Rajasthan Royals are up against Gujarat Titans in their 11th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 season. In the fixture taking place at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday (May 9), RR’s stand-in skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal opted to bowl first after winning the toss. However, his decision backfired as GT openers Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill took the RR bowlers to the cleaners and laid the foundation for a massive total for the Ahmedabad-based franchise. Riding on Sudharsan’s 55 and Gill’s 84, GT posted 229/4 in their 20 overs.
