RR vs GT: IPL 2026 Records and Stats at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) take on the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 52 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, May 09.

The Royals have played two games in Jaipur and have lost both. They are coming off a week-long break after their loss to the Delhi Capitals, where they failed to defend a massive total of 225. They sit in fourth place with 12 points from 10 matches and will be looking to seal a playoff spot.

The Titans, on the contrary, have seen a late resurgence, finding themselves in fifth place with 12 points. They have beaten the Punjab Kings and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last couple of fixtures, the two dominant sides in the competition. They will be looking to leave Jaipur with the two points, which would settle them in a dominant position for the playoffs.

The two teams met early in the season at the Narendra Modi Stadium on April 4. The Royals posted a total of 210/4 in their 20 overs after electing to bat. They defended the total successfully, winning by just six runs after Jofra Archer and Tushar Deshpande bowled two brilliant overs to close out the game. Ravi Bishnoi’s figures of 4/41 saw him pick the Player of the Match award.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur: Pitch report

The two games at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in IPL 2026 have seen the Royals fail to defend totals in excess of 220. The wicket favours the batters with the ball coming onto the bat comfortably. The fast bowlers have got early lateral movement and bounce, which could prove beneficial to both teams with the strength in their pace attack. Square boundaries are longer than the straight boundaries, which makes scoring runs down the ground significantly easier.

RR vs SRH Strategies and Match-ups 

The victory on April 4 was only the Royals’ third victory against the Gujarat Titans. The teams have met nine times in the past, with the Titans winning six of them. The two teams come into this clash looking to pick up two points that would solidify their case for the playoffs. 

The teams boast solid bowling attacks, and while the Royals have been found wanting with the ball in past games, the Titans have been fierce and opportunistic, breaking teams’ backs early in the powerplay before wrapping up innings in the middle overs. The Royals’ openers, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal, will pose a completely different type of challenge to the new ball pair of Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada.
