Following a commanding 77-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, Gujarat Titans strengthened their IPL 2026 playoff position, with projections showing qualification probability of Gujarat Titans rising after the massive Net Run Rate boost generated by the win.
The latest victory now places Gujarat Titans at a 72.52% chance of reaching the playoff and a 38.71% probability of completing inside the top two after their biggest-ever IPL victory by runs. 84 of Shubman Gill, 55 of Sai Sudharsan and superb 4/33 of Rashid Khan powered Gujarat Titans to a dominant victory that lifted Gujarat Titans to second place in the standings and shifted their Net Run Rate from -0.147 to +0.228.
Despite the defeat, Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, remain projected slightly ahead of Gujarat Titans overall, with an 80.31% playoff probability and a 44.07% top-two probability.
By the remaining schedule, that contradiction is largely driven. While GT still face Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in their final three league matches. Remaining fixtures of Rajasthan Royals come against Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians – all these teams currently outside the top seven and carrying significantly weaker playoff projections.
