Rajasthan Royals will look to continue their strong run in IPL 2026 when they face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 at the New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Friday.

Live streaming and live telecast of the GT vs RR IPL 2026 Qualifier 2 scheduled to start on May 29 at 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST) will be available to watch in India.

The Royals head into Qualifier 2 after storming past Sunrisers Hyderabad by 47 runs in the Eliminator at the same venue on Wednesday.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi produced one of the most destructive knocks in IPL playoffs history, smashing 97 off just 29 balls with 12 sixes to propel the inaugural champions to a record 243/8 - the highest score by RR in IPL.

Jofra Archer then led the charge with the ball, removing Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Travis Head to help bowl SRH out for 196 in 19.2 overs.

The victory extended Rajasthan Royals’ unbeaten record at the New International Cricket Stadium to four matches, a stat that will provide further confidence heading into Friday’s clash.

The Qualifier 2 of the IPL 2026 playoffs also presents RR with the opportunity to become only the fourth team in history to reach the final after progressing through the Eliminator route.

GT, meanwhile, finished second in the league standings this season and will be aiming to bounce back after their defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Qualifier 1.
