Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) IPL 2026 Playing 11 Today Match, Squad, Players List: Gujarat Titans host a flying Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB had defeated GT just under a week earlier in the reverse fixture at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, chasing down a target of 207 with five wickets to spare. This was followed by them demolishing Delhi Capitals at the latter’s home, dismissing them for 75 runs and winning the match by nine wickets with nearly 14 overs to spare.
It has been a more topsy-turvy last few matches for GT. They beat Chennai Super Kings comprehensively in their last match, winning by eight wickets with 20 balls to spare. However, they lost two games in a row before that, including the one against RCB. Both teams have proven to be difficult sides to bat against in the powerplay. GT, however, arguably lag behind RCB in terms of batting depth and so the game may hinge on how well their bowlers are able to restrict the opposition throughout their innings.
