There are 13-14 strips of pitches on the world's biggest ground of Ahmedabad. Strips are of both types of Red soil as well as Black Soil. Black soil's pitch helps more than the Red soil's pitch. While Red soils give good bounce and pace, which helps both bowlers and batters. Dew may play an important role in the match. Hence toss winning team will want to field first.

Jos the Boss is key for RR
Gujarat's team has been one of the best bowling teams this season. However, if Rajasthan opener Jos Buttler's bat comes out, he can remove the wind of this bowling attack. Apart from Butler, Captain Sanju Samson has also been seen in a great rhythm.
