RR vs GT Match Overview

Rajasthan Royals will welcome Gujarat Titans in an Indian Premier League 2025 match in Jaipur on Monday.

Gujarat Titans are having a stunning season after the debacle last year. They have won six out of their first eight games and are well on course to reach the playoffs. Shubman Gill has led the team from the front. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have also scored runs consistently. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna is leading the charts for top wicket-takers in the season, while Mohammad Siraj is also in excellent form. Gujarat are coming into this clash on the back of a 39-run win against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens.

Fullscreen Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are having a forgettable campaign. They are languishing at No. 9 on the points table, with two wins and seven defeats after playing nine matches. Riyan Parag has led the team in five matches in the absence of Sanju Samson, and the inaugural champions have suffered four defeats under the Assam all-rounder. The side has lost matches from winning positions, especially while chasing, which is a concern.

In their last encounter, they failed to score 18 runs off the last two overs with five wickets remaining at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. While the Royals have a mathematical chance to reach the playoffs, they would want to focus on one game at a time now.

Pitch Report

Jaipur might be the most consistent ground in the IPL at the moment. Scores aren’t huge here, but no team has been rolled over in the last year and a half. Last season every score was between 199 and 173 and this season so far we’ve has 173 vs 175 and 180 vs 178, so it looks a fairly tight range comes into play here. Decent sized boundaries, a wicket with a little in it and often windy, batsman need to be a bit smarter with their shot selection than at other venues but they can still make runs once they get set.

RR vs GT Weather Conditions

This glorious arena under the desert skies is equally famed for its fairy-tale finishes as for its fierce climate. As the teams prepare for action under the floodlights, the conditions could shape strategies, influence team selection, and test player endurance.

Jaipur’s infamous late-April heatwave is peaking, and with hardly a cloud in sight, spectators and players can expect a scorcher. The mercury sits stubbornly near 38°C at start time, before easing just slightly as night deepens. Dew will stay minimal but the ultradry air could sap energy and test bowlers’ grip.

VenueArun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

Delhi Capitals (DC) will clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 46 of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday. While Capitals have won six out of their eight encounters and are sitting pretty at number 2 on the points table, RCB have also been victorious in six of their nine matches this season and are at number 3.

While RCB’s top-order has fired this season, Capitals have the best combined batting average for the middle order (positions 4-7) in the competition. RCB, though, have an edge in the bowling unit and have a better average, strike rate and economy rate than Capitals in the tournament. They have been the second-most restrictive bowling unit this season.

Capitals defeated Challengers by six wickets in their first fixture this season at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Chasing a modest 163/7, Capitals romped home with more than two overs to spare courtesy a brilliant undefeated 93 off just 53 deliveries by KL Rahul.

We look at the rivalry between the two franchises, the players to watch out for and the match-ups, the numbers which stand out in the different phases of play and who is likely to come out triumphant in the high-octane encounter.

Venue Stats – Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

  • The average score batting first at the venue in IPL 2025 is 197.
  • The average score chasing at the venue is 191.
  • The spinners have completely outshone the pacers in Delhi this season. They have picked 13 of the 19 wickets to fall at an average of 25.1 and economy rate of 9.1. The pacers have struggled in Delhi and bagged just six wickets at an average of 73.2 and economy of 10.2.
  • The team batting first has won both the encounters in Delhi this season.

Pitch Report

Not many are aware of how the pitch will behave at the Kotla in the 4 PM game. So far, in this season the wicket has been turning a fair bit and the dew is also playing a role in the second innings. Dew might also play a part in this game after 6 PM and it might become tough for the team bowling second. Chasing has been the trend at the venue through this season and it is likely to continue for this game as well.

Weather Conditions

It will be extremely hot in Delhi when the two teams take the field. The temperature is expected to hover in the 40s during the game and it will dip just a bit once the sun sets. Dew is also likely to come in as the match progresses while there is no rain in the forecast.

Probable Playing XIIs (including Impact Player)

DC: 1 Karun Nair, 2 Abishek Porel, 3 KL Rahul, 4 Tristan Stubbs, 5 Axar Patel, 6 Ashutosh Sharma, 7 Vipraj Nigam, 8 Kuldeep Yadav, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Mohit Sharma, 11 Mukesh Kumar, 12 Dushmantha Chameera

Players To Watch Out For

KL Rahul (DC)

KL Rahul is the leading run-getter for Capitals this season with 323 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 153.8. His highest impact knock came against RCB in Bengaluru when he smashed a breathtaking 93 off just 53 deliveries in a successful chase. Rahul has unleashed his aggressive avatar this season and it is paying off for DC – whenever Rahul scores 50+ at a rate of 150+, his team’s win percentage goes up to 71.4%.

Kuldeep Yadav (DC)


Kuldeep Yadav is the leading wicket-taker for Capitals this season with 12 dismissals in eight innings at a strike rate of 16. He has been brilliantly restrictive too with an economy rate of 6.5 this season. The Chinaman is the highest wicket-taker for Capitals since 2023 with a tally of 38 wickets at an economy of 7.6.


Virat Kohli (RCB)

Virat Kohli has hit red-hot form this season and has the second-highest aggregate scoring 392 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 144. Kohli has been phenomenally consistent and already registered five fifties in the edition. He hammered a magnificent 70 off just 42 deliveries against Rajasthan Royals in RCB’s last encounter at the Chinnaswamy. Kohli has seen his game against spin improved significantly this season and has smashed the slower bowlers for 194 runs in 138 deliveries at a scoring rate of 140.6.


Josh Hazlewood (RCB)


Hazlewood has been the pick of the RCB bowlers and is the joint-highest wicket-taker with 16 dismissals in nine matches at a strike rate of 12.3. His highest impact performance came in RCB’s last encounter against Rajasthan Royals when he returned with 4/33 at the Chinnaswamy. The Australian quick has been brilliant in the powerplay where he has picked 6 wickets at an economy of 7.37.

Mumbai Indians have performed brilliantly so far in this season of IPL. Mumbai is not in the fourth position in the points table with 10 points, i.e., five wins in 9 matches. If MI wins against Lucknow Super Giants today, then its claim to reach the playoffs will be stronger.With both teams level on 10 points and battling for a top-four spot, this clash could define their playoff trajectories. 

While LSG won the last meeting between the two teams, they will start the upcoming game as underdogs because of the recent form of both teams. LSG have lost two of their last three games and will be looking to get back to winning ways.On the other hand, MI have won their last four games and will be eyeing another win. With form on their side, MI will also look to beat LSG at their home ground for the first time. As MI and LSG gear up for the match, we are taking a look at their head-to-head record.

Reece Topley: “The Resilient Yorker King of White-Ball Cricket”

Reece Topley is an English professional cricketer known for his left-arm fast-medium bowling and lower-order batting. Born on November 21, 1993 , in Essex, England, Topley has represented both the England national team and various county teams during his career. Despite facing injury setbacks, he has carved out a reputation as a reliable bowler in white-ball cricket.

Personal Life

Off the field, Topley is known for his humble demeanor and dedication to fitness and recovery. He often shares insights into his training routines and mental approach to the game on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Reece Topley grew up in a cricketing family. His father, Don Topley, was also a left-arm fast bowler who played first-class cricket for Essex and represented England in One Day Internationals (ODIs). Reece followed in his father’s footsteps, joining Essex’s youth system and making his first-class debut for the county in 2011 at the age of 17.

Playing Style

Standing at 6’7″ (201 cm) , Topley uses his height to extract bounce and carry from the pitch, making him particularly effective in shorter formats of the game. He is known for his ability to bowl yorkers and seam deliveries, which have troubled many top-order batters in limited-overs cricket.

International Career

Topley made his international debut for England in January 2015 in a T20I match against West Indies. Later that year, he played his first ODI against Ireland.

PBKS vs KKR Preview:

KKR:

Kolkata Knight Riders came up short against Gujarat Titans in their previous encounter—the 39th match of the 2025 IPL. Batting first, Gujarat posted an impressive 198 for 3, thanks to standout knocks from Shubman Gill (90 off 55) and Sai Sudharsan (52 off 36). Gill was later named Player of the Match for his commanding innings.

In response, KKR couldn’t keep up with the required rate and fell short of the target. Ajinkya Rahane top-scored with a steady 50 off 36 balls, while Angkrish Raghuvanshi chipped in with a quick unbeaten 27 off 13. Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana picked up a wicket each, but it wasn’t enough. Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan both took two wickets as Gujarat sealed a comfortable 39-run win.

PBKS:

In their previous outing—the 37th match of IPL 2025—Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured a comfortable 7-wicket win over Punjab Kings. Batting first, Punjab posted 157/6, with Prabhsimran Singh scoring a quick 33 off 17 and Shashank Singh remaining unbeaten on 31 off 33. Harpreet Brar and Arshdeep Singh picked up a wicket each.

In reply, RCB made the chase look easy. Virat Kohli led the way with a brilliant unbeaten 73 off 54 balls, while Devdutt Padikkal supported with a solid 61 off 35. Bengaluru chased down the target in 18.5 overs with 7 wickets in hand. Kohli was named Player of the Match, and with the ball, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma chipped in with two wickets apiece.

Ryan Rickelton: South Africa’s Dynamic Wicketkeeper-Batter

A prodigious talent forged through diverse sports, Ryan Rickelton emerged as one of South Africa’s most promising cricket stars. Born into a sports-loving family, Rickelton’s father, Ian—a former cricketer and director of sports at St. Stithians College—nurtured his early talent, while his mother, Penny, inspired a competitive edge through her squash background . By age 14, Rickelton showcased remarkable versatility: excelling in school rugby, provincial squash, and even breaking the Gauteng Under-14 weightlifting record (snatching 61kg) .

Early Career & Influences
Rickelton’s cricket journey began under his father’s guidance, blending technical rigor with inspiration from Australian legends Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist . Their aggressive yet consistent style shaped his left-handed batting approach. By 2012, he was named Cricket South Africa’s Under-15 Player of the Year , though he missed the 2014 Under-19 World Cup, delaying his rise .

Domestic Dominance
Rickelton’s breakthrough came in the 2021-22 first-class season , finishing as the third-highest run-scorer, which earned him a Test debut against Bangladesh in April 2022 49. Despite a brief county stint at Northamptonshire (2022), where he scored 2 centuries and 4 fifties in 4 matches , an ankle injury sidelined him during South Africa’s 2022-23 Australia tour. Post-surgery, he silenced critics by smashing four centuries in five weeks for the Lions, proving his resilience .

White-Ball Mastery & International Call-Ups
In 2023, Rickelton topped the List A domestic challenge , leading to his ODI debut against West Indies . Though initial outings were modest (17 runs in 2 matches), his T20 prowess exploded in 2023-24: he became the SA20’s leading run-scorer and ranked second in CSA’s T20 Challenge with the highest strike rate (165.12) among top 12 batters 56. This earned him a spot in South Africa’s 2024 T20 World Cup squad , though he didn’t play.

Ryan Rickelton in the IPL

Ryan Rickelton earned his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2025 after a stellar performance in the Betway SA20 , where he finished as the leading run-scorer . His aggressive batting and consistency in franchise T20 leagues caught MI’s attention, leading to a contract ahead of IPL 2025. Though yet to make his IPL match debut as of April 2025, Rickelton’s domestic T20 form—4 centuries in 5 weeks for the Lions and highest strike rate in CSA’s T20 Challenge (2023-24)—positions him as a key prospect .


Ryan Rickelton

Ryan Rickelton in Global T20/T10 Leagues

Rickelton has dominated franchise cricket globally :

  1. Betway SA20 (South Africa) :
    • Starred for MI Cape Town in SA20 Season 2, earning the Orange Cap for most runs (2024) .
  2. CSA T20 Challenge :
    • Second-highest run-scorer (2023-24) with the best strike rate among top 12 batters.
  3. County Cricket (England) :
    • Scored 2 hundreds and 4 fifties in just 4 matches for Northamptonshire (2022).
  4. T10 Leagues :
    • While not explicitly mentioned, his aggressive style suits T10 formats, common in leagues like the Abu Dhabi T10.

Style & Legacy
A dynamic wicketkeeper-batter, Rickelton combines explosive batting with sharp glovework. His ability to adapt across formats—averaging 45.75 in first-class and dominating white-ball cricket—marks him as a future cornerstone of South African cricket .
