There is one more reason behind the excitement of this match. Both teams had a great rivalry and past, before this clash as star Indian player and one of the finest batters of all time, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is known for his aggressive batting performance and impressive knocks. In Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played an iconic knock against Gujarat Titans and made the cricket world aware of his potential and skills. Let’s get some glimpses of that innings; Sooryavanshi smashed a 38-ball hundred. His knock included 7 fours and 11 sixes and helped his side to chase down the target of 209 runs. Now, the interesting part is, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will face the same team at the same venue. Would he still showcase that performance and innings again?

If we discuss their last matches, Gujarat Titans won their last match and defeated Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their respective match. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals played their last match against Delhi Capitals, where they suffered a 7-wicket defeat. Both came with the same intent and winning mindset. This game will be a crucial one as the winners of this match will complete 14 points in the points table and reach the second spot in the points table. This means, they would only need one victory to qualify for the playoffs of the tournament.
