The Royal Challengers have been in dominant form this season, with their two defeats coming in the face of an incredible run chase from the Rajasthan Royals followed three matches later by a thrilling defeat by the Delhi Capitals with just one ball to spare. The Titans have blown hot and cold this season but have won and lost a couple of really close matches, so it’s hard to predict what their next match might hold for them.

The Titans are struggling to find consistency while the Royal Challengers are playing with great confidence.

Head-to-Head Record

Season	Winner	Margin of victory	Competition
2026	Royal Challengers Bengaluru	5 wickets	IPL
2025	Gujarat Titans	8 wickets	IPL
2024	Royal Challengers Bengaluru	4 wickets	IPL
2024	Royal Challengers Bengaluru	9 wickets	IPL

The Titans pulled off a great win over the Challengers in their title-winning season in 2025, but Kohli’s classy side have beaten them in three of their last four matches. There’s been an interesting trend developing of the side batting second claiming the win in clashes between the two teams.

Team News

Gujarat Titans: The Titans are quite reliant on their top-order, but the good news is that their bowling attack is starting to fire, led by in-form Kagiso Rabada.

Possible XI: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Shahrukh Khan, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Manav Suthar, Prasidh Krishna, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The Royal Challengers have arguably the strongest squad in the IPL, although they will be hoping that their middle order finds consistency with the bat.

Possible XI: Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Jitesh Sharma, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Mangesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma.

Key Stats

Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudharsan has scored 100 & 87 in his last 2 knocks.
Gujarat Titans’ Shubman Gill has scored 56, 86, 32 & 33 in his last 5 innings.
Gujarat Titans’ Kagiso Rabada is joint 5th on the IPL wickets list (13 wickets, S/R 14.3).
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli has scored 50, 49, 19, 81 & 23* in 5 innings.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Jacob Bethell has scored 21, 105, 14 & 20 in 4 knocks.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar is 1st in the IPL wickets list (14 wickets, econ 7.6).

Match Analysis

Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium plays host to a batting-friendly pitch that usually serves up consistent bounce and good pace off the track. With the batting talent on offer in both sides we’re likely to see scores north of 190.

There should be the usual assistance upfront for the pacemen before it settles down. Evening dew will make the decision to bowl first easy for the skipper who wins the toss.

The larger boundaries help to balance out the battle between bat and ball and should limit the number of sixes hit, although there will likely be plenty of twos on offer with the field spread out across the larger outfield.

The last match at the stadium was 10 days ago, when the Mumbai Indians cracked 199/5 off their 20 overs before rolling the Titans for 100 inside 16 overs. There were 11 sixes hit in the match, with just one coming from the Titans.
