RCB’s Recent Form and Head-to-Head Record Against GT
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to face the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 14 of IPL 2025, marking their first home game of the season at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 2. The rivalry between the two teams has been closely contested, with RCB holding a narrow 3-2 edge over GT in their five IPL encounters so far.
In their last meeting during IPL 2024 (Match 52), RCB secured a four-wicket victory over GT. Gujarat, batting first, struggled to build momentum and were dismissed for 147 in 19.3 overs. RCB’s bowling unit delivered a collective effort, with Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal, and Vijaykumar Vyshak picking up two wickets each, while Cameron Green and Karn Sharma chipped in with one each.
Gujarat’s top order crumbled, with their first three batters failing to reach double digits. The middle order offered some resistance, with Shahrukh Khan (37 off 24), Rahul Tewatia (35 off 21), and David Miller (30 off 20) leading the recovery. Rashid Khan (18 off 14) and Vijay Shankar (10 off 7) provided minor contributions before RCB wrapped up the innings.
Chasing 148, RCB made light work of the target, reaching it in just 13.4 overs. Skipper Faf du Plessis led from the front with a blistering 64 off 23 balls, while Virat Kohli contributed 42 off 27 deliveries. Their 92-run opening stand set the foundation, though a middle-order collapse threatened to derail the chase. However, Dinesh Karthik (21* off 12) and Swapnil Singh (15* off 9) ensured RCB crossed the line comfortably. GT’s Joshua Little was the standout bowler, picking up 4/45, while Noor Ahmad claimed two scalps.
Gujarat Titans’ Last Match: Victory Over Mumbai Indians
Gujarat Titans registered their first win of IPL 2025 with a commanding 36-run victory over Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on March 29.

Mumbai’s bowlers had a mixed outing, with Hardik Pandya leading the attack with two wickets. Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Satyanarayana Raju picked up a wicket each.
Chasing 197, MI faltered early, losing Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton cheaply. Suryakumar Yadav (48 off 28) and Tilak Varma (39 off 36) attempted to stage a comeback, but the required run rate kept climbing. Hardik Pandya struggled for rhythm, scoring just 11 off 17 balls. Late cameos from Naman Dhir (18* off 11) and Mitchell Santner (18* off 9) were not enough, as Mumbai finished at 160/6.
