RCB vs GT Live: Here’s what Rajat Patidar said at the toss

“Would’ve bowled first as well because it’s a new surface. It’s pretty hard and won’t change much. The way boys are chipping in gives a lot of confidence as a captain. We love this crowd. The way they love us and the support we’ve always received is incredible. Same team,” said Rajat Patidar. 

RCB vs GT Live: Here’s what Shubman Gill said at the toss

“We’ll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket. We’ve seen the conditions don’t change much. We’re all about reducing our unforced errors. We’ll try to finetune the areas that need it. Kagiso misses out due to personal reasons so we’ve got Arshad Khan back,” said Shubman Gill. 

RCB vs GT Live: Toss

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bowl against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2025 match in Bengaluru. 

RCB vs GT Live: Here’s what Liam Livingstone said before the match

“Very confident. Great start to the tournament, two games on the road, we said about making a strong start as it helps in the later stages, hopefully we can carry it on here. It is our first chance to play in front of our home fans, everybody is really excited, we have been waiting for this day for a long while now, hopefully we can go out and put on a show. I enjoy both (batting and bowling). I feel like I can contribute with both these days, bowling might be a little difficult at this ground than what it is away from home, excited for the challenge and hopefully I can contribute with both tonight. There hasn’t been much dew when we have trained. We don’t know what the pitch is going to happen, try and assess the conditions with whatever we do first,” said Liam Livingstone. 

RCB vs GT Live: Here’s what Sherfane Rutherford said before the match

“First of all, I want to thank everyone for the opportunity to be playing in the IPL, it’s always great to be playing in this tournament, as a team we’re in a good space, we’ll take 1 (win) from 2 on any day. Unfortunately for me, it hasn’t been a good start, I think I could have done better, but it’s a lot of learning and a lot of positives, I think I can keep learning as the days go by. It definitely did a lot for us (on the win in the last match), after the first half, we felt we were 10-15 runs short, but the bowlers adapted well on a slow surface, it’s all about improving in small areas and doing better tonight,” said Sherfane Rutherford. 

RCB vs GT Live: Pitch report

“It’s pitch number 6 which wasn’t used last year. 68m and 61m square boundaries, the straight boundary is 73m. 68m and 74m pockets on either side of the straight boundary. The wicket looks pretty dry, but there could be good bounce. It’s well covered with grass and the pitch looks firm. It does look like a very good track, the ball should come on nicely. Toss doesn’t really matter with 197 being the average first innings total, local knowledge says that dew could be a factor later on,” opine Murli Kartik and Matthew Hayden, in their pitch report.

RCB vs GT Live: Rabada vs Kohli

Kagiso Rabada has a good head-to-head match-up against Virat Kohli in all T20s, bagging his wicket four times in 14 innings while limiting his strike-rate to an appreciable 113. In short, the team whose bowlers adapt better to the conditions has better chances of coming out on the right side of the result.

RCB vs GT Live: RCB’s strong openers

Ace batter Virat Kohli and Englishman Phil Salt have already shown signs of being in perfect sync with each other while stitching together stands of 95 and 45 in the last two matches, and they could be even more dangerous at the Chinnaswamy. Gujarat will require an early wicket or two before RCB, the current table-toppers, run away with the match, and they will expect Rabada to do the job.

RCB vs GT Live: Injury blow for GT?

OHHH!!!! Ahead of the big match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans are likely to miss the services of their star opener Sai Sudharsan. The batter is recovering from a hamstring injury and it won’t be a surprise if he misses today’s match. 

RCB vs GT Live: Siraj against RCB

Gujarat Titans pace duo of Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj, who migrated to GT from RCB through last year’s auction, will be looking to soften the Bengaluru top order with some early blows so that the spinners can do their job without much pressure.

RCB vs GT Live: GT’s strong bowling

Gujarat Titans have two proven campaigners in their spin attack in Rashid Khan and R Sai Kishore. Their battle with RCB batters such as Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, skipper Rajat Patidar, a very fine player of spin, and Devdutt Padikkal will have a huge bearing on the outcome of the match.

RCB vs GT Live: Can RCB bowlers control run flow in Bengaluru?

The short boundaries and a quick outfield add to the misery of the bowlers, but the Royal Challengers will believe that they have two bowlers who can contain batters here — Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

RCB vs GT Live: VIrat Kohli eyes big feat

Royal Challengers Bengaluru star batter Virat Kohli will be eyeing huge feat in this match against Gujarat Titans. He needs 24 runs more to complete 13,000 runs in T20 cricket. He will become the first Indian batter to achieve this feat. Former West Indies captain Chris Gayle is at the top with 14562 runs in 463 T20 matches. 

RCB vs GT Live: Homecoming for RCB

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s desire to make their home-coming a memorable occasion pivots around an experienced bowling unit maintaining its excellent form when they face Gujarat Titans. The bowlers played a big hand in RCB taming two traditionally tough opponents in Kolkata and Chennai but now they face a different challenge at home against the Titans.
