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

GT vs RCB Highlights, IPL 2026: Opting to field first, the Titans initially struggled to contain Virat Kohli, who looked in vintage touch. Kohli’s aggression was on full display when he hammered Kagiso Rabada for five consecutive boundaries in a single over. However, the momentum shifted when Mohammed Siraj dismissed Jacob Bethell, and Rabada exacted revenge by removing Kohli for 28. Devdutt Padikkal maintained the tempo with a brisk 40, but the RCB middle order crumbled under pressure. Arshad Khan’s three-wicket haul, supported by the clinical spin of Rashid Khan and the experience of Jason Holder, saw RCB slide from a promising start to a modest total of 155 all out.The Titans' response was nothing short of explosive. Captain Shubman Gill signaled his intentions immediately, dismantling the world-class opening duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood. His 43-run cameo came at a staggering strike rate, providing the perfect platform for the chase. Even though Sai Sudharsan fell early and Gill was eventually caught by Kohli off Bhuvneshwar, the foundation was set. Jos Buttler, benefited by a dropped catch from Jitesh Sharma, contributed a vital 39 to keep the pressure on the visitors.The match saw a brief period of tension when RCB’s bowlers fought back. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s masterclass in swing bowling accounted for Buttler, while Romario Shepherd removed Washington Sundar and Shahrukh Khan in a single over to leave GT at 109/4. A controversial dismissal of Rajat Patidar earlier in the game had already heightened the stakes, but Rahul Tewatia remained unfazed. Partnering with Jason Holder, Tewatia navigated the tricky middle overs. Even after Holder’s late dismissal by Suyash Sharma, Tewatia’s unbeaten 27 ensured GT crossed the finish line comfortably, ending the match in the 16th over and reinforcing their status as a powerhouse in IPL 2026.
