IPL 2026: RR vs GT, Match 52 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium - Stats & player battles to watch

Stuttering Rajasthan Royals (RR) will meet a much-settled Gujarat Titans (GT) in match No. 52 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 9. Rajasthan lost their last game to Delhi Capitals (DC) by seven wickets and now have 12 points with six wins and four losses.

Their net run rate (NRR) of 0.510 is what keeps them above Titans on the points table, as the latter also have the same number of points after 10 fixtures. Though Royals lost the previous fixture, their skipper Riyan Parag was back among the runs, and that must have lifted their spirits.

Meanwhile, Titans have emerged as one of the powerful bowling outfits in the ongoing season. Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, Jason Holder and Rashid Khan are complementing each other really well. They are operating in tandem and are making lives extremely arduous for the opposition batters.

The onus of run-scoring will lie with Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler and Holder predominantly.
