RR will host table-toppers GT in their next reverse fixture of IPL 2023 on Friday. Having suffered defeats in their previous games, both teams will be eager to return to winning ways. The finalists of IPL 2022 have carried their form to this season and looked like the team to beat this year as well.

Speaking on Star Sports, Ravi Shastri said –

“Looking at the current form and team standings, I believe that Gujarat will win the trophy. There is consistency and flexibility in this team and there are seven-eight players who are performing consistently. The players in this Gujarat side complement each other.”

Former India cricketer Ravi Shastri has backed Gujarat Titans as the title favourites in the IPL 2023 due to the balance this team has and the way it is performing collectively as a unit.

Ravi Shastri added –

“Sanju Samson has matured as a captain. He uses his spinners very well. Only a good captain can play with three spinners and use them smartly.” Shastri has also praised the way he is handling his spin troika of R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Adam Zampa in IPL 2023.
