryavanshi and Rabada’s performance.
- Rajasthan Royals in strong form with unbeaten record at Mullanpur.
- Key players: Sooryavanshi (runs), Jurel, Archer (wickets); Titans rely on bowlers like Rabada.
- Royals are backed to win; expect high scores on a batting-friendly pitch.
The Titans were in great form a few games ago but have hit a bump in the road, losing to the Knight Riders before being thrashed by the Royal Challengers in the qualifier a couple of days ago. The Royals on the other hand had a poor mid-season, but started and ended in superb fashion.

Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals Predicted Lineups & News
Gujarat Titans: The Titans’ top order has been superbly consistent this season, but it’s their fiery bowling trio of Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Rashid Khan who they hope will give them the upper hand by knocking over the dangerous Royals top order. If they don’t make early inroads they can expect their opponents to rack up another huge score.
Possible XI: Sai Sudarshan, Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler, Nishant Sindhu, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Kulwant Khejroliya.
Rajasthan Royals: The Royals have the leading run-scorer (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) and the 11th top run-scorer (Dhruv Jurel), and with batting support from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Donovan Ferreira they will be hard to beat if they get off to another flying start.
Possible XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag (c), Donovan Ferreira, Dasun Shanaka, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Brijesh Sharma, Yash Raj Punja.
Titans vs Royals IPL Match Analysis
The Royals have won all of their previous matches at this stadium and they enjoyed a powerful 47-run win over the Sunrisers two days ago at the stadium in New Chandigarh after posting a monster score of 243/8 off their 20 overs. The Sunrisers could only manage 196 all out off 19.2 overs after their reliable top-order fell in pursuit of a quick start to try and match the Royals’ score in what was a knock-out clash.
The pitch at Mullanpur should again offer something for batters and bowlers, as there is sure to be consistent pace and bounce for the bowlers and with some early movement off the seam, but at the ball loses shine and some shape it should serve up a runs feast.
Both sides have powerful pacemen who will look to roll over the opposition’s top four, all of whom have been in the runs. Sides are averaging a phenomenal 215 runs in the first innings this season in New Chandigarh, so we should be in for another batting bonanza.
Weather reports for the day suggest that we’ll be in for another hot and sunny day with temperatures hitting as high as 40°C before dipping down to around 28°C late in the day. Some cloud is expected and possibly even a few brief showers leading up to the match.
Verdict
The Rajasthan Royals are backed to win, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi likely to be the Royals’ best batter.
Dhruv Jurel is my pick to score 30 runs or more, with Kagiso Rabada backed to take two wickets or more in the match.
