In the IPL 2026 Qualifier 2 match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Gujarat Titans (GT) emerged victorious by seven wickets at the Maharaja Singh PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh.

After suffering a loss, RR's skipper Riyan Parag said, "It was a par score. I think 215 was defendable but I felt the wicket got a little better in the second innings after the heavy roller. In the first innings, I felt the spinners had a little bit more grip and the shorter, slower balls were sticking up a bit more. So I feel it was a passable score, but it could have been better. At one stage it looked as if 230 was on the cards, which in these big games can make a difference - those extra 15-20 runs. I think 230-240 would have made that chase really challenging. But with 215, given their batting lineup, we knew we had to get the openers early, which we didn't. And it was always going to be a tough road after that".
