Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will be up against each other in Match 9 of the ongoing IPL 2026 on Saturday, April 4th. The high-octane clash will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.

Gujarat Titans had a disappointing start to IPL 2026, losing their first match against Punjab Kings. With average performances from both bat and ball, they will aim to improve in both departments for their first win of the season.

Rajasthan Royals, however, made a strong impression, defeating CSK convincingly, thanks to Vaibhav Suryavanshi masterclass in Guwahati. Their all-round performance showed they are well-balanced, and will look to get the second straight win.

Gujarat vs Rajasthan player battles

Shubman Gill vs Jofra Archer

Shubman Gill's early face-off against Jofra Archer is undoubtedly a key battle in the upcoming GT vs RR clash, especially inside the powerplay. Gill has been dismissed three times by Archer in IPL, scoring just 16 runs off 19 balls, making this matchup crucial for the outcome of this IPL 2026 clash.

Riyan Parag vs Prasidh Krishna 

Riyan Parag has thrived against Prasidh Krishna in IPL, scoring 30 off 16 balls with no dismissals. Krishna, however, has been a deadly force in the middle-overs, taking 14 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 6.30 since IPL 2025. Parag’s ability to negotiate Krishna could heavily influence the outcome of the game.

Jos Buttler vs Ravindra Jadeja 

Jos Buttler against Ravindra Jadeja is another crucial battle in the upcoming GT vs RR clash. Buttler, though out of form, has a good record in Ahmedabad. Jadeja, in excellent form with Rajasthan Royals, has dismissed Buttler twice in T20s, conceding just 35 runs off 30 balls in the last five years.

GT vs RR Toss Prediction

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is known for being a flat deck, providing a paradise for the batters. While teams often prefer bowling first here, recent results suggest otherwise, with teams chasing winning only two out of the nine games last season. 

The average first-innings score is around 215, making it a daunting task for any chasing team. Despite this, the tendency to bowl first remains, so the captain winning the toss in GG vs RR clash is most likely to opt to bowl.
