After a dominant victory in Chennai, our Titans are back home as we welcome Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in our upcoming TATA IPL 2026 clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 30. The highly-anticipated GT vs RCB clash will start at 7:30 PM IST.
Led by our talismanic captain Shubman Gill, our Titans will head into the crucial game brimming with confidence after delivering an all-round performance to register an eight-wicket win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday.
Our South African speedster Kagiso Rabada led the charge with three wickets, while Arshad Khan bagged two important scalps as we restricted CSK to 158/7. Apart from Rabada and Arshad, Mohammed Siraj and Manav Suthar chipped in with a wicket each.
In reply, our ever-dependable openers Sai Su and Gill made batting look easy on a tricky surface, as our stylish duo played with positive intent to set the tone early in the Powerplay.
With our previous win behind us, we have now set our sights on the upcoming clash against the defending champions at Gujaratno Gadh, aiming to carry forward the winning momentum.
