Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill expressed his satisfaction after a four-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday (Apr 30) in their Indian Premier League 2026 clash in Ahmedabad. He highlighted the bowlers’ strong showing, which kept RCB to a modest 155, making the chase straightforward for the home side. Chasing 156, GT wrapped up the match in just 15.4 overs, thanks to brisk contributions from Gill, who struck 43 off 18 balls and Jos Buttler, who added 39 off 19. Earlier, the bowling attack was led by Arshad Khan (3/22), with support from Rashid (2/19) and Jason Holder (2/29), as RCB were dismissed in 19.2 overs.&nbsp;The win moves Gujarat Titans to fifth place on the points table, with 10 points from nine matches.&nbsp;Reflecting on the performance, Gill credited the bowlers for keeping the opposition below 160 on a batting-friendly pitch and noted an improvement in the team’s fielding. He also acknowledged Tewatia’s value in finishing games, adding that although a few extra wickets fell during the chase, contributions across the team helped seal the victory.&nbsp;"Feels very satisfying. On a wicket like this, restricting them to under 160 was a tremendous job by the bowlers. Our fielding was one of the things...in phases, we have not fielded well. Energy in the field was very nice. (On his batting) I was just feeling I was in the zone. Felt it is my day and wanted to take the bowlers on. (On Tewatia) He is a very important player, happy he finished the game.

IPL 2026, GT vs RCB: Gujarat stay firm in Playoffs race with win as Bengaluru fail to go top

Former Royal Challengers Benglauru (RCB) captain Virat Kohli was seen in a heated spat with the fourth umpire as a major controversy unfolded in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026). Playing at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, RCB’s current captain Rajat Patidar was caught by Jason Holder of the Gujarat Titans &nbsp;(GT), but doubts surrounded the legitimacy of the catch. This led to Virat being involved in a heated conversation with the fourth umpire at the touchline, raising serious eyebrows.<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill admitted that his side lost momentum at a crucial stage, pointing to their inability to find boundaries in the 17th, 18th and 19th overs as a key factor in their five-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru during an Indian Premier League 2026 clash on Friday (Apr 24). Batting first, GT posted 205/3, powered by a superb 100 off 58 balls from Sai Sudharsan. They appeared on course for a total in the 220–230 range after reaching 170/2 in 16 overs. However, despite collecting 15 runs in the 16th over, they also lost Sudharsan, which proved to be a turning point.&nbsp;From there, RCB’s bowling unit, featuring Suyash Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, tightened down effectively, restricting boundaries across the next three overs and giving away only 17 runs in 18 deliveries. A final-over burst added 18 runs, but GT still ended below their anticipated total.&nbsp;Speaking at the post-match presentation, Shubman Gill said the Gujarat Titans lost momentum in the crucial 16th to 19th overs, where they failed to find boundaries and fell short of expected runs.&nbsp;"Definitely, I think from 16th to 19th we couldn't get any boundaries and couldn't get as many runs as we would have liked.

Kohli led the chase with a fluent 81 off 44, while Padikkal contributed a brisk 55 from 27 deliveries.&nbsp;Gill noted that although his side began well, they couldn’t secure breakthroughs in the middle overs, a phase that ultimately shifted the game in RCB’s favor.&nbsp;"At the end of the powerplay we were in a good position and it was about taking wickets in the middle overs and were not able to after the powerplay got over," he said.&nbsp;A key moment came early in Kohli’s innings when Washington Sundar dropped a straightforward catch off Mohammed Siraj, giving Kohli a lifeline on zero. Gill acknowledged that such missed chances can be costly but emphasised the need to recover quickly. He also pointed out GT’s inconsistency in dealing with length deliveries and credited RCB’s strong middle-over batting.&nbsp;"When a batsman gets dropped on nought, it's always tough on the fielder but it's important how you come back into the game. We had our moments but we were not able to consistently able to hit the length balls. And I think they batted beautifully in the middle overs," Gill said.&nbsp;Coming to the match, despite an early setback with Jacob Bethell's dismissal, Kohli and Padikkal stitched a 115-run stand to stabilise the chase. RCB briefly wobbled in the middle overs as wickets from Rashid Khan and Manav Suthar brought GT back into the contest, but Krunal Pandya (23* off 12) turned the game with a decisive late assault, including 15 runs in the 18th over. He finished the chase alongside Tim David as RCB reached 206/5 with seven balls to spare. Earlier, GT posted 205/3, powered by a brilliant century from Sai Sudharsan (100 off 58). After a dominant start from Sudharsan and Shubman Gill, RCB bowlers, led by Josh Hazlewood, pulled things back in the death overs to prevent a 220+ total, though GT still crossed the 200-run mark thanks to a late flourish from Jason Holder.&nbsp;&nbsp;With inputs from agencies

Skipper Shubman Gill reflected on where it went wrong for GT following their five-wicket loss to RCB at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

IPL 2026 | 'Couldn't get as many runs': Shubman Gill after GT’s loss to RCB

In match 45 of the IPL 2024 edition, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) beat Gujarat Titans (GT) by nine wickets&nbsp;in pursuit of 201 at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (April 28). Opting to bowl first, Faf du Plessis-led RCB didn't get a lot of breakthroughs as Shubman Gill &amp; Co. rode on Sai Sudharsan's 84 not out and Shahrukh Khan's 58 (30) to post 200 for 3. In reply, RCB chased down the score in the 16th over itself with Will Jacks slamming a breathtaking 41-ball 100* and Virat Kohli's 44-ball 70*. During the chase, Kohli was in his element and even hilariously interrupted Gill's captaincy.&nbsp;

The two batters took the attack to the opposition, with Kohli being the aggressor of the two in the beginning. However, the tides turned as the game entered into its second half.

GT lost their last match against Delhi Capitals in a tight contest on Wednesday but will look to bounce back in the IPL 2024. As things stand, they have&nbsp;eight points in nine matches and will need to find momentum. A win for GT against RCB will see them become the fifth team to gain 10 points in the IPL 2024 season, making it a tight affair for the playoff race.

RCB&nbsp;on&nbsp;the other hand, have&nbsp;a tough&nbsp;task&nbsp;to make the playoff as they mathematically need to win all their remaining five matches while hoping other teams also drop points. They will head into the match on the back of a win against high-flying SRH and&nbsp;will&nbsp;know a defeat could all but end their season.

GT vs RCB- IPL 2024 live streaming: How to watch Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bangalore live on mobile

Much to the delight of many Indian cricket fans, Virat Kohli finally returned to form in match 67 of IPL 2022 edition, on Thursday evening (May 19). With Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) being in a must-win scenario when they locked horns with the table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) -- with the remaining fourth playoffs spot on the line -- Kohli rose to the occasion and contributed with a chancy 73 (54) to help RCB chase down 169 with eight wickets to spare.

Kohli was lucky with quite a few inside edges going for a four and he was also given a repreive, however, he battled past everything to score only his second half-century of the season and take RCB closer to the playoffs. After his match-winning performance, former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh advised Kohli to continue playing in his expressive way -- as he was celebrating his runs versus GT and looking at his chirpy best -- in the coming games (i.e. if RCB progress to the playoffs).

"He (Kolhi) fought today and in an interesting fashion. He was enjoying as well. These moments were missing for a long time, his bat was hitting the ball but he was finding the fielders, he was getting run out, there was a close shave today, a catch was dropped in the deep but that didn't stop his attitude,” said Harbhajan on Star Sports.

“He kept on searching fours, the day he searches fours, Virat Kohli's attitude is like this, attacking mode. He is that type of a player, whether a four is hit from the other end or he hits one, he is an expressive player and should play like this only,” he added.

After GT opted to bat first, they rode on Wriddhiman Saha's 31, skipper Hardik's 62 and Rashid Khan's 6-ball 19* to post 168-5. In reply, RCB chased down the target with eight wickets, and equal number of balls to spare, with Kohli, captain Faf du Plessis (44) and Glenn Maxwell (18-ball 40*) leading the charge.

The three-time runners-up will now hope for Delhi Capitals (DC)' loss versus Mumbai Indians (MI) for them to book the remaining fourth playoffs spot.

Much to the delight of many Indian cricket fans, Virat Kohli finally returned to form in match 67 of IPL 2022 edition, on Thursday evening (May 19). With Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) being in a must-win scenario when they locked horns with the table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) -- with the remaining fourth playoffs spot on the line -- Kohli rose to the occasion and contributed with a chancy 73 (54) to help RCB chase down 169 with eight wickets to spare.

Kohli was lucky with quite a few inside edges going for a four and he was also given a repreive, however, he battled past everything to score only his second half-century of the season and take RCB closer to the playoffs. After his match-winning performance, former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh advised Kohli to continue playing in his expressive way -- as he was celebrating his runs versus GT and looking at his chirpy best -- in the coming games (i.e. if RCB progress to the playoffs).

These moments were missing for a long time, his bat was hitting the ball but he was finding the fielders, he was getting run out, there was a close shave today, a catch was dropped in the deep but that didn't stop his attitude,” said Harbhajan on Star Sports. “He kept on searching fours, the day he searches fours, Virat Kohli's attitude is like this, attacking mode. He is that type of a player, whether a four is hit from the other end or he hits one, he is an expressive player and should play like this only,” he added.

'He is an expressive player and should play like this' - Harbhajan Singh on Virat Kohli's 73 in RCB-GT tie

A fired-up Virat Kohli roared back to form with a fine half-century as Royal Challengers Bangalore stayed alive in the IPL playoff race with a thumping eight-wicket win over table-toppers Gujarat Titans here on Thursday. This was after skipper Hardik Pandya scored a gritty 47-ball 62 to lift GT to a competitive 168 for five after opting to bat. Kohli (73 off 54) and captain Faf du Plessis (44 off 38) shared a match-winning 115-run opening stand before Glenn Maxwell (40 not out off 18) went ballistic to ensure the team got home in 18.4 overs.

By virtue of this win, RCB moved to fourth place in the standings with 16 points but will have to wait for the Delhi Capitals-Mumbai Indians game on Saturday to know their fate. A loss for Delhi would ensure RCB a play-off berth. As the 'Kohli Kohli' chants suggested, the whole of Wankhede and probably the country wanted to see the former India captain back amongst the runs and with a little bit of luck going his way, he was back playing the shots he is known for. When Kohli picked Mohammed Shami for two lofted boundaries over the bowler's head and cover in the third over, it looked like it would be his night. His next four was a streaky one-off Hardik who bowled with the new ball.

The very next ball, Kohli was at his animated best as he whipped Hardik towards square leg with Rashid Khan missing a tough chance in the deep. A sign of his growing confidence was an aerial straight drive off Rashid. Kohli was quick on his feet both against Rashid as well as the pacers. The Indian superstar brought up his second fifty of the season by whipping a full ball off Rashid over deep midwicket. With Kohli on song, Du Plessis played his part perfectly and kept rotating the strike besides an odd boundary. After the captain's dismissal, Maxwell joined Kohli and went ballistic from ball one.

The Australian's cameo included a reverse scoop shot off Hardik that went all the way. After collecting his second six off Rashid, Kohli tried one too many and got stumped in the 17th over but the job had been well and truly done by then. Earlier, Hardik lifted GT to a competitive total. Coming into the game with a string of low scores, he warmed up nicely for the play-offs with a well-crafted fifty even though he was not at his fluent best. RCB limited GT to 72 for three in 10 overs, largely due to their brilliance in the field despite Wriddhiman Saha's (31 off 22) threatening stay in the middle.

Saha provided another brisk start with some clean hitting but his opening partner Shubman Gill perished cheaply. The right-hander poked at a good length ball and Maxwell, standing at a widish first slip, plucked a stunning one-handed catch diving to his right. Matthew Wade, who has not been at his explosive best in the IPL, fell to a controversial call which also attracted empathy from Kohli. Wade was sure that he had edged a sweep shot off Maxwell and took no time in reviewing the on-field decision, which was out.

However, despite a clear deviation in the ball's trajectory before it thudded onto the pads, the UltraEdge did not detect it and the TV umpire stayed with the on-field umpire's call. Wade had no choice but to grudgingly walk back into the dugout. Saha, who hit four boundaries and a six, had Hardik for company in the middle but following a mix-up with his captain, the wicketkeeper fell way short of his crease when Du Plessis came up with a stunning direct hit from mid-off.

Hardik, who was dropped on 14, made it count alongside David Miller (34 off 25), who continued his impressive run in the tournament. Miller smashed three sixes before Wanindu Hasaranga got rid of him with a sharp return catch. Rashid (19 not out off six) joined Hardik in the death overs and did what he has done over the course of the season. The leg-spinner whacked couple of sixes towards the end to push the total past 160.

IPL 2022: Virat Kohli roars back to form as RCB beat GT by 8 wickets to remain in playoffs race

The Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) locked horns with the table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 67 of the IPL 2022 edition, on Thursday evening (May 19). In what was a must-win tie for the three-time runners-up RCB, the Bengaluru-based franchise didn't disappoint their fans as Virat Kohli's 73 and Josh Hazlewood's twin strikes propelled the side to an easy eight-wicket win over Hardik Pandya &amp; Co.&nbsp;

With this win, RCB not only end their league stage with a bang but more importantly, they remain in the playoffs race by&nbsp;getting to 16 points. Nonetheless, the win doesn't guarantee them the remaining fourth playoffs spot as their closest rival Delhi Capitals (DC) can also get to the same number of points with one game left. Also, DC's NRR is still positive whereas despite&nbsp;RCB's massive win,&nbsp;Faf &amp; Co.'s NRR is in the negative.&nbsp;

Talking about the contest, Hardik-led Gujarat opted to bat first as they wanted to defend&nbsp;ahead of the Qualifier 1, which will be held on May 23 (Tuesday). After Wriddhiman Saha's departure (31), Gujarat found some rhythm&nbsp;via Hardik-David Miller's fifth-wicket stand but&nbsp;the skipper's unbeaten 62&nbsp;and Rashid Khan's 6-ball 19 not out took GT to 168/5. In reply, Virat Kohli roared back to form with a chancy 73 and was well supported by Faf (44) and Glenn Maxwell's 18-ball 40* as RCB closed the chase without dropping much sweat.

IPL 2022 updated points table: Royal Challengers Bangalore move to 4th spot with easy win over Gujarat Titans

The first half of match 67 of the IPL 2022 edition&nbsp;between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) saw a huge controversy when Aussie left-hander Matthew Wade was given out in a debatable manner. The swashbuckling left-hander hasn't had a great run in the 15th season and, hence, he was desperato to break the shakles and go big versus the RCB before the playoffs.

Coming out to bat at No. 3, after the dismissal of Shubman Gill, Wade looked in good touch as he got a start and was on 16 off 12 deliveries. However, in the sixth over, Wade went for a sweep off Glenn Maxwell but missed the line of the ball and while it seemed he had got an edge onto the pad, the umpire gave him out. Nonetheless, Wade looked confident and took the decision upstairs which led to a shocker for him.&nbsp;

Interestingly, UltraEdge showed no spike as it passed the bat and the ball tracking showed the ball hitting the middle and off stump. Thus, the decision stayed as Wade was livid and made the long walk back to the pavillion furiously. The 34-year-old vented out his frustation as he entered the dressing room, throwing his helmet and smashing his bat on several&nbsp;occasions. Here's the video:

RCB vs GT, IPL 2022 today match prediction: Who will win Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Titans clash?

Virat Kohli-starrer Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) face the table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 67 of the IPL 2022 edition, on Thursday evening (May 19) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

Ahead of the high-voltage GT vs RCB clash, Kohli is on the verge of achieving a major milestone. The 33-year-old, who has had an ordinary run in IPL 15, has a total of 6,943 runs (including his Champions League numbers) for the Bengaluru-based team (his sole franchise so far).&nbsp;Thus, he is 57 shy of entering the 7000-run club for RCB, also the first-ever to do so. In addition, he will become the first to breach the 7,000-run mark for any team which has been part of the IPL. For the unversed, Kohli&nbsp;is already the leading run-getter in the IPL (6,519), way ahead of second-ranked Shikhar Dhawan (6,205).

Rahul Tewatia and David Miller produced yet another chasing masterclass for Gujarat Titans (GT) as the Hardik Pandya-led side thrashed Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by six wickets in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Saturday. Tewatia and Miller combined to share an unbeaten stand of 79 runs for the fifth wicket and take GT over the line comfortably in the 171-run chase.

Asked to chase a tricky target, Gujarat Titans got off to a decent start as openers Wriddhiman Saha (29) and Shubman Gill (31) posted an opening stand of 51 runs before GT lost wickets in quick succession as the duo departed in successive overs. Captain Hardik Pandya was also dismissed cheaply on 3 off just 5 balls as RCB spinners Wanindu Hasaranga and Shahbaz Ahmed troubled the GT batters.

However, Tewatia and Miller continued their stellar form with the willow after arriving in the middle and closed out yet another thrilling run chase for their team. While Tewatia scored a quickfire 43 off 25 balls laced with two sixes and five fours, Miller scores 39 off 24 balls with the help of a solitary six and four fours.

The duo looked in complete control of the run-chase and ensured RCB had no chance of making a comeback in the game. They chased down the target of 171 runs with three balls to spare to ensure GT continued their unbeaten streak in the tournament. The table-toppers also retained their top spot with the win.

Kohli scored 58 off 53 balls laced with six fours and a solitary six as he added 99 runs for the second wicket with Rajat Patidar, who slammed a quickfire 32-ball 52.

IPL 2022: Rahul Tewatia, David Miller shine again as Gujarat Titans thrash RCB by 6 wickets

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they take on table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) in match no. 43 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Saturday (April 30). While RCB are currently on a losing streak of two matches, high-flying Gujarat Titans have so far lost only one game this season.

After a brilliant start to the season, Faf du Plessis-led RCB have faltered as they find themselves at the fifth spot on the points table with 10 points from nine matches. In their last outing, RCB were thrashed by 29 runs by Rajasthan Royals as Virat Kohli's woeful run with the bat continued in the tournament.

Kohli was yet again dismissed cheaply on just 9 runs despite being sent to open the innings with skipper Du Plessis. The change didn't work in RCB's favour as they failed to get off to a good start and fell short in the run chase. Besides Kohli, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell also has a couple of low-key scores in his last two matches.

While there remain concerns in their batting line-up, RCB bowlers have also been far from consistent as the likes of Harshal Patel and Mohammed Siraj have been taken for runs. Josh Hazlewood has been the most impressive so far for them in the pace department while Wanindu Hasaranga too hasn't been consistent in the spin department.

Gujarat Titans had pulled off a miraculous run chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game after sensational cameos from Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia. Opener Wriddhiman Saha also roared back to form with a brilliant half-century and will be hoping to keep the opening slot.
