Gujarat Titans will face Rajasthan Royals in the 52nd match of the 2026 Indian Premier League at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
The Titans are fifth on the points table with 12 points from ten matches and will be looking to win to seal a playoff spot before the last leg of the season. They come after impressive wins against the mighty Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. They were beaten by the Royals at the start of the season and will be looking to reclaim bragging rights when the two sides meet.
Here is the strongest predicted XI of Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals for Match 52 of IPL 2026:
Top order: Sai Sudarshan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(wk),
Sai Sudarshan And Shubman Gill both are starting to look in great form, which bodes well for the Titans' playoff prospects. Sudarshan scored 57 runs in 41 balls against Punjab Kings, which set the stage for a relatively easy target of 164 runs. Shubman Gill scored 43 runs in 18 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore, but could not score against Punjab Kings. With 385 and 378 runs respectively, he led the way for the Titans with the bat in 2026 as well.
Jos Buttler has seen a resurgence in form after a disappointing performance in the 2026 T20 World Cup. He has shown glimpses of his best form in the 2026 season, scoring 335 runs at a strike rate of over 150. He has been a vital cog for the Titans in the number 3 role.
