IPL 2026 RCB vs GT: Pitch report, highest score, Chinnaswamy Stadium stats

Gujarat Titans suffered a heavy setback in their previous outing, going down by 99 runs against Mumbai Indians.

In Match 34 of IPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will lock horns with Gujarat Titans. RCB skipper Rajat Patidar has won the toss and elected to field first on the night.  RCB have been in strong form this season and currently sit third on the points table with four wins from six matches. However, they head into this fixture on the back of a six-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals. 

 

Batting first, Bengaluru managed 175 runs, but Delhi chased down the target in the final over. Phil Salt led the batting effort with a fluent 63, while Tim David added a quick 26. With the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar stood out with figures of 3/26 in his four overs, and Krunal Pandya also contributed with a wicket. 

 

 

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans also suffered a heavy setback in their previous outing, going down by 99 runs against Mumbai Indians. Mumbai posted 199 while batting first, and Gujarat were bundled out for just 100 in reply. Their top order collapsed early, failing to provide a solid foundation while chasing a steep target.

 

Washington Sundar offered some resistance with a 26-run knock, but he lacked support from the other end. Among the bowlers, Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the lot, finishing with 3/33 in his four overs, while Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj chipped in with one wicket each.
