GT vs RR: Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals Head-to-Head, Stats & IPL Records

GT vs RR Head-to-Head Record: Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals Stats, Results & IPL History

Few IPL rivalries have become one-sided as quickly as GT vs RR.

Gujarat Titans only entered the Indian Premier League in 2022, while Rajasthan Royals have been part of the tournament since its inaugural season. Yet in a relatively short period, Gujarat have built a commanding record against Rajasthan, including victories in an IPL final and another major playoff encounter.

As of the end of the IPL 2026 season, Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals have faced each other 11 times in the IPL. Gujarat Titans have won 8 matches, while Rajasthan Royals have won 3.

That gives GT a winning percentage of approximately 72.7% against RR.

But the overall 8-3 scoreline does not tell the complete story.

Rajasthan have started finding ways to challenge Gujarat more consistently in recent seasons, while several GT vs RR matches have produced huge totals, individual centuries and important playoff moments.

Here is the complete picture.

GT vs RR Head-to-Head: The Numbers First

The most obvious number is 8-3.

Gujarat Titans have won almost three out of every four IPL matches they have played against Rajasthan Royals. That is a substantial advantage considering these two teams have met in high-pressure matches as well as regular-season contests.

Why GT vs RR Is More Important Than an Ordinary IPL Match-Up

This rivalry started with significance almost immediately.

The teams first met on 14 April 2022, during Gujarat Titans’ debut IPL season. GT won that match by 37 runs.

But their biggest meeting came only a few weeks later.

Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2022, and then the same teams met again in the IPL 2022 final.

GT won the final by seven wickets to become IPL champions in their very first season.

That result is an important part of the rivalry because Rajasthan were not simply another opponent during Gujarat’s breakthrough season. RR were the team standing between GT and their first IPL trophy.

Four years later, the rivalry returned to the knockout stage.

In the IPL 2026 Qualifier 2, Gujarat Titans chased Rajasthan Royals’ 214/6 by reaching 219/3, winning by seven wickets and moving into the final.

So GT’s advantage over RR is not limited to league matches.

They have also repeatedly beaten Rajasthan when the stakes were at their highest.

GT vs RR All Match Results: Complete IPL Timeline

Instead of looking only at the aggregate 8-3 record, the season-by-season sequence explains how the rivalry developed.

The timeline reveals something interesting that the headline record does not.

Gujarat started with complete control

GT won all three meetings in 2022.

That immediately created a 3-0 advantage.

Rajasthan finally defeated Gujarat in 2023, but GT responded later in the same season with an emphatic nine-wicket victory.

Rajasthan became more competitive after 2024

RR won once in 2025 and again in the first GT-RR meeting of 2026.

For a period, Rajasthan had won three of five matches against Gujarat across 2023-26.

That suggested the rivalry was beginning to balance out.

Then Gujarat responded.

GT defeated Rajasthan by 77 runs in May 2026 before beating them again by seven wickets in Qualifier 2.

So while RR have become more competitive, Gujarat continue to win the matches that define the overall rivalry.

The 2026 Season Changed the GT vs RR Record Book

Three GT vs RR matches were played during IPL 2026, and each told a different story.

RR won the first battle

Rajasthan Royals scored 210/6 at Ahmedabad on April 4.

Gujarat Titans replied with 204/8, giving Rajasthan a six-run victory.

It was one of RR’s strongest results in the rivalry because it came at Gujarat’s home venue.

GT answered with a 77-run victory

The return fixture in Jaipur went completely differently.

Gujarat Titans posted 229/4, their highest IPL total against Rajasthan.

RR were then bowled out for 152, leaving Gujarat with a huge 77-run victory.

Shubman Gill made 84 while Rashid Khan’s four-wicket spell destroyed Rajasthan’s chase. The result was reported as Gujarat Titans’ biggest IPL victory by runs at the time.

Qualifier 2 settled the season rivalry

The third meeting mattered most.

RR made 214/6 in Qualifier 2.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 96, but Gujarat produced an even stronger chase.

GT reached 219/3 and won with seven wickets remaining, with captain Shubman Gill producing a century in the playoff chase.

Final GT vs RR record for IPL 2026:

GT 2 wins – RR 1 win.

GT vs RR Highest Team Scores

The rivalry has changed significantly from its early years.

Initially, several matches were played around totals in the 150-190 range. By 2025 and 2026, 200-plus totals had become increasingly common.

Gujarat Titans highest score vs Rajasthan Royals

229/4 – IPL 2026

GT recorded their highest total against Rajasthan in Jaipur.

Rajasthan Royals highest score vs Gujarat Titans

214/6 – IPL 2026

RR posted this total during Qualifier 2.

Interestingly, it still was not enough.

Gujarat successfully chased it by scoring 219/3.

That match illustrates an important modern trend in this rivalry: even a total above 210 does not necessarily guarantee victory.

GT vs RR Lowest Scores

At the opposite end:

Rajasthan Royals’ lowest score against GT: 118

Gujarat Titans’ lowest score against RR: 177

This difference is one of the clearest explanations for Gujarat’s superior head-to-head record.

GT have rarely suffered a complete batting collapse against Rajasthan.

RR, on the other hand, have been dismissed or restricted to much lower totals on multiple occasions.

That consistency has helped Gujarat convert competitive situations into wins.

Highest Individual Scores in GT vs RR Matches

Two young Indian batters have already produced memorable performances in this rivalry.

Shubman Gill – 104

Gill’s century in the 2026 Qualifier 2 became one of the defining innings of the GT-RR rivalry.

It was not simply a century in a league game; it came during a successful playoff chase with Gujarat attempting to reach another IPL final.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi – 101

For Rajasthan, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s extraordinary IPL 2025 century remains one of the standout performances.

He scored 101 as Rajasthan chased 210 and finished at 212/2.

That hundred carried historic significance beyond the fixture itself: he became the youngest IPL centurion and reached three figures in only 35 balls.

The contrast between these two innings also shows why this rivalry could become even more interesting in future seasons.

GT have Gill.

RR have Sooryavanshi.

Both have already produced centuries against the other franchise.

Best Bowling Performances

Batting has increasingly dominated GT vs RR games, but there have also been important bowling spells.

For Gujarat Titans, Rashid Khan’s 4/33 stands among the leading bowling performances against RR.

For Rajasthan Royals, Ravi Bishnoi’s 4/41 is their best recorded bowling performance against Gujarat.

These figures matter because both came during an era when the fixture had become much more batting-friendly.

A Stat That Explains Gujarat Titans’ Dominance

The headline figure is 8 wins from 11 matches.

But there is a better way to understand that advantage.

Gujarat have beaten Rajasthan in several completely different match situations:

They have successfully defended totals.

They have dominated low-scoring matches.

They have completed 200-plus chases.

They have won at home.

They have won in Jaipur.

They have beaten RR in league matches.

And most importantly, they have defeated Rajasthan in knockout matches.

That versatility separates genuine domination from a misleading head-to-head statistic.

GT vs RR in IPL Playoffs

This is arguably the most important section of the entire rivalry.

GT and RR have already met in major IPL playoff matches.

IPL 2022 Qualifier 1

GT won by 7 wickets

IPL 2022 Final

GT won by 7 wickets

IPL 2026 Qualifier 2

GT won by 7 wickets

That means Gujarat have won all three of these major knockout/playoff meetings against Rajasthan.

And strangely, every one of those victories came by exactly seven wickets.

For an IPL rivalry with only 11 total matches, having three major postseason meetings is significant.

It is also why the overall GT vs RR record carries more weight than many other relatively new IPL head-to-head combinations.

What Changed for Rajasthan Royals?

An 8-3 overall score suggests one-way traffic, but Rajasthan’s recent performances show improvement.

RR’s three wins came in:

2023 – 3 wickets

2025 – 8 wickets

2026 – 6 runs

Rajasthan therefore proved they can defeat Gujarat both while chasing and defending.

Their bigger problem has been consistency.

After important wins, GT have repeatedly responded with convincing victories.

The clearest example came in 2026.

RR won the first meeting by six runs.

GT then won the next two by 77 runs and seven wickets.

Until Rajasthan can string multiple victories together, the rivalry remains firmly tilted toward Gujarat.

Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals: Who Has the Better Record?

There is currently no real debate statistically.

Gujarat Titans have the superior GT vs RR head-to-head record.

Eight victories from 11 matches means GT have won 72.7% of their meetings.

Rajasthan have a 27.3% win rate.

The gap becomes even more significant when playoff results are considered because Gujarat have repeatedly defeated Rajasthan in major knockout games.

RR have produced memorable individual performances and are becoming more competitive, but Gujarat remain the benchmark in this match-up.

Five GT vs RR Numbers Worth Remembering

11 – total IPL meetings.

8 – Gujarat Titans victories.

3 – Rajasthan Royals victories.

229/4 – GT’s highest total against RR.

3-0 – Gujarat’s record across the major playoff/knockout meetings discussed above.

Those five figures summarize much of the rivalry.

But they also show why future GT vs RR matches deserve attention: Rajasthan now have enough firepower to challenge the historical pattern, while Gujarat have repeatedly shown they know how to respond.

What the GT vs RR Record Tells Us

The GT vs RR rivalry is unusual.

It is young, but it already contains an IPL final, multiple playoff matches, centuries, huge chases and some emphatic wins.

Gujarat Titans currently own the numbers.

An 8-3 head-to-head advantage and repeated playoff success make GT the clear historical leader in this match-up.

But Rajasthan have won three times since their original 0-3 start and have produced increasingly dangerous batting performances.

That gives the next chapter of GT vs RR something the early meetings lacked: genuine uncertainty.
