RR will be looking to reach only their third IPL final. The Jaipur-based franchise last reached the showpiece game back in 2022, when they lost to their opponents from Friday.
Here is RR’s strongest predicted XI vs GT, Qualifier 2, IPL 2026:
Top Order: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (WK)
At the age of 15, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has already established himself as RR’s most valuable batter. The left-handed batter is the current holder of the Orange Cap, with 680 runs from 15 matches, scoring at a ridiculous strike-rate of 242.85.
His opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, on the other hand, has scored 426 runs this season, but his individual scores have dwindled in the last few games. In his last six outings, the 24-year-old has scored just 120 runs at an average of 20.
