GT Vs RR Live Streaming, IPL 2026: Get Toss Update, Playing XIs

Gujarat Titans (GT) host the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 9 of the 2026 IPL season at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 4, Saturday. Historically, the Titans have held the upper hand in this rivalry, winning six of their eight previous encounters.

However, with the teams arriving in this season with new look and preparations, this match promises to be a exciting battle. Particularly the clash of the young captains, Shubman Gill and Riyan Parag, promises to be intriguing.

The Rajasthan Royals are coming into this game with some momentum behind their back. They had a fantastic win over Chennai Super Kings in the opening game, where their young batters looked unstoppable.

A major talking point has been 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has been hitting the ball everywhere. He scored a 15-ball century in the last match and eased the job of the batters,

On the other side, the Gujarat Titans are feeling some sting after a narrow loss to Punjab. Their captain, Shubman Gill, batted beautifully in that game, but the team's bowlers struggled to defend the total in the final overs. They need to sharpen their death bowling if they want to stop the Royals' hitters.

In this game, the matchup to watch is GT’s spin king Rashid Khan against RR’s aggressive middle order. Rajasthan will try to use their pace attack, led by Jofra Archer, to rattle Gill early on.

For Gujarat to win, they need their middle-order batters to support Gill so he doesn't have to carry the whole innings. Rajasthan look more balanced at the moment, but Gujarat is playing at home, which gives them some edge.

The pitch and conditions in Ahmedabad are famous for being a batter's paradise The surface is very flat, which helps the ball come onto the bat nicely for big shots. However, because it is an evening match, dew will be a major factor.

As the night goes on, the grass gets slippery, making it very difficult for spinners to grip the ball. This usually means the team winning the toss will choose to bowl first, as chasing a target is much easier under the lights.
