Who will win today’s IPL match between Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans?
The game will be held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
Match Overview
For yet another enthralling encounter in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, it will be Rajasthan Royals (RR) hosting Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, for Match No. 52 of the tournament on Saturday, May 09.
Rajasthan Royals started off their IPL campaign on a winning note but lost the plot thereafter. In their last five matches, the Royals have lost three games. They arrive at the clash on the back of a seven-wicket loss against Delhi Capitals. With the race for the playoffs getting tricky, the Riyan Parag-led side will be hoping to tick all the boxes and make a top-four entry.
Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, have been enjoying a decent run of late despite a sedated start. After seven matches, GT had won only three but had made a terrific comeback in the next three encounters with a hat-trick of wins. The Shubman Gill-led team will look to build their winning momentum further and solidify their position for the playoffs.

RR vs GT: Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Shubman Gill
GT skipper Shubman Gill has looked in good form with the bat but is yet to bat at his full potential. He has often got dismissed after good starts, but this time round, the Fazilka-born will look to capitalise on them and build a big innings. With 378 runs in the tournament already, it will be mouthwatering to see runs flow of Gill’s blade on Saturday.
Probable Best Bowler: Jofra Archer
While no bowler enjoys his time bowling in Jaipur, the skills that Jofra Archer offers with his raw pace and aggression make him the player to watch out for in the upcoming contest. Archer has looked like the best pacer for RR by a distance and has picked wickets for fun. He has picked 15 wickets in IPL 2026, the most for RR this season, and has contained the flow of runs in the league, which has been a high-scoring affair.
