Complete Gujarat Titans won by 3 wkts

Jaiswal and Buttler are at the crease. Jaiswal is on strike. Umesh Yadav will open the attack
So no Nandre Burger in the subs either for Royals. Meanwhile, the players are out there and we're set for play. One slip in place for Umesh as he comes in from over the wicket
Here are the Impact substitutes for both the teams
Gujarat Titans Subs: Sharath BR, Shahrukh Khan, Darshan Nalkande, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Manav Suthar
Rajasthan Royals Subs: Rovman Powell, Tanush Kotian, Shubham Dubey, Keshav Maharaj, Navdeep Saini
Teams:
Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(w/c), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Sen, Yuzvendra Chahal
Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Shubman Gill(c), Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shankar, Abhinav Manohar, Matthew Wade(w), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Spencer Johnson, Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma
Samson: We also wanted to bowl first. Journey has been special. But as everyone knows, leading a team can't be done alone. Grateful for the support from Sanga and team. Even if we've won all four games, there have been different challenges. Bit confused (about the playing XI). You can see it on the sheet.
Gill: Will bowl first. In case rain is in play, you want to chase things down. Not easy to set up a playing XI when your main players are injured. Couple of changes - Matthew Wade comes in for Kane. Manohar comes in for Sharath. In past couple of games we were in brilliant position. It's just about finishing the crunch situations. Batting part is easy. When I'm batting I don't think about captaincy. While captaining, you want to give players confidence.
Gujarat Titans have won the toss and have opted to field
19:16 Local Time, 13:46 GMT, 19:16 IST: Toss will happen at 7.25pm local, start of play at 7.40pm.
Jos Buttler: The feeling is great in the group, lots of different individuals standing up and playing well for the team throughout the four games has been the key for our success. The spinners Ashwin and Chahal, they have been fantastic in this tournament for a long time and Boulty with the new ball. We got lot of things covered, but it counts for nothing today we need to turn up and put our best foot forward and play a good game of cricket. Have a very good relationship with Sanju (Samson) I played with him for a long time here and there's a nice level of trust there and trying to help out if I can and where I can.
Sai Sudharsan: Heartbreaking loss last game, but we learnt a lot from those situations and hopefully we get better in such situations today. The transition from all the phases (talking about converting starts into a bigger one) has to happen in the right way and I have been working on it in the nets as well, yesterday I have had a chat with Gary Kirsten and Nehra as well. The bowling unit has been doing really well and we have a very good match-up today. Shubman (Gill) is doing captaincy for the first time, he is getting to learn a lot and it will be a very good challenge for him.
19:03 Local Time, 13:33 GMT, 19:03 IST: Good news! Covers are being removed and some of the players have started doing their drills on the field.
18:59 Local Time, 13:29 GMT, 18:59 IST: No signs of the toss happening on time. Expect some delay.
18:42 Local Time, 13:12 GMT, 18:42 IST: Oops, there seems to be some rain in the air and the covers are coming on.
Pitch and conditions: "Slightly windy at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. 62 meters on one side (against the wind), 70 meters on the other (with the wind). 79 meters down the ground. Looks like a really good wicket. There's just a hint of grass on it - green grass. Hopefully that will keep some extra pace in the wicket. We saw here last time, this was the slowest out of all the surfaces on this block of wickets in Jaipur. For me, I'll look to play straight as a batter here. Because we know in Jaipur, there can be some movement with the new ball. But as it goes on, I expect it to get a little bit slower. With the overhead conditions, there shouldn't be much dew. Overhead conditions suggest there might be rain later on" - Pommie Mbangwa and Aaron Finch.
There are question marks over the fitness of some players from both teams. Wriddhiman Saha and David Miller from Gujarat. And Sandeep Sharma from Rajasthan.
In Rashid Khan, Gujarat have someone who has an excellent record against most Rajasthan batters except Sanju Samson.
