The Rajasthan Royals have hit a rough patch in the IPL 2026 season after slumping to a heavy defeat against the Gujarat Titans today, May 9. This loss at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium has sent fans scrambling through the record books, as the team never really got going in their chase of a massive total.
Throughout the RR vs GT encounter, Shubman Gill led from the front with a classy 84 to push his side to 229, leaving the hosts with a mountain to climb. Rashid Khan then tore through the middle order, picking up four wickets to wrap up a dominant win for the visitors.
RR vs GT: Top 5 Biggest Defeats For Rajasthan Royals In IPL:
112 runs vs RCB, Jaipur (2023)
The franchise’s toughest day at the office came back in 2023 when Royal Challengers Bengaluru visited Jaipur. Chasing 172, the home side folded for a mere 59 runs in what remains a shocking batting performance.
100 runs vs MI, Jaipur (2025)
Mumbai Indians also feature prominently on this list following their hundred-run victory last season. The men in blue put up a huge score before their fast bowlers blew away the Rajasthan Royals’ top order early on.
86 runs vs KKR, Sharjah (2021)
During the 2021 UAE leg, Kolkata Knight Riders made the most of the sluggish Sharjah track. They choked the run flow completely, winning by 86 runs to significantly improve their playoff hopes.
77 runs vs GT, Jaipur (2026)
The most recent addition to this list came tonight in the RR vs GT game, where the visitors were better in every department. Even with a brisk start from young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the team was bundled out for 152 in only 16.3 overs.
75 runs vs RCB, Cape Town (2009)
Way back in the opening match of the 2009 edition in South Africa, Anil Kumble’s five-wicket haul helped defend a small total. That 75-run defeat was a massive wake-up call for the then-defending champions.
