Rajasthan Royals will be vying for a spot in the final when they lock horns against Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 Eliminator on Wednesday evening at Mullanpur.
They beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator, thanks to a sensational knock from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, which inspired them to a 47-run victory.
They haven’t won the championship since the inaugural edition in 2008, and Riyan Parag and Co. will hope to seal another shot at glory by beating GT.
Meanwhile, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have been in good touch and will hope to take on Jofra Archer from the first ball.
GT do have a formidable bowling line-up, comprising Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada and Mohammad Siraj, and the battle with Sooryavanshi might decide the fate of this fixture.
The winners of the game will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
