New Chandigarh, May 29: The Rajasthan Royals will take on Gujarat Titans in the all-important Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 today, with a place in the final at stake. The high-voltage clash is set to unfold at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh.

Fans across the country are eagerly awaiting the showdown, with the atmosphere in New Chandigarh already electric as supporters of both franchises gather to witness the decisive battle.
