Rajasthan Royals (RR) will go up against defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur on Friday in what is becoming one of the IPL's most intriguing rivalries.
Despite this being only GT's second season, these two already have history. They met in last year's final, when the Titans triumphed by seven wickets, and when these two teams met earlier in the season, RR exacted some revenge winning by three wickets.
Both head into the game with a point to prove on the back of defeats, but perhaps more so GT, who will be looking to bounce back strongly after they could not chase down a subpar total of 131 runs against Delhi Capitals (DC) in their previous match.
Here are all the key stats, facts and milestones for this match.
