The toss for GT vs RR Match 9 at Narendra Modi Stadium takes place at 7 PM IST on April 4. The toss is critically important at this venue in an evening match.
Toss Prediction
Both captains will bowl first without hesitation at Ahmedabad in an April evening match. The dew from the 13th over onwards makes chasing significantly easier — spinners lose grip, batters play with more freedom and 220+ chases become very achievable. Based on conditions, the toss winning captain will opt to chase at this venue. This has been the pattern all season — bowl first, chase with dew advantage.
If GT Win Toss and Bowl First
- RR bat first on dry pitch — Sooryavanshi C is the pick
- RR openers (Jaiswal + Sooryavanshi) batting first on fresh pitch
- Rashid bowling dry pitch = more dangerous for GT
- GT chase with dew — Gill + Sudharsan batting second with advantage
- Captain: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi C — batting first, fresh pitch, no dew
If RR Win Toss and Bowl First
- GT bat first — Shubman Gill C or Jos Buttler C
- GT openers (Gill + Buttler) batting first on fresh Ahmedabad surface
- Archer bowling dry pitch = even more dangerous vs Gill
- RR chase with dew — Jaiswal + Sooryavanshi batting second
- Captain: Rashid Khan C — bowling dry pitch OR Gill C batting first
Captain Guide After Toss
Simple rule at Ahmedabad: captain the best batter from the team batting first. If RR bat first → Sooryavanshi C or Jaiswal C. If GT bat first → Shubman Gill C. Rashid Khan stays as VC in all scenarios — he bats AND bowls. Jofra Archer and Kagiso Rabada are must-picks regardless of toss.
