IPL test — Gujarat Titans take on Rajasthan Royals at Narendra Modi Stadium (Ahmedabad) on Saturday, April 4, 2026.

Gujarat Titans (GT) will play their first home match of the Indian Premier League 2026 season at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday, April 4. The Shubman Gill-led side will take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and will hope to register their first win of the season in front of their home crowd in Ahmedabad.

Riyan Parag’s side started their campaign with a win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Meanwhile, the Ahmedabad-based team suffered a disappointing defeat against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). Both teams will field their best possible combination to secure victory in Match 9 of the marquee tournament.

Gujarat Titans depend heavily on their top order to score runs. Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler need to fire. The middle order looks slightly thin with Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, and Shahrukh Khan. The bowling unit looks settled, with Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan, and Kagiso Rabada.

Rajasthan Royals will enter the match full of confidence. Riyan Parag will lead the side after their dominant opening win. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi form an exciting opening pair and are in excellent batting form heading into the clash.
