Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Gujarat Titans (GT) on Friday in the second qualifier of IPL 2026. GT had to face defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first qualifier. At the same time, RR had defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator match. Let us tell you the names of those 5 players, who can single-handedly change the course of the match in the second qualifier.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who got Rajasthan Royals the ticket for the second qualifier by playing a explosive innings in the eliminator match, will be the biggest trump card for RR in this match too. In the eliminator match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Vaibhav played a stormy inning of 97 runs facing only 29 balls.
Joffra Archer: Jofra Archer has performed brilliantly with the ball in the last few matches for Rajasthan Royals. Even in the eliminator match, Archer bowled brilliantly and took 3 important wickets. Archer has taken 24 wickets in his name in 15 matches played in the tournament. Archer can prove to be a big threat for the batsmen of Gujarat Titans in the powerplay and final overs.
Sai Sudarshan: Gujarat Titans’ performance in the second qualifier will largely depend on Sai Sudarshan’s batting. Sudarshan has been seen in amazing form this season. He has scored 652 runs in 15 matches playing at a strike rate of 157. Along with giving a good start, Sudarshan has also been seen batting aggressively in IPL 2026. If Sudarshan is successful in playing long innings, then the problems of Rajasthan Royals may increase.
Shubhman Gill: This season has been amazing so far for Sudarshan’s opening partner and Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill. In 14 matches, Gill has scored 618 runs at a strike rate of 159. Gill, along with Sudarshan, has led Gujarat Titans to victory in many matches this season. If the Sudarshan-Gill pair performs once again in the second qualifier, then the path for Rajasthan Royals may be difficult.
Dhruv Jurel: Along with the explosive batting of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel has played some amazing innings for Rajasthan Royals this season. Even in the eliminator match, Jurel played a strong inning of 50 runs facing just 21 balls. He has scored 508 runs in 15 matches played in IPL 2026 and his performance at number three position has been excellent for the team.
