IPL 2023: GT vs RR, Today Match Prediction - It's the rematch of the IPL 2022 final as Gujarat Titans face Rajasthan Royals in the 23rd match of IPL 2023. Two teams with a brilliant season last year are looking good this time too. While RR are the table toppers, GT are on third. Let's see how these two can fare against each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Focus on Boult as RR look to get him back
Rajasthan Royals played their previous game against CSK without their premium fast bowler Trent Boult. The Kiwi bowler missed the game due to a niggle and all eyes would be on him for this game. Rajasthan have 3 wins in 4 games and would be looking for another one against Hardik Pandya's men.
Titans look to continue winning run
Gujarat Titans have also lost just one in four outings. They lost a nail-biter against KKR but made a comeback with a 6-wicket win over PBKS in the Friday game. Notably, Rashid Khan would be crucial for them as he has a good record against many of the RR batters.
