A true clash of franchises that know how to reach the peak of the IPL. The Rajasthan Royals (RR) holds the title of being the “Inaugural Champions” of 2008 while the Gujarat Titans (GT) stunned everyone by winning the championship in their maiden season of 2022. Ironically, that title was earned by beating the Royals in an “at the death” final, thus instantly this match-up becomes a “western derby” of sorts.
Ever since these two teams locked horns, it has been GT were the ones who have imposed their personality on the exchanges, with solid, tactical discipline dominating the landscape, while RR fancy an explosive individual brilliance borne out of completely different beats of the heart. Chase at Sawai Mansingh Stadium or spin-battle at Narendra Modi Stadium, this rivalry continues to be one of the fiercest ones in the league.
GT vs RR Head to Head Record
Gujarat Titans have made a strong start to this rivalry and currently lead by a distance in the overall tally. But if there is one side that has proven they can pick the Titans’ lock, it is RR that has found the winning combination with some last-minute thrills.
