RR vs GT Set for High-Stakes IPL 2026 Showdown in Jaipur

The IPL 2026 playoff battle intensifies as Rajasthan Royals host Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday night. With both teams tied on 12 points and only a handful of league matches remaining, the result could significantly impact the top-four standings.

Rajasthan Royals, captained by Riyan Parag, are aiming to bounce back after a mixed run of form that has seen them lose three of their last five matches. Adding a special touch to the evening, the Royals will wear their iconic all-pink jersey as part of the franchise’s annual ‘Pink Promise Match,’ an initiative supporting women-led transformation in rural Rajasthan.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans arrive with momentum firmly on their side. Led by Shubman Gill, GT have won three matches in a row after recovering from a slow start to the season. Gill, alongside former Royals batter Jos Buttler, has played a key role in reviving the Titans’ campaign.

The toss is scheduled for 7:00 PM IST, while the match begins at 7:30 PM IST. Fans can watch the action live on the Star Sports Network, while digital streaming will be available on the JioHotstar app and website in multiple languages.
