    IPL 2024, RR vs GT: Decoding the key player battles

    What's the story

    Match 24 of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) sees the battle between Gujarat Titans and the high-flying Rajasthan Royals.

    Table-toppers RR have been on a roll this season, winning all their first four fixtures.

    GT have managed just two wins in their first five outings. They must return to winning ways sooner rather than later.

    Let's decode the key player battles.

    #1

    Shubman Gill vs Trent Boult

    GT depends a lot on Shubman Gill though the star opener has blown hot and cold this year.

    The GT skipper has an issue with the moving ball upfront and against RR, he will have to tackle the in-form Trent Boult.

    In nine IPL meetings, Gill has scored 59 runs against Boult at a paltry strike rate of 103.63, while getting dismissed once.

    #2

    David Miller vs Yuzvendra Chahal

    While Gill needs to score runs up front, David Miller has the onus to ace the finisher's role.

    The latter is likely to have a face-off with Yuzvendra Chahal.

    Though the leg-spinner has dismissed Miller thrice across nine IPL meetings, the latter has a strike rate of 175 in this battle.

    Notably, boasts an economy of 6.36 this season (8 wickets).

    #3

    Jos Buttler vs Rashid Khan

    As RR opener Jos Buttler made a match-winning hundred in his last outing, GT would want to dismiss him early.

    For that, they may unleash Rashid Khan as soon as possible.

    Buttler has faced Rashid eight times in the IPL and has scored only 30 runs off 47 balls while getting dismissed thrice.

    He has an IPL strike rate of 63.82 against the leggie.

    #4

    Riyan Parag vs Mohit Sharma

    GT pacer Mohit Sharma has been a force to reckon with in the death overs.

    He will have the onus to negate the Riyan Parag threat in the RR game.

    The young batter has been on a roll this season, smashing 185 runs (SR: 158.12).

    Mohit, meanwhile, has taken the most IPL wickets in the last five overs since the 2023 season (25).

    Key details about the match

    The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur will host this duel on April 10 (7:30pm IST).

    The wicket here usually assists the batters right from the start.

    This venue has played host to several high-scoring games in the tournament. Both pacers and spinners can cash in here.

    One can watch the match live on the Star Sports Network and stream the same on JioCinema.
