Gujarat Titans (GT) will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Thursday, April 30, at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Gujarat Titans have had a mixed start this season. They have played eight matches, winning four and losing four, placing them fifth in the IPL 2026 points table. With eight points, a win against RCB won’t boost their position due to a negative net run-rate (NRR) of -0.475.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru, in contrast, have shown impressive form and play like the defending champions they are. Like GT, RCB has also played eight games, winning six and accumulating 12 points. A victory on Thursday would secure them the top spot in the standings.
