Royal Challengers Bengaluru 2nd Innings Scorecard

Key Partnerships — RCB 2nd Innings

The Kohli-Padikkal partnership of 115 was the decisive passage of play. GT dropped Kohli on 0 in the opening over, a miss that proved expensive as he went on to score 81.

Player of the Match: Virat Kohli 81(44)

Kohli's innings included 8 fours and 4 sixes at a strike rate of 184.09. He anchored the chase while Padikkal attacked freely, and the pair added 115 for the second wicket. His knock is now part of a broader record: RCB have now successfully chased 200-plus five times in IPL history, with two of those coming against GT.

B Sai Sudharsan's Century: Match Impact

Sudharsan's 100 off 58 balls was the innings that set this match up. He hit 11 fours and 5 sixes, controlling 80% of his shots. His century gave GT a competitive total, but RCB's batting depth meant 205 was ultimately not enough. In practice, totals in this fixture have consistently been chaseable regardless of size, which reflects a broader trend in this rivalry.

Season-by-Season Results: RCB vs GT in IPL 2022–2026

Note: Granular scorecard details for IPL 2022–2025 fixtures are not fully confirmed in available data. Season and result totals are based on confirmed H2H records.

What is confirmed: RCB hold a 4-3 lead, and the Gujarat Titans IPL record in this fixture shows three wins, all coming when they batted second.

The Chasing Team Pattern: All 7 Matches Won Batting Second

This is the single most unusual stat in the RCB vs GT head-to-head record. Seven matches. Seven wins for the chasing team. Four by RCB, three by GT.

Why Does the Chasing Team Keep Winning?

Three factors help explain this pattern.

First, pitch conditions. As noted in data from Wikipedia's profile of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the venue is a historically batting-friendly surface where teams batting second hold a clear statistical advantage across IPL history. Dew in evening matches makes the ball harder to grip for bowlers, spinners lose purchase on a wet surface, and the ball comes onto the bat more easily in the second innings. This consistently favours the chasing side.

Second, both teams carry deep batting lineups. RCB have Kohli, Padikkal, Patidar, Tim David, and Krunal Pandya. GT have Gill, Buttler, Sudharsan, Holder, and Tewatia. Neither side folds under pressure, which means a chase is always on.

Third, the toss. In this fixture, the team winning the toss has consistently elected to field. That tells you something about how captains read these conditions. They would rather know the target than set one.

Top Run-Scorers in Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans Stats

Based on confirmed and available match data, here are the batters who have performed most consistently in this fixture.

Virat Kohli's Record Against Gujarat Titans

Kohli has been RCB's most reliable batter in this fixture across seasons. His IPL 2026 knock of 81(44) came after being dropped on zero, a moment GT captain Shubman Gill acknowledged post-match.

According to Wikipedia's list of IPL records and statistics, Kohli holds the record for the most runs scored in IPL history overall, with 9,336 runs across all seasons — a number that reflects both his longevity and consistency at the highest level of T20 cricket.

His average in chase situations and his record at Chinnaswamy specifically make him GT's most dangerous opposition batter in this rivalry. Teams commonly report that containing Kohli in the powerplay is the key tactical challenge in this fixture.

B Sai Sudharsan's Record Against RCB

Sudharsan's century in the April 2026 match was his highest score against RCB. He has shown a consistent ability to build innings rather than rely on early aggression, which makes him harder to dismiss in the middle overs. His 100 off 58 balls in IPL 2026 came with an 80% control percentage, meaning he was playing proper cricketing shots rather than swinging hard.

Shubman Gill's Record Against RCB

Gill has faced RCB as both a batter and a captain. In IPL 2026, he scored 32 off 24 before being dismissed, providing a platform that Sudharsan built on. His record in this fixture is solid but not dominant.

Top Wicket-Takers in RCB vs GT Head-to-Head Matches

Rashid Khan vs RCB Batters

Rashid remains GT's primary weapon in this fixture. Even when he does not take wickets, his presence forces batters to play cautiously. In IPL 2026, he returned 2/49 in four overs, an economy of 12.25 that reflects how freely RCB batters played on the day. His two wickets were still match-relevant, though not enough to stop the chase.

RCB's Bowling Approach Against GT

RCB's strategy in IPL 2026 was built on disciplined death bowling. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hazlewood nailed their yorkers in the 17th-19th overs, limiting GT to 205 when 220-plus looked possible midway through their innings. In practice, RCB's most effective phase against GT has been the death overs, where their pace attack has consistently outperformed their middle-over spinners.

Powerplay and Phase-Wise Stats: RCB vs GT

Phase-wise data specifically for the April 24, 2026 match.

Full over-by-over phase breakdowns are not available in publicly accessible ball-by-ball records for this fixture at this time.

What is clear from the scorecard: GT's opening partnership of 128 (Gill + Sudharsan) was built largely through the powerplay and into the middle overs. RCB's key partnership of 115 (Kohli + Padikkal) also came in the middle phase. Both teams score heavily in the middle overs in this fixture, which puts pressure on death bowlers on both sides.

Death Overs: RCB's Yorker Discipline

RCB's bowlers restricted GT to manageable totals in the 17th-19th overs through disciplined yorkers. Rashid Khan's 12.25 economy for GT in the RCB chase suggests RCB batters were not afraid to take him on. The death over patterns in this fixture consistently favour whichever side executes their plans better on the night.

Venue-Wise Performance: RCB vs GT

Note: Full venue-by-venue data for all 7 fixtures is not confirmed in available records. Chinnaswamy figures reflect IPL 2026 and at least one earlier encounter.

RCB at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium vs GT

RCB's home record against GT at Chinnaswamy is a strong one. In IPL 2026 alone, RCB won 4 of their 5 home games at this venue, with the April 24 win over GT being their 50th win at Chinnaswamy across IPL history (including Super Over wins). That milestone is worth noting.

Home conditions suit RCB's batting-heavy lineup. The flat Chinnaswamy surface, combined with dew and a large home crowd, consistently creates conditions where 200-plus chases are achievable.

GT at Narendra Modi Stadium vs RCB

GT's home record against RCB is less dominant than expected for a home side. RCB chased down a target in Ahmedabad in IPL 2024, adding another data point to the chasing team dominance pattern.

Notable Records and Milestones: RCB vs GT Rivalry

A few numbers stand out across this fixture's short but eventful history.

RCB's Successful 200-Plus Chases in IPL History

Two of RCB's five successful 200-plus chases in IPL history have come against Gujarat Titans. That is not a coincidence. It reflects how the RCB vs GT head-to-head stats tend to produce high totals and successful chases.

IPL 2026 Points Table: RCB and GT After April 24

After this match, both RCB and GT sat on 18 points from 14 games, level on wins. RCB hold a superior NRR of +0.783 compared to GT's +0.695, giving RCB the edge in playoff qualification positioning at this stage.

What This Win Means for RCB
