Show key events

GT vs RCB LIVE: 100 up for RCB in 11.5 overs

100-run mark comes up for RCB in 11.5 overs. When Kohli got them off to a flying start, they would not have imagined to be in such a position. RCB's superb middle-order has failed to fire today.

RCB 100/6 (12)

GT vs RCB LIVE: OUT! RCB 6 down!

GONE! Another wicket falls! Another catch by Jason Holder! Krunal Pandya lasts just 4 balls. Arshad Khan gets his second wicket of the day. Soft dismissal, Krunal holds out to Holder at short mid-wicket.

RCB 6 down inside 11 overs!

RCB 96/6 (10.3)

GT vs RCB LIVE: OUT! RCB 91/5 after 10 overs

Tim David departs! RCB are losing wickets at a cluster now. Tim David falls just before the 10th over, as Rashid Khan strikes. It's another sharp catch by Jason Holder!

Mini-collapse here for RCB.

RCB 91/5 (10)

GT vs RCB LIVE: OUT! RCB 4 down!

GONE! Holder strikes with the ball! Jitesh Sharma was sent up the order today, but he departs after just 3 balls. Looks to drive at a ball outside off-stump, but ends up nicking it. Good diving catch by wicket-keeper Buttler.

RCB 80/4 (8.2)

GT vs RCB LIVE: SIX, OUT! Patidar departs!

What a catch by Jason Holder! Rajat Patidar looks to go big against Arshad Khan, having already slammed the first ball of the over for 6. However, he mistimes it, the top edge goes very high. Holder and Rabada nearly collide at deep fine-leg, but Holder keeps his calm and completes the catch.

There is still some sort of check going on. The decision stands. OUT! Even Virat Kohli is having a chat with the umpire. The RCB dugout don't appear convinced that the catch was taken cleanly.

RCB 79/3 (7.4)

GT vs RCB LIVE: FOUR, FOUR!

Top stuff from Devdutt Padikkal! He steps out and continues the charge after the powerplay, hammering Jason Holder for 4 through the off-side. Next ball, another 4 through the off-side.

The left-hander seems to be in the form of his life! 12 runs from Holder's first over.

RCB 71/2 (7)

GT vs RCB LIVE: RCB 59/2 after powerplay

Kagiso Rabada closes out the powerplay with another tidy over. Rajat Patidar gets another boundary despite a top edge, but Rabada concedes only 6 overall. Great comeback from the South African star after his expensive first over.

RCB 59/2 (6)

GT vs RCB LIVE: SIX, FOUR, FOUR! 50 up for RCB in 5 overs

Devdutt Padikkal on the charge! The in-form left-hander targets the leg-side and smashes Siraj for a 6 over deep square-leg, before hitting 2 more boundaries. 50 comes up for RCB in 5 overs.

RCB 53/2 (5)

GT vs RCB LIVE: FOUR! Patidar off the mark

Rajat Patidar is off the mark in style! Graceful straight drive to get off the mark. However, Rabada will be pleased with the over nonetheless. After being hit for 21 in his previous over by Kohli, he has now removed the RCB stalwart.

RCB 39/2 (4)

GT vs RCB LIVE: OUT! Rabada gets Kohli!

GONE! Rabada gets his revenge! Virat Kohli steps out and pulls but he is caught out by the bounce. He ends up miscuing it, and gets caught at square-leg by Rashid Khan, who grabs his second catch of the day.

Shubman Gill is the first one to come and hug Rabada. He knows that it's a HUGE wicket!

RCB 35/2 (3.2)

GT vs RCB LIVE: SIX, OUT! Siraj strikes!

GONE! Siraj strikes! Right after Virat Kohli slams a 6 over long-on, Mohammed Siraj hits back and removes Jacob Bethell. Soft dismissal. Bethell tries to nudge it through mid-wicket, but it's straight to Rashid Khan in the circle.

RCB 34/1 (2.4)

GT vs RCB LIVE: FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR! Kohli!

5 boundaries in an over! Unbelievable hitting from Virat Kohli, who is well and truly in the mood now. A pull through mid-wicket, then some gorgeous drives and cuts through the off-side. Kagiso Rabada has been sent to the cleaners in his first over.

RCB 27/0 (2)

GT vs RCB LIVE: FOUR!

Lovely from Jacob Bethell! That is as graceful a cover drive as you'll see all day. Width offered by Siraj, and Bethell gloriously drives it to the boundary. First 4 of the evening.

Nevertheless, a good over by Siraj. 6 off it.

RCB 6/0 (1)

GT vs RCB LIVE: Play begins!

We are LIVE! Jacob Bethell and Virat Kohli opening for RCB. Mohammed Siraj opening the bowling for GT, and he swings one away from the left-hander first ball. Bethell gets off the mark second ball.

RCB 1/0 (0.2)

GT vs RCB LIVE: Can Bethell play a big knock?

Jacob Bethell has shown glimpses of his talent so far, with cameos of 14 and 20, but is yet to set the world alight. Can he do so today? He'll have a big test against a multi-faceted bowling attack of GT.

Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE: GT playing XI

Gujarat Titans XI vs RCB: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Shahrukh Khan, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Manav Suthar, Mohammed Siraj.

Still no Prasidh Krishna for the Titans.

Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE: RCB playing XI

Royal Challengers Bengaluru XI vs GT: Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Suyash Sharma, Josh Hazlewood.

Bethell in the playing XI today. Expect Rasikh Dar to come on as the 'Impact Player'.

Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE: GT win toss, opt to bowl!

Gujarat Titans win the toss and opt to bowl! Rajat Patidar calls wrongly as the coin falls in favour of Gill. So, we're going to see Virat Kohli in action early!

Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE: Toss in 10 minutes

We are just 10 minutes away from toss time at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It'll be interesting to see what the toss-winning captain decides to do, but opting to bowl first is the likely decision.

Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE: RCB's major plus

A major positive for RCB has been the incredible form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. At the age of 36, Bhuvneshwar has arguably been RCB's best bowler this season, with 14 wickets in 8 games. He also has a great record against Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler, which GT would need to tackle.

Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE: Kohli vs Gill

All eyes will undoubtedly be on the clash between the two superstar batters in today's match: Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. Both men are their team's highest run-scorers so far. Kohli has 351 so far, while Gill has 330.

How Kohli and Gill perform today could play a decisive role in the outcome of the match.

Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE: Injury worry for RCB

There is still no clarity over RCB opener Phil Salt's fitness and availability. Bought for Rs 11.5 crore, Salt has missed RCB's last 2 matches. As a result, Jacob Bethell could get another game today. It will be interesting to see if Bethell features as an 'Impact Player' or in the playing XI proper.

GT vs RCB LIVE: RCB's in-form batting

While RCB's top order has been consistent as usual, with Virat Kohli in fine form, it is their explosive middle-order that has made the difference in many games. Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar and Tim David have all played some powerful knocks this year, and that has laid the foundation for RCB's success.

GT vs RCB LIVE: GT's excellent bowling unit

Gujarat Titans have had issues with their middle-order this year, but what hasn't been a problem is their bowling. Kagiso Rabada has led the charge with 13 wickets, while the likes of Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj have also bowled well.

The addition of Jason Holder in recent games has further strengthened the unit.

GT vs RCB LIVE: Why GT need to win

Gujarat Titans clinched a much-needed win in their last game, over Chennai Super Kings, and they must win today to stay in touching distance of the playoffs. Shubman Gill's side have 4 wins and 4 losses so far, but they are also 4 points behind the playoff places. A win would cut that gap down to 2, keeping them firmly in the hunt.
