RCB vs GT IPL 2025 Highlights: Gujrat Titans defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by eight wickets
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will host Gujrat Titans in Match 14 of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025. The hosts have won back-to-back games so far in the tournament and are at the top of the points table. Among batters, Phil Salt, Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar have been sensational while Josh Hazlewood and Yash Dayal have been impactful with the ball.
For Gujarat, Sai Sudarshan has been extremely effective. The likes of Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have shown glimpses of their class but are yet to capitalize on their starts. With the ball, Sai Kishore has been brilliant and can play a key part against RCB on April 2 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
“I was a bit emotional. I was here for 7 years, changed jersery from red to blue and was emotional but once I got the ball I was fine. I am Ronaldo’s fan and hence the celebration. I had been playing consistently, but during the break I corrected my mistakes and worked on my fitness. Once I was picked up by Gujarat Titans, I spoke to Ashish Bhai. He (Nehra) tells me to go enjoy your bowling and Ishu (Ishant) Bhai tells me what line and length to bowl. My mindset is to have belief and then the pitch does not matter,” Siraj said at the post-match presentation.
