Mentioned in this story
Rajasthan Royals once again find themselves battling inconsistency after a strong start to their IPL campaign, mirroring their struggles from the 2023 and 2024 seasons. After dominating teams early in April, RR have lost momentum midway through the tournament and now head into a crucial clash against Gujarat Titans under pressure.
The Royals are coming off a week-long break and face another extended gap after this match, raising concerns about rhythm and momentum. Their bowling attack, apart from Jofra Archer, has struggled recently, especially after failing to defend totals of over 225 in Jaipur. Questions also remain over Dhruv Jurel’s effectiveness at No. 3 against spin bowling.
Meanwhile, GT arrive with confidence after winning three matches in a row. Their recent success has been built around disciplined bowling, early wickets with the new ball, and controlled middle overs, allowing their batting lineup to chase manageable totals.
The Titans will also be wary of this fixture, as it was against them last season that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi grabbed attention with a sensational 35-ball century.
For today’s IPL 2026 match between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the pitch is expected to be a batting-friendly wicket with consistent bounce. Chasing is highly preferred. Teams bowling first have won roughly 65% of games here this season, aided by the potential for second-innings dew that makes it difficult to defend totals.
The weather for today’s IPL 2026 match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is expected to be hot and clear, with a high of 38°C and no threat of rain. Expect extreme summer conditions with a peak daytime temperature of 42°C. By the 7:30 PM IST toss, the temperature will settle into the mid-30s, gradually cooling as the match progresses. Dew is expected to settle later in the evening (likely after 9 PM), which may assist the chasing team by making the ball harder to grip for bowlers.
Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Riyan Parag (c), Ravindra Jadeja, Donovan Ferreira, Shubham Dubey, Dasun Shanaka/Tushar Deshpande, Jofra Archer, Adam Milne, Ravi Bishnoi
The toss for the RR vs GT match is scheduled to take place shortly before the game starts, typically around 30 minutes prior to the match.
Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans have faced each other multiple times in the IPL, with GT currently holding an edge due to their recent performances.
Jaipur is expected to have favorable weather for the match, with no significant rain forecasted, allowing for a full game.
