Match Overview: Table-toppers in Match №47 of the current Indian Premier League 2025, the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals square off at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, April 28.

Mohammad Siraj is also playing very well, and Prasidh Krishna is at the top of the season's wicket-takers list.

Match Preview: The 13th match of the IPL 2025, which is scheduled on April 1 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, will feature the Lucknow Super Giants hosting the Punjab Kings. The costliest and second-costliest players in IPL history will square off. LSG's new captain, Rishabh Pant, will play his old DC coach, Ricky Ponting, who is a member of PBKS, for the first time. In this match, the Indian batting sensation will be keen to silence his detractors and let his bat speak for itself. In contrast, Iyer guided PBKS to victory in the first match with an unbeaten score of 97. The captain of the 2024 Indian Premier League is enjoying playing at number three and hopes to keep it up. In their first home game, Rishabh Pant and his team will look to continue their winning streak from their five-wicket victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last meeting. The team's batting attack was led by top-order batsmen Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran, who amassed 52 and 70 runs, respectively, helping them attain the target of 191 with four overs remaining. However, in their first matchup with the Gujarat Titans, the Punjab Kings were outstanding. They scored 243 runs in the first innings thanks to the scorching performance of star batsman Shashank Singh and the unbeaten 97 of captain Shreyas Iyer. The winners of the 2022 Indian Premier League lost by 11 runs. This season, the Punjab Kings are off to a scorching start in the lucrative competition. But as of right now, their bowling attack doesn't seem really credible. However, LSG's bowling attack is also being questioned, despite their apparent batting prowess.
