New Delhi: The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League is in full flow, and the teams have started to strengthen their positions on the points table. The match number 23 in the IPL 2025 would witness two in-form teams lock horns against each other. Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 9th April 2025.
Gujarat Titans are in red-hot form currently. In their previous encounter against SRH, they secured a dominant 7-wicket victory with 20 balls to spare while chasing a target of 153 and now have 3 wins in four matches so far this season. GT are heavily dependent on their top 3, but Sai Sudarshan and Jos Buttler being in good form augurs well for them.
The bowling unit led by Mohammad Siraj has also clicked so far with Sai Kishore, Siraj and Prasidh Krishna all in form. Siraj has earned the Player of the Match award twice in GT’s three wins, while Prasidh won it in their victory against the Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals, who started their campaign with two consecutive losses, have bounced back with two consecutive wins.
Captain Sanju Samson marked his return in the previous match against PBKS with a commanding 50-run victory. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal also returned to form with a brilliant knock of 67 runs. The middle order, featuring Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, and Samson himself, has been consistently delivering quick and fiery cameos, keeping the momentum alive through the middle overs.
On the bowling front, Jofra Archer has found his rhythm and is consistently providing early breakthroughs for RR. Leg spinner Wanindu Hasaranga is also in a good form as he was on the wickets tally with a four-wicket haul against CSK. Since both the teams are flying high all eyes will be on who will emerge victorious in this encounter? Can GT make it four wins in a row or will the Royals be successful in grabbing an away win?

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report and Weather Forecast
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has hosted two games in IPL 2025 so far. Two different pitches have been used in both games. The first game was played on a red-soil surface, where Punjab Kings smashed 243/5, batting first before the Gujarat Titans almost chased it down. They were eventually restricted to 232/5.
The second IPL 2025 game hosted by the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was played on a black soil wicket, which provided some assistance to the bowlers. In that game too Gujarat Titans almost scored 200, falling just 4 runs short in the end. If a similar pitch is used, the pitch will favour bowlers with pace variations. But expect runs at the venue because of the smaller boundaries.
A score between 180 and 190 in the first innings can be defendable on the black soil pitch. In case if red soil wicket is used, a score around 210-220 will be a winning total.
The temperature in Ahmedabad will be around 40 degrees Celsius at the beginning of the match and will drop to 34 degrees Celsius towards the end. The humidity is predicted to be in the range of 12% to 15% during the match hours. The sky will be clear, and there are 0% chance of rain hampering the proceedings.
Both Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will be looking to continue their winning run when they lock horns in a blockbuster clash in the IPL 2025 on Wednesday.
