RR vs GT pitch report: Unbeaten Rajasthan Royals face hot and cold Gujarat Titans in the 24th match of Indian Premier League 2024. The two sides come into this contest on the back of contrasting results. While RR are the only team to remain unbeaten in the tournament, GT have lost two consecutive games after winning two in three.
Meanwhile, GT have been pegged back by fitness issues to David Miller and Wriddhiman Saha and their middle-order looks thin all of a sudden. The Titans need to find better time with the ball as well.
