RR and GT face each other in match 24 of IPL 2024 on Wednesday, April 10. The match starts at 7:30 pm IST. This is the fifth game for the Royals and the sixth for the Titans.
The Royals come into this game after four consecutive victories. This is their fourth home game. Their previous home win was against RCB. Jos Buttler’s sixth IPL ton eclipsed Virat Kohjli’s eighth IPL ton as Royal cruised to victory chasing 184 to win.
Playing at home, Rajasthan Royals have made it difficult for rival teams to even challenge them at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
They are a team that likes to bat first, but against RCB they also went after the target clinically. The Royals seem to have enough ammunition in batting and bowling.
Jos Buttler, after struggling for the first three games, found form and scored a century. Yashasvi Jaiswal is the only batsman who seems to be out of touch.
His extra aggressive batting approach has not yielded results so far. RR bowlers have got the experience of Boult, Ashwin and Chahal right.
