Rajasthan Royals will take on Gujarat Titans in the 52nd match of the ongoing IPL 2026 at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur on Saturday. After getting off to a promising start in the first half of the season, the inaugural champions, RR, have veered off the track at the crucial juncture of the tournament.
When it is high time to peak in the competition, they have only managed two wins in their last six games. However, with six wins in 10 games, they are still in a good position to make it to the playoffs.
RR could not defend 226 runs in the last game against Delhi Capitals while playing at their home venue and thus, their bowlers must pull up their socks. Riyan Parag’s return to form with a 90-run knock was a positive though for the franchise.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have won their last three games, including wins against top teams like RCB and PBKS. Their bowling unit has been successful in restricting the opposition to under 165 in these three previous games and their batting always fancy themselves to chase such scores with ease.
Jason Holder has come into the playing combination like a breath of fresh air and the West Indies all-rounder has bagged two Player of the Match awards in the last two games.
Head to Head: Matches: 9, Won by GT: 6, Won by RR: 3.
