The Gujarat Titans will take on the Rajasthan Royals in Match 9 of the 2026 Indian Premier League on Saturday evening. RR lead the league standings after the first round of matches, while GT are in sixth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Gujarat Titans endured a disappointing start to the 2026 IPL season, losing their opening match of the campaign by three wickets to the Punjab Kings on the road last Tuesday.
GT’s batting order was very disappointing in that match, with only Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler scoring over 30 runs. Last season’s Purple Cap winner Prasidh Krishna was the standout performer with 3/29 with the ball.
The Titans have now lost their last four IPL matches. These sides met twice last season and won one game apiece, both home matches.
Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals produced the most commanding performance in the first round of the IPL, demolishing the Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets and 47 balls to spare.
Rising star, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi blashed 52 runs off just 17 deliveries in that victory, while Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger and Ravindra Jadeja all claimed two scalps each.
RR have the out-and-out highest net run rate in the competition at +4.171. However, they have lost three of their last four encounters against this opponent.
