RCB vs GT LIVE Score, IPL 2026 Qualifier 1: Gujarat Titans lost 5 quick wickets when Sai Sudharsan, who looked in good touch, was given out due to hit wicket before captain Shubman Gill was cleaned up by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Jos Buttler fell next as Josh Hazlewood castled him before Rasikh Dar snapped up Nishant Sindhu and Jason Holder as GT lost 5 wickets inside powerplay. Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar survived a dropped chance and made Gujarat Titans pay with a blistering 93* to help his team post 254/5 in 20 overs. Virat Kohli (43) and Krunal Pandya (43) chipped in with important cameos as Gujarat bowlers were put to the sword by the RCB batters.
Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to bowl first against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Dharamsala in their IPL Qualifier 1 encounter on Tuesday. RCB will field the same team while Kulwant Khejroliya has been drafted in for Arshad Khan in the Gujarat lineup.
The HPCA Stadium will pit both teams on level terms, sharpening and shrinking the varying areas of strengths for both RCB and GT. Peaking at perhaps the right time, Shubman Gill’s Gujarat have perhaps raised a mirror to the rest of the competition. Relying on absolute stability above overt aggression, the GT top-order has matched up some of the super frenetic batting groups in the competition this time. Armed with an equally potent seam-bowling attack led by the irrepressibles Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj, the Titans have emerged as a strong force to be reckoned with in the final stages of this edition.
