As Gujarat Titans will take on the Rajasthan Royals in the 23rd match of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, three batters stand out as the most likely to dominate the scoring charts.

1. Shubman Gill (GT)

One of the brightest young talents in Indian cricket, Shubman Gill is a right-handed opening batter with immense promise. Gill’s leadership skills were also evident in IPL 2024 when he captained GT.

  • Head-to-Head Performance: Strong record against RR, has scored 246 runs at an average of 49.20 against Rajasthan in IPL matches.
  • Home Ground Advantage: Has an exceptional record at Narendra Modi Stadium with 856 runs at a strike rate of 163.67
  • IPL 2025 Form: He has scored 146 runs in 4 matches with a strike rate of 148.98 so far in this competition.
  • Top Order Advantage: He will be opening the innings and his ability to play long innings makes him the backbone of GT's batting lineup.

2. Sanju Samson (RR)

The wicketkeeper-batter from Kerala, Sanju Samson is a tough campaigner. Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju will look to continue to lead from the front and bring Rajasthan their second IPL trophy.

  • Head-to-Head Performance: Has dominated Gujarat Titans bowlers with 158 runs at a strike rate of 166.32 in head-to-head matches.

  • Technical Versatility: Shows particular strength against Rashid Khan (184.21 strike rate without being dismissed).

3. Sai Sudharsan (GT)

A rising left-handed batter from Tamil Nadu, Sai Sudharsan played a key role in GT’s IPL 2022 title win and later showcased his immense potential.  His aggressive mindset and remarkable consistency make him a significant threat in the upcoming fixture.

  • Home Ground Advantage: Has amassed 603 runs at Narendra Modi Stadium with a strike rate of 148.16
  • Technical Versatility: His left-handed technique provides stability and consistency to the GT lineup and has shown ability to accelerate in the middle overs, making him dangerous once set.
  • IPL 2025 Form: He has scored 191 runs in 4 matches with a strike rate of 150.39 so far in this competition.

These three batters have consistently performed well in this matchup and at this venue, making them the most likely candidates to top the scoring charts in the upcoming game.
