In this paper, we study the extreme values of the Rankin–Selberg L -functions associated with holomorphic cusp forms in the vertical direction. Assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis (GRH), we prove that $$ \begin{align*} \underset{T^{\delta}\leq t\leq T}{\max}\bigg\lvert L\bigg(\frac12+it,f\times f\bigg)\bigg\rvert \geq\exp\bigg(C\sqrt{\frac{\log T\log\log\log T}{\log\log T}}\bigg) \end{align*} $$ with $C\leq \mathscr {X}\sqrt {1-\delta }$ , where $\mathscr {X}:=({2}/{\pi })\int _{0}^{\pi /3}\sin ^2\xi \,d\xi $ and $0\leq \delta.
