The TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, match no.52, was between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

RR’s regular captain, Riyan Parag, was not available after picking up a hamstring injury in the last game against the Delhi Capitals (DC), so Yashasvi Jaiswal was the stand-in captain. The Southpaw won the toss and opted to bowl first. The Royals made some changes, Yash Raj Punja and Shimron Hetmyer coming in for Nandre Burger and Ravi Bishnoi.
