Rajasthan Royals will look to build on the early-season momentum when they take on the Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2026 clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

The GT vs RR IPL 2026 match on April 4 will start at 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST) and will be available to watch on live streaming and live telecast.

The last time Rajasthan Royals faced the Gujarat Titans, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur with an explosive century, scoring 101 off 38 balls to help the inaugural champions chase down 210 inside 16 overs.

Having started the IPL 2026 season with a blistering 15-ball fifty against the Chennai Super Kings on Monday, which helped the Royals register an eight-wicket win, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will once again be one of the stars on show.

Meanwhile, the Royals’ bowling will be led by the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger, who restricted CSK to 127 in the opener.

Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, will enter the contest on the back of a three-wicket loss against last season’s finalists Punjab Kings.

Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals players

Rajasthan Royals boast a dynamic opening pair with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top.

Skipper Riyan Parag anchors a solid middle order alongside Dhruv Jurel, while Shimron Hetmyer and Ravindra Jadeja provide the line-up with enough depth.

Ever-reliable Sandeep Sharma, overseas fast bowlers Nandre Burger and Jofra Archer and a potent spin option of former world No. 1 T20I bowler Ravi Bishnoi make it a well-balanced unit.

Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, will look to Indian ODI and Test captain Shubman Gill to spearhead their batting. However, he has struggled against the pace and bounce of Jofra Archer in the IPL, having been dismissed three times in just 19 balls while scoring only 16 runs.

Former Royal Jos Buttler, along with Glenn Phillips, Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada, lends formidable overseas firepower to Gujarat Titans.
