Hello and Welcome to all 

29th May 2022, Gujarat Titans playing their debut season faced Rajasthan Royals in the IPL finals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. On that day, RR led by Sanju Samson managed to score 133 on the board with current skipper Riyan Parag batting at seven scoring 15. Titans won the game by seven wickets and also clinch the title with present skipper Shubman Gill scoring 45 runs. 

Now four years later to the day, the same sides meet again but this time to stay alive in the tournament. Winner of this clash will head to Ahmedabad to play Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the biggest game of the cricketing calendar. New Chandigarh will witness two teams with explosive players put up sizzling performances with the bat and ball. 

Gujarat Titans are licking their wounds after their 92-run loss to RCB in the first qualifier on Tuesday night in Dharamsala. Rajat Patidar totally destroyed the GT bowlers as the defending champions scored an imposing 254 on the board. In reply none of the Gujarat batters barring Rahul Tewatia was able to put up a fight. Gill’s side can be dangerous when they are nursing a wound and they will be ready for a fightback. 

Rajasthan Royals are coming into this game after their win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator game on Wednesday. RR scored 243 thanks to 29-ball 97 by boy wonder Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with Dhruv Jurel scoring a fifty. Jofra Archer then bulldozed the SRH top order to continue is prime form with the ball. Men in Pink played their best cricket of the IPL 2026 to set-up this clash and perhaps look to avenge the loss from four years ago.
