The stage is set for the clash of two strong teams as the Gujarat Titans will take on the Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. The two teams are coming on the back of stunning victories in their last matches and will be eager to continue the winning streak.

One key player for the Rajasthan Royals will be thei captain, Sanju Samson. The skipper of the team is coming after an injury and RR will heavily rely on his batting for a comfortable win and here's why.

Excellent record against GT

Sanju Samson has had a stellar IPL career so far and his track record against the GT bowlers is also exceptional. Time and again he has delivered the goods against them and the stats tells the story.

As the numbers tell the story, in 6 matches, he has 230 runs against GT and has scored them at a healthy strike-rate of 166.67. For his sheer amount of runs against them, Samson will once again hold the key for RR.

Is due for a big score

4 matches, 137 runs, with a highest score of 66, Samson has started his IPL 2025 season with good amount of runs, but is actually due for a big one. So far, he hasn't looked at his fluent best and it could partially be due to the index finger injury he was playing with.

However, he is now fit and is raring to go against one of his favourite opponent. Normally, by now Samson always scores those big 80s and 90s in the IPL, but that hasn't come yet. A fully-fit Samson could break the shackles and could demolish the Gujarat Titans bowlers tonight.
