On Wednesday, Gujarat Titans will cross swords against Rajasthan Royals in match 24 of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. 

Led by Shubman Gill, the Titans have blown hot and cold in the IPL 2024, securing only two wins in five group-stage appearances. On the contrary, Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals have been ruthless in the competition, occupying the top spot with four successive victories. 

Considering both teams have some outright match-winners in their squad, we expect them to enthral the fans with a nerve-wrecking thriller. 

So, as both teams gear up to take on each other, let's analyse and find out the top five player battles which can decide the game's outcome. 

Jos Buttler vs Rashid Khan

Swashbuckling English batter Jos Buttler had a memorable outing in the Royals' previous match against RCB, hammering a scintillating ton during the run-chase. 

However, the experienced campaigner could find it tricky to face GT's ace spinner Rashid Khan, who has dismissed him four times in T20s.

Gujarat Titans' skipper Shubman Gill recently regained his mojo, scoring a quick-fire 48-ball 89* against Punjab Kings. 

The stylish right-handed batter could have a tough time against Avesh Khan, who has got him twice in T20 cricket.

Rajasthan Royals' skipper Sanju Samson is in sublime form, amassing two half centuries in four outings. 

The explosive batter has an interesting match-up against Umesh Yadav, who has dismissed him thrice conceding 101 runs.

Veteran New Zealand batter Kane Williamson recorded a rare failure with the bat in GT's previous game against LSG, being dismissed for a solitary run. 

His on-field battle with RR's premier spinner Yuzvendra Chahal could be interesting, as the wily tweaker has got rid of him three times in the shortest format.

Riyan Parag vs Rashid Khan

Assam's young middle order batter Riyan Parag has been prolific in the IPL this season, amassing 185 runs at an average of 92.50 and a blistering strike rate of 158.12. 

However, the Titans could use Rashid Khan to neutralise him in this game, as the Afghan maestro has got him twice in 13 balls.
