Our Titans will be back in action for a high-stakes showdown against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 of the TATA IPL 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh on Friday, May 29.
We had an off day in our previous outing as we suffered a 92-run defeat against RCB in Qualifier 1 of the TATA IPL 2026. Jason Holder and Kagiso Rabada were the standout bowlers for us in this matchup, picking up two wickets apiece.
After a campaign filled with memorable moments and valuable lessons, our Titans have regrouped and set their focus on this crucial encounter against the Royals.
As we head into this blockbuster clash, middle-order batter Tewatia will aim to continue his good form after his impressive half-century against RCB in Qualifier 1.
Captain Shubman Gill has continued his remarkable consistency by amassing 400+ runs in every season for the Titans. Our bowlers have consistently delivered in crucial moments this season, with Rabada, Siraj and Rashid Khan all featuring among the top 10 wicket-takers in the TATA IPL 2026.
With a spot in the final up for grabs, we can expect some fireworks from our boys, who will give it their all to take us one step closer to the prestigious TATA IPL 2026 trophy. Aava De!
