Royal Challengers Bengalaru (RCB) will be up against Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 14 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season on 2nd April. RCB will be playing their first home game and are riding high on confidence after winning two games on the bounce against KKR and CSK. Meanwhile, GT is coming off a win against MI, and they will be eager to continue with this winning momentum.
GT outclassed MI in all the departments of the game in their 36-run win in Ahmedabad. Their bowlers, led by Prasidh Krishna, Kagiso Rabada, and Sai Kishore, were brilliant with the ball in hand. Batting has slightly looked patchy for GT, with skipper Shubman Gill yet to assert his dominance with the bat in hand. On the other hand, RCB has hardly put a foot wrong and would be eager to register their first home victory in front of a passionate Chinnaswamy crowd.
RCB vs GT Match Preview
Rajat Patidar's captaincy tenure has got off to a dream start as RCB brushed aside KKR and CSK with relative ease. Patidar has also looked in great touch with the bat in hand by registering scores of 34 & 51 runs. On both occasions, the RCB skipper's strike rate stood out as it was above 150. Apart from Patidar, Phil Salt is also in good form, as he has gotten RCB to rollicking starts in the company of Virat Kohli.
Bowling has looked solid for the team, with the likes of Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, & Yash Dayal amongst wickets. Often RCB gets criticized for their pathetic bowling display, but so far, all four bowlers have looked lethal. It is to be seen whether they maintain that same intensity at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, which always is a nightmare for bowlers.
On the other hand, GT's bowling is also looking in fine nick. They managed to restrict a powerful MI batting unit to a low score on a relatively batting-friendly surface in Ahmedabad. Prasidh Krishna has supported Mohammed Siraj and Rabada well. Also, Sai Kishore's wickets in the middle phase of the innings have eased some pressure on Rashid Khan.
However, GT openers Gill and Sai Sudarshan have been relatively slow to get off the blocks in the power play. It is here where GT has a chance to improve today against RCB.
