IPL 2025: 3 Key battles to watch out for in the RR vs GT Match 47

The clashes between the Rajasthan Royals and the Gujarat Titans are a high-voltage affair. The two teams are all set to face each other again this season. Apart from the team battles, certain key battles might turn out quite interesting. Here is a list of three such possible battles.

Jos Buttler vs Jofra Archer

Buttler has been the mainstay of the Gujarat Titans so far this season, scoring the bulk of the runs and at a phenomenal strike rate. Jofra Archer, on the other hand, had not started the season too well but has been on the rise ever since and seems to be in good form currently.

The battle between the two seems to have been won by Buttler so far, having scored 96 runs off 51 balls with the help of 14 boundaries and three sixes. He has lost his wicket just twice in this period.

Shubman Gill vs Sandeep Sharma

With his reliable efforts, Shubhman Gill has earned the post of captain for the Gujarat team, which he was named in the previous season. Conversely, Sandeep Sharma has been quietly performing his duties and is among the nation's most underappreciated bowlers.

Of the two, Sandeep has become the more powerful one. He has bowled 32 deliveries to him, getting him out once and conceding only 21 runs. He's been doing a great job of keeping Gill quiet. The pair didn't play against one another in the last match.

Riyan Parag vs Rashid Khan

Due to Samson's injury, Riyan Parag has once again been named Rajasthan's interim captain. Despite this, he hasn't been able to make a significant contribution to the team thus far. Although he hasn't been able to use the ball as effectively as he once could, Rashid Khan has been a crucial part of his team's setup.

In five innings of play against Rashid, Parag has been out to him twice and managed just 24 runs at a strike rate of 85.71 off of 28 deliveries from Rashid. To make a comeback in this game, he will need to keep these statistics in mind.
