IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans’ strongest predicted XI against Royal Challengers Bengaluru

The Gujarat Titans (GT) will look to lift the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 trophy when they take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 31.

The Shubman Gill-led side has been in scintillating form heading into the summit clash. They finished second on the points table only because their net run rate was lower than that of the Royal Challengers, and they bounced back fiercely from a Qualifier 1 setback to dominate Qualifier 2. In their last nine matches, the Titans have registered seven victories, making them a formidable force as they return to their home turf to claim the championship. RCB, on the other, will be looking to defend their title. 

Here is GT's strongest predicted XI for Final vs RCB:

Top order: Shubman Gill (C), B Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK)

GT’s biggest strength has been this top-order of Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and Jos Buttler. The trio has accumulated 1939 runs for the team so far in IPL 2026. The opening duo of Gill and Sudharsan is one of the most successful opening pairs in the history of the league already, and are among the highest run getters of the tournament. Despite having a below-par season with the bat, Jos Buttler at number 3 gives immense confidence and stability to this side. He will also keep wickets.
