Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans Match Prediction – 52nd Match

The 52nd Match of the Indian Premier League 2026 will see Rajasthan Royals take on Gujarat Titans on Saturday, May 9, at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM local time (2:00 PM GMT / 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET).

Rajasthan Royals enter this match with a strong and balanced squad. Their batting lineup includes Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubham Dubey, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Donovan Ferreira, and Riyan Parag, giving them a good mix of attacking top-order options, middle-order stability, and finishing power.

Rajasthan’s all-round department also looks useful, with Riyan Parag, Ravindra Jadeja, Dasun Shanaka, Donovan Ferreira, and Yudhvir Singh Charak offering flexibility in both batting and bowling. Ravindra Jadeja’s experience can be very important on a Jaipur surface where spin may become a key factor as the match progresses.

Rajasthan’s bowling attack has variety and wicket-taking ability. Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Kwena Maphaka, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Adam Milne, Kuldeep Sen, Sushant Mishra, Tushar Deshpande, and Vignesh Puthur give the team pace, spin, swing, and death-over options. Sandeep Sharma’s control and Ravi Bishnoi’s spin could be important against Gujarat’s strong batting order.

Gujarat Titans come into this contest with a powerful and experienced squad. Their batting unit includes Shubman Gill, Anuj Rawat, Jos Buttler, Kumar Kushagra, Glenn Phillips, Tom Banton, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, and M Shahrukh Khan. With Gill, Buttler, and Sai Sudharsan at the top, Gujarat have a strong foundation, while Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan provide finishing strength in the lower middle order.

Gujarat’s all-round strength is also impressive. Rashid Khan, Washington Sundar, Nishant Sindhu, Jason Holder, Arshad Khan, Rahul Tewatia, and Glenn Phillips give the team strong balance. Rashid Khan and Washington Sundar can be very effective on a surface that may support spin, while Holder adds experience with both bat and ball.

Gujarat’s bowling attack looks dangerous, featuring Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Kagiso Rabada, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Jayant Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Luke Wood, Gurnoor Brar, Arshad Khan, Ashok Sharma, and Kulwant Khejroliya. With Rabada, Siraj, and Prasidh in the pace department, and Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore in spin, Gujarat have strong wicket-taking options in every phase of the innings.

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch in Jaipur usually offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Batters can score well once they settle, but the surface may not always be as flat as some other IPL venues. Spinners and bowlers who use variations can get help, especially in the middle overs. Pacers who bowl hard lengths and slower deliveries can also be effective. A score of around 165–185 can be competitive at this venue.

Expert Prediction: Gujarat Titans have 52% chance and Rajasthan Royals have 48% winning chance.
