Second-placed Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on seventh-placed Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 23rd match of IPL 2025. GT have won 3 out of their four matches in the season so far. The Shubman Gill-led side kicked off its campaign with a defeat against Punjab Kings in a high-scoring affair.

GT bounced back strongly and registered a hat-trick of wins. They defeated Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad. GT have won one out of their 2 home matches.

RR have 2 wins from 4 matches. Riyan Parag led the inaugural champions in the first three matches. Sanju Samson played these matches as an Impact Player. RR finally managed their first win of the season in the third game. Samson-led RR registered a big 50-run win over Punjab Kings in their fourth game.

GT have much to gain from this game and they can climb to the top spot by the end of the day. Here, we have a look at how Gujarat Titans can replace Delhi Capitals (DC) and become the top-placed team in the IPL 2025 points table -

Both DC and GT have registered 3 wins each. Both teams have 6 points in their account. DC have an NRR of +1.257 while GT have an NRR of +1.031. GT don't have to worry about their NRR and a win would be enough for them to become the top-placed team.

A win over RR will see GT becoming the only team to have 8 points. DC are undefeated in IPL 2025 and they will have an opportunity to regain the top spot should GT dethrone them.

The teams finishing in the top two get two chances to qualify for the final and every side aims for these two positions. The teams finishing at the 3rd and fourth spots have to win the eliminator and then the second qualifier to make it to the final of the IPL.
