Gujarat Titans defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by four wickets after chasing 155. GT reached 158\/6 in 15.5 overs, sealing victory in a closely contested encounter after RCB were bowled out for 155.<\/p>\n
Gill sets the tone, GT win with comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n Gujarat Titans won the toss and chose to bowl at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. They did the job with the ball first, then let Shubman Gill do what Shubman Gill does attack from ball one.<\/p>\n Gill took 24 runs off Josh Hazlewood\u2019s second over of the chase alone. He looked in the mood to finish it before dinner. The captain was aggressive, precise, and completely in charge during the powerplay. GT reached 69\/2 in six overs and the chase, on paper, was as good as over.<\/p>\n Bhuvneshwar gives RCB a lifeline<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Bhuvneshwar Kumar reminded everyone why he still matters. He removed Gill for 43, took two more wickets, and suddenly GT were wobbling at 94\/3. Romario Shepherd chipped in with two wickets of his own, and RCB had taken six in total by the time the 16th over arrived.<\/p>\n For a moment, it got genuinely nervy. The middle order looked uncertain, the required rate was climbing, and RCB sensed a way back.<\/p>\n Tewatia steadies the ship<\/strong><\/p>\n That is where Rahul Tewatia came in. The impact substitute played a calm, measured hand, his highest score since the start of the 2025 season and made sure GT did not self-destruct chasing a modest target. Jos Buttler had earlier taken Suyash Sharma for three sixes in a single over, which meant the equation never became uncomfortable enough to cause a real crisis. Tewatia and Rashid Khan finished it off in the 16th over, four wickets in hand and 25 balls to spare.<\/p>\n What this means for both sides<\/strong><\/p>\n RCB batted first and were bowled out for 155 in 19.2 overs, the first time they have been dismissed this season. Arshad Khan took 3\/22, Rashid Khan was his usual miserly self with 2\/19, and Jason Holder was everywhere, three catches and two wickets on a night where he controlled the field as much as the ball.<\/p>\n Virat Kohli smashed five boundaries in a row off Kagiso Rabada early on, but his dismissal for 28 started a collapse that RCB never recovered from. A total of 155 on this surface was simply not enough.<\/p>\n RCB remain second in the points table. GT move to fifth, winning back-to-back matches and looking sharper for it. The revenge after their earlier five-wicket defeat to RCB is complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gujarat Titans defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by four wickets after chasing 155.
