Former West Indies cricketer Brian Lara and former India batter Ambatai Rayudu were divided on the Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans IPL 2024 match in Jaipur. Lara, former Sunrisers Hyderabad coach, backed the Royals, stating they have everything covered. Rayudu, however, believed Gujarat Titans would beat RR on Wednesday. Rajasthan Royals have had a successful start to the tournament, being the only unbeaten team and currently leading the points table. Jaiswal, who has been a standout for the national team, has only scored 39 runs in four games. The match is expected to be a thrilling match between the two teams.

If he is back amongst the runs, it will be icing on the cake for RR as his opening partner Jos Buttler returned to form with an unbeaten century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Sanju Samson has been leading RR from the front, scoring 178 runs from four games including two fifties.
Riyan Parag has been in top form, scoring 185 runs and two unbeaten half-centuries. Gujarat Titans have been a formidable side, managing well so far. Rayudu believes they will overcome Rajasthan Royals' dream run in the 17th edition of the league. Gujarat Titans have had a mixed campaign with two wins and three losses out of five games. The Shubman Gill-led team aims to avoid a hat-trick of losses on Wednesday, but it will be difficult to do so against an opponent on a rampage. They will be looking to bounce from a poor performance against Lucknow Super Giants.
Gill, personally, have had a decent outing with the bat so far, scoring 183 runs from five games with a strike rate close to 147.
His opening partner B Sai Sudharsan too has been among runs but is yet to register a fifty in the tournament. He replaced Wriddhiman Saha at the top in the previous and is expected to bat alongside Gill also on Wednesday.
Veterans Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav have been the stand-out performers with the ball for GT but they fell flat in front of little-known Punjab Kings cricketers Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma in a thrilling tie. The Afghan trio of Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad also need to raise their game.
