In the 9th match of the IPL 2026, Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR). Gujarat Titans had a disappointing start to their campaign this season, suffering a three-wicket defeat against Punjab Kings in their opening match.

Despite the loss, Shubman Gill delivered a solid performance with 39 runs, while Jos Buttler contributed 38. Among the bowlers, Prasidh Krishna stood out as an impact player, picking up three wickets for 29 runs in his four overs.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals began their Indian Premier League 2026 campaign on a strong note, securing a convincing eight-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings. Chennai, after opting to bat first, could only manage 127 runs, a target Rajasthan comfortably chased in just 12.1 overs.
During the chase, Rajasthan’s top order provided an excellent start. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played a remarkable innings, scoring a match-winning 52 off just 17 deliveries.
