Rajasthan Royals are unlikely to make any change to their playing XI for their next IPL 2026 game against Gujarat Titans as they eye to return to winning ways, and make it to the top two. Although Riyan Parag and co. have won six out of the ten matches played so far, they suffered a recent setback after losing to DC by 7 wickets in their previous game, largely due to the malfunctioning of their batting order. When it comes to the game against GT at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday, RR will heavily rely on their top four to contribute the most, as the venue has been a batter’s paradise so far in IPL 2026.
RR predicted playing XI vs GT
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag (C), Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Shubham Dubey, Jofra Archer, Ravi Bishnoi, Nandre Burger, Brijesh SharmaImpact player: Tushar Deshpande
RR are expected to field a batting-heavy unit in the game against GT as a run-fest in on the cards. Both games (RR vs SRH, and RR vs DC) played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium have seen the four teams post 220+ run totals, with teams batting second winning on both occasions. Incidentally, the Royals have ended up on the losing side in both the contests, despite scoring 228/6 and 225/6.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has 404 runs from 10 matches, will be expected to step up and replicate his feat from the earlier game against SRH at the same venue where he scored a blazing 103-run knock. His failure in the game against DC led to RR faltering despite Riyan Parag’s valiant 90-run knock, eventually resulting in a defeat for the hosts. The onus will also be on Jaiswal, who has managed to get good starts in IPL 2026 but has failed to convert them into big knocks majorly. While he does have 312 runs to his name at a strike rate of over 159 and a highest score of 77*, Yashasvi will be crucial to ensure the side gets off to a fiery start along with Sooryavanshi in the contest against GT.
While RR will rely heavily on Parag and Ferreira in the middle-order, it is imperative for veteran Jadeja to step up and deliver with the bat, something that he hasn’t been able to do so in this season. The team could use Shubham Dubey as an impact player to boost their batting line-up, and later replace him with Tushar Deshpande in the playing XI when they bowl.
The team that wins the toss is likely to bat second as the two games that have been previously played at the venue have favoured the teams who are chasing. The dew factor plays a major role, prohibiting the bowlers from making most impact if they bowl in the latter half of the contest. Additionally, spinners have tasted the least success at the venue while pacers – with the new ball – have been more effective so far in IPL 2026. Therefore, RR will rely heavily on Jofra Archer, Burger, Deshpande and Sharma to the heavy-lifting for the side in the pace department. The spin unit will be spearheaded by Bishnoi with Jadeja serving as second-fiddle.
