Having registered our third successive win, our Titans have travelled to Jaipur as we square off against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in our upcoming TATA IPL 2026 clash on Saturday, May 9. The RR vs GT game will be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium from 7:30 PM IST.
Led by our captain Shubman Gill, our boys will be brimming with confidence as we look to secure a fourth straight win and strengthen our bid for the Playoffs
Heading into the game, our Titans are coming off an impressive four-wicket win over the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Gujarat no Gadh on Sunday.
After our captain Gill won the toss and opted to bowl first, our pacers Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj struck early to put the PBKS batting order under pressure.
Our star all-rounder Jason Holder then built on the momentum and later finished with his best TATA IPL figures of 4/24. Siraj and Rabada picked up two wickets each and Rashid chipped in with one scalp to cap off a clinical bowling display.
Ahead of our clash against RR, Sudharsan once again looked in terrific form during the net session. Fresh off another impactful knock, Sai Su continued to impress with his elegant strokeplay and clean striking in the nets, setting the tone for the upcoming matchup.
Similarly, Washi also looked in great touch during the training session, showcasing his range of shots and impressing us with his attacking intent and power-hitting abilities.
Speaking of this rivalry, Sai Sudharsan has enjoyed a fair share of success against the Royals. In our previous meeting, Mr. Consistent smashed a sensational 73 off 44, laced with nine fours and three maximums. Sai Su will aim to continue his red-hot form on Saturday.
