IPL 2026: GT vs RR Match 9 - Top player battles to watch out for
The Gujarat Titans take on the Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
1. Shubman GIll vs Jofra Archer
Shubman Gill was dropped from the Indian team for the T20 World Cup in a substantial snub ahead of the IPL season. He enters the season with a point to prove and regains his place in the T20 team. His main threat comes from England’s Jofra Archer, who had an impressive outing against the Chennai Super Kings, picking up two wickets.
In the six innings that the pair have met in, the matchup is in Archer’s favour. In six innings, Gill has just been able to score 16 runs in 19 balls, at a strike rate of 84.21. Archer has dismissed Gill three times in this span and will look to add to that count when these two teams meet.
