It's a story of divergent fates. The Gujarat Titans, with three losses and two wins, are struggling in the middle of the table, while the Rajasthan Royals, with four wins in as many games, are comfortably atop the points table.

On Wednesday, the two clubs will play an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium from opposing viewpoints. The Royals' goal will be to take advantage of home field advantages and get one step closer to securing a postseason spot, while the Titans must deal with their injury problems and restart their season.
As per its reputation, the surface might be favorable for batters, and Jos Buttler will be held to high standards. After a dismal beginning to the season, Buttler led his team to win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru with an undefeated century, showcasing a return to form.

With 190 runs in five innings against Titans, the England limited-overs captain has a good record; the same cannot be said of Royals. In the five games played between the two teams, Titans have won four while the Royals have won just one.
The home team is still the favorite against the Titans, who have been uneasy thus far, despite having checked all the boxes thus far. Although Sai Sudharsan and captain Shubman Gill have shown flashes of brilliance, the team has not performed to its full potential.
David Miller was forced to skip the match against Punjab Kings due to a niggle. Miller is "not too far away" from rejoining the team, according to Titans bowler Spencer Johnson, and he will be available for the following game "if not this one." Miller also had a protracted net batting session.
Sandeep Sharma will not be playing for the Royals; assistant coach Trevor Penney said he is healing and "may be available for selection" for the next game.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has struggled, scoring just 39 runs in four games, but Sanju Samson, the team captain, has led from the front in the Royals' batting lineup this season. The Royals will attempt to maintain the momentum as they have been unstoppable so far, with a highly skilled bowling team contributing to their cause.
