GT vs RCB Highlights, IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans edge out Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 4 Wickets

Suyash Sharma to Rahul Tewatia, Shorter and on off, Tewatia angles it wide of point and gets to the other end. 24 more needed for GT.

Suyash Sharma to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Gets it away! Looped up, slower and fuller, on middle, Rahul Tewatia gets into the position for the reverse and swings at it ungainly. Gets it off an under edge but fine of the man at short third for four more. Not sure GT would want Tewatia to take such a risk.

Suyash Sharma to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Too short and put away! A half-tracker, on middle and leg. Tewatia needs no second invitation as he rocks back, swivels and pulls it to the left of deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

Suyash Sharma to Rahul Tewatia, Rapped on the pads! Pushed through, across off, Tewatia sinks to a knee for the sweep and gets hit on the pads but outside the line of the off stump.

Suyash Sharma to Rahul Tewatia, Slips in the googly, full and on off. Tewatia dabs it beside the strip on the off side. He is keen for a single but Holder sends him back as Patidar was quick on the ball from slip.

Suyash Sharma to Jason Holder, Tossed up, full and on middle. This is eased to long on for a single.

Suyash Sharma is back on, replacing Josh Hazlewood in the attack.

Romario Shepherd to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! 34 more runs required for GT with that boundary. Shepherd pitches it up, around the pads of the batter. Rahul Tewatia rolls his wrists and tickles it away toward the deep fine leg fence. End of an eventful over. Two wickets and 13 runs from it.

Romario Shepherd to Jason Holder, Hard-length delivery, around off, Jason Holder guides it to third man and gets a single.

Romario Shepherd to Jason Holder, SIX! Off the mark in style! Romario Shepherd bangs this one on the deck to offer a bouncer on middle and leg. Jason Holder rocks back and hooks it over Josh Hazlewood at long leg for a six.

This game isn't over yet, it seems. Jason Holder walks out to bat next.

A loud appeal for LBW is turned down. Seems pretty adjacent if there's no inside edge on it and Rajat Patidar does send it upstairs. Let's see what the third umpire finds...

Romario Shepherd to Washington Sundar, OUT! LBW! Two in the over for Romario Shepherd, and RCB's belief grows stronger. On a good length, on off. Sundar brings his bat out in front to defend. The ball skids through to go past the inside edge and catches Sundar on the crouched back leg on the flap of the pad. A prolonged appeal, and Romario is pleading with the umpire, but it is turned down. RCB are confident, and Rajat Patidar sends it upstairs. No bat involved on UltraEdge. This looks straight, but where has this pitched? The Ball Tracking comes up as three reds with the ball crashing into the top of the off stump. 109/3 becomes 111/5 for the Titans.

Romario Shepherd to Rahul Tewatia, Much fuller, on the stumps, Rahul Tewatia nudges it to the leg side and gets a single.

Romario Shepherd to Rahul Tewatia, WIDE! Romario Shepherd offers a bouncer, but it flies way over the batter. Rahul Tewatia makes a leave and gets the bonus run for the team.

Mohammed Siraj is substituted by Rahul Tewatia

The next batter in is Rahul Tewatia. He comes in as the Impact Sub for GT, replacing Mohammed Siraj.

Romario Shepherd to Shahrukh Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! A steepler, but Josh Hazlewood holds on. Shepherd bangs it in short, over off. Shahrukh swivels and swings hard for the pull but the ball kicks up a bit to take the top edge. It is skied towards deep fine leg, where Hazlewood keeps his eyes on the ball as he looks to settle under it. The ball is swerving in the air, and Josh seems to have it covered, but at the last moment, he has to lean forward. He gets both hands out in front and clings to the ball. GT lose their 4th wicket for 109, needing 47 more runs. Can RCB sneak in another quick wicket?

Halfway through the chase, it is GT's game to lose from here.

Josh Hazlewood to Shahrukh Khan, A single to end and Josh Hazlewood finishes his spell with figures of - 4-0-56-0, a very rare expensive and wicketless spell for 'the Hoff.' Slower one, into the pitch, Khan nurdles it down wide to the right of the bowler and wants the single. There is some hesitation from Washington Sundar at the other end, but once the ball beats the bowler, they get the single with ease.

Josh Hazlewood to Shahrukh Khan, FOUR! Not perfectly timed but Shahrukh throws caution to the wind and picks up a boundary. Hard length around middle, Khan advances down the pitch and lofts it back over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Josh Hazlewood to Washington Sundar, Fuller in length, drifted onto the pads, Sundar stays crouched and works it way behind square leg for one more.

Josh Hazlewood to Shahrukh Khan, A bit shorter and straighter, worked off the hips and past square leg for a single by Shahrukh Khan.

Josh Hazlewood to Shahrukh Khan, Back of a length, over the off stump, Khan stays back and plays it late, dabbing it down to backward point.

Josh Hazlewood to Shahrukh Khan, Play and a miss. A full ball outside off, Khan charges at it and looks to go through covers but the ball beats the outside edge.

Romario Shepherd to Washington Sundar, DROPPED AND SIX! A really tough chance, and Venkatesh Iyer hasn't managed to grasp it. Shortish length on middle and leg, Washington Sundar gets inside the line and hoicks it off the midriff towards deep square leg. Iyer is a bit more inside the fence and has to go back and move to his left as well. Iyer tries to reach up with one hand, but the ball just brushes the fingertips and goes over the fence.

Romario Shepherd to Washington Sundar, Fuller, around off, Washington Sundar dabs it to mid-wicket. 

Romario Shepherd to Washington Sundar, Good-length delivery, around off, Washington Sundar knocks it to mid off.

Romario Shepherd to Shahrukh Khan, Back of a length, on the fourth stump. Shahrukh Khan opens the face of the bat and steers it to the left of the backward point fielder, who fumbles and the batter gets the single.

Romario Shepherd to Washington Sundar, On a length, on leg and middle, Washington Sundar nudges it with soft hands to long on for a single.

Romario Shepherd to Washington Sundar, Romario Shepherd scoots from over the wicket to the left-hander and delivers on a hard length, just outside off. Washington Sundar rocks back and punches it straight to the point fielder.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Washington Sundar, Around the top of off and middle, wristed down to deep fine leg for a single by Sundar. 62 needed now off 72 balls.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Washington Sundar, Hard length again, on middle and off, Washington Sundar prods halfway and pushes it down to mid off.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Shahrukh Khan, On a hard length, hitting the deck and this is bowled outside off. Shahrukh Khan stays upright and hits it wide to the right of deep backward point for a single.

The Royal Challengers have the big scalp of Jos Buttler. Shahrukh Khan walks out to bat with the Titans needing 64 runs from 75 balls. This is a test of Gujarat's middle order.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Bhuvneshwar Kumar has completely outfoxed Jos Buttler on this occasion. Bhuvi sees Buttler getting across to the off side once again and spears in a yorker on the leg stump. Bhuvi nails the yorker and Buttler looks to flick but ends up playing all around it. The ball rattles into the leg pole and Kumar has his third wicket of the game. The top three are now all dismissed for GT.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Bhuvi drags the length back a couple of inches, but again, Buttler moves to the off side and works it behind square on the leg side for a couple of runs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Lovely timing from Jos. Length ball, trying to slant it back into the stumps. Buttler gets ahead and gets across to the off side, tucking it away neatly past mid-wicket and the ball races away to the fence.

STRATEGIC BREAK! No shortage of action in the first 7 overs of the chase. RCB have managed to dismiss Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill, but not before Gill unleashed himself on their new-ball attack. Jos Buttler has carried the momentum forward, and GT have already knocked off more than half the target. With 70 needed off 78 balls, it is now about batting sensibly from here, from the home side's perspective. RCB need a couple of quick wickets, and more than anyone, the wicket of Buttler. That could inject belief into their camp, considering that GT's middle order has not inspired much confidence so far this season. Rajat Patidar brings back Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his final over.

Suyash Sharma to Jos Buttler, Pitches it up, around off, Jos Buttler pushes it to wide of cover for a single. Not a great start from Suyash Sharma. 17 runs from his first over!

Suyash Sharma to Washington Sundar, Serves the googly and it is slower, on a good length. Sundar punches it to deep cover for one.

Suyash Sharma to Jos Buttler, Pushed through, on a length, on the pads. That is flicked off the back foot to long on for a run.

Suyash Sharma to Jos Buttler, SIX! And again. The runs continue to flow for GT. Full-length delivery, just outside off. Jos Buttler plants his front foot forward and gets right underneath the delivery to park it over the long off fence for another massive six.

Suyash Sharma to Jos Buttler, SIX! Up, up and over! Sharma offers a bit of flight this time, pitching it fuller, on off. Jos Buttler clears his front foot and launches it over long on for a six.

Suyash Sharma to Jos Buttler, WIDE! Suyash Sharma has to reload that one. Pitches it up, but darts it down the leg side. Jos Buttler looks to sweep it but misses.

Suyash Sharma to Washington Sundar, Suyash Sharma jogs from over the wicket and bowls much fuller, wide outside off. Washington Sundar leans on the delivery and drives it to deep cover for a single.

End of a lively Powerplay. It is time for spin as the leggie Suyash Sharma has been tossed the ball.

Josh Hazlewood to Jos Buttler, SIX! Even better from Buttler and GT end the Powerplay at 69/2. A length ball from Josh, angled in at the stumps. Buttler just gets under the trajectory of the ball and clobbers it down the ground, over long on for a biggie.

Josh Hazlewood to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Up and over. Pitched fuller around off, Jos Buttler takes a stride back into the crease and puts his hands through the ball, nailing it over wide mid off for a boundary.

Josh Hazlewood to Jos Buttler, Similar length, straighter this time, Jos dabs it into the leg side.
