GT Vs RR Toss Update, IPL 2026 Qualifier 2: Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and elected to field first against Gujarat Titans at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Friday, May 29
Summary
Gujarat Titans (GT) are up against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Friday, May 29.
The winner of the Qualifier 2 will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in final of IPL 2026.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been RR's trump card in this season, and he once again proved that in the last match against SRH, where he slammed 97 off just 29 balls to single-handedly turn the match in RR's favor.
That innings by Sooryavanshi in a high-pressure match against SRH not only took RR into Qualifier 2 but also elevated his reputation around the world. The teen prodigy could again be the deciding factor in today's match.
If he fires against them, then there are high chances that RR would sail to the final; otherwise, given the brittle middle order of RR, GT bowlers could get the better of them if Sooryavanshi fails.
On the other hand, GT's bowling, which has been their strength throughout the tournament, let them down against RCB, along with their fielding. Titans' top-order consisting of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler has been the most consistent of the tournament, but they cannot go gung-ho from the start.
They are coming off a heavy defeat against RCB in Qualifier 1 and will be desperate to turn things around and play their third final of the IPL.
