The <\/span>Gujarat Titans (GT)<\/span> delivered a clinical performance on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, defeating the defending champions, <\/span>Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)<\/span>, by 4 wickets. In a match that showcased GT\u2019s bowling depth and aggressive batting intent, the house side successfully chased down a modest goal of 156 with 25 balls to spare. <\/span><\/p>\n This victory was particularly sweet for the Titans, because it avenged their earlier defeat to RCB in Bengaluru and provided a big boost to their net run rate. Winning the toss and electing to bowl first, GT captain <\/span>Shubman Gill<\/span> saw his decision vindicated because the RCB batting lineup struggled for the primary time in <\/span>IPL 2026<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n Although <\/span>Virat Kohli<\/span> briefly threatened with a brisk <\/span>28 off 13 balls<\/span>, including five consecutive boundaries off Kagiso Rabada, the momentum shifted rapidly after his dismissal. <\/span>Devdutt Padikkal<\/span>top-scored for RCB with <\/span>40 off 24 balls<\/span>, but a middle-order collapse saw the visitors slide from 71\/2 to 96\/6. <\/span><\/p>\n GT\u2019s <\/span>Arshad Khan<\/span> was the standout bowler, claiming <\/span>3\/22<\/span>, while the experienced <\/span>Jason Holder<\/span> and <\/span>Rashid Khan<\/span> took two wickets apiece to bundle RCB out for <\/span>155<\/span> in 19.2 overs.<\/span><\/p>\n Listed below are some twitter reactions:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/maina_singhx77\/status\/2049907115507200193?s=46<\/a><\/p>\n GT Has Defeated Chokers And Criminals RCB.
