It is a high-stakes game in the Indian Premier League where King Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Prince Shubhman Gill’s Gujarat Titans. The game will be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on 24th April from 7:30 pm onwards. The last 5 games between these two have been won by the team chasing the target.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are coming into the game with a loss against the Delhi Capitals in the last game. They have 4 wins in 6 games and are currently in third place with 8 points. RCB has scored more than 200 runs in four of these six games. The only issue they are having is with their bowling unit, which has taken 25 wickets in the last 4 games.
The Gujarat Titans are currently in the sixth position with three wins in 6 games. They suffered a massive 99-run loss in the last game against the Mumbai Indians. Though the bowlers have done a fabulous job by picking up 45 wickets in 6 games (75%), Shubhman Gill is currently their only lone warrior in the top three scorers with 265 runs.
In the last season, the Gujarat Titans triumphed over the RCB at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Bowling first, they restricted RCB to 169 for the loss of 8 wickets. Mohammed Siraj derailed his former team by picking up 3 wickets. In return, Jos Butler scored an unbeaten 73 runs in 39 balls to help GT win the game by 8 wickets. This was the fifth consecutive instance between these two where the team chased the target successfully.

The Royal Challengers lost the last game to the Delhi Capitals as the middle order failed to accelerate. Philip Salt had set a strong benchmark earlier with 63 off 38. But RCB managed to score just 43 runs in the last 45 balls of the game. They faced a similar outcome while bowling, as they couldn’t manage to put pressure on Delhi after Bhuvaneshwar picked up three wickets in his first two overs.
Philip Salt will open the innings with Virat Kohli. In the last game at Chinnaswamy, the duo scored 52 off 5 overs. Kohli scored 19 to take his tally to 247 runs with a strike rate of 158. He can be the batter to watch out for. Salt has two half-centuries in the last 3 games and overall 204 runs in 5 innings. Devdutt Padikkal will come in at number three. Paddikal scored half-centuries in the first 2 games. Since then, he has had 42 runs in the next 3. Not a good sign for RCB!
Rajat Patidar will come in the middle with Tim David, Jitesh Sharma, and Romario Shepherd. Patidar has been named as the spin killer for this season. He has 230 runs at a strike rate of 212.96 - the highest among all, and is just below Abhishek Sharma in terms of hitting sixes (22). He and Tim David can accelerate the innings in the middle. David has 173 runs at a strike rate of 203.52.
Jitesh Sharma and Romario Shepherd are having a tough season. Sharma has 52 runs in 5 innings, while Shepherd has 39 runs in 4. Shepherd gave 17 off the last over in the last game, which cost RCB their second defeat. Is this an opportunity for Jacob Bethell?
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the bowling attack with Josh Hazlewood and Krunal Pandya. Kumar took 3 wickets in his first two overs of the last game. He is their leading wicket-taker with 10 wickets. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Krunal Pandya has 8 wickets in 6 games with an economy of 8.57. Though Hzelwood has just 3 wickets in 3 games, his experience can add spice to the bowling. Rasikh Salam will be the substitute bowler. He has taken 5 wickets in 3 games at an economy of 8.03 - the lowest among the bowlers.
Key Players: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar.
Rajat Patidar Total Sixes Over 1.5 @ 2.33
Rajat Patidar has smashed a total of 13 sixes in four matches at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium this season. He has hit over one four in three of the four matches. He is in sublime six hitting form this season and we back him to clear the rope more than one time in today's match against Gujarat Titans.
Powerplay Score Over 60.5 @ 1.83
The home team RCB scored 76, 51, 69, and 59 in the powerplay overs this season at Chinnaswamy, with their overall season average sitting at around 65 runs. We back RCB to score over 60 runs in the first six overs in today's match against GT.
Total Sixes Over 10.5 @ 1.95
RCB are averaging a staggering 11.75 sixes per match this season at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. They are an outstanding six-hitting side with power hitters throughout their batting lineup up until number seven. With the short boundaries at Chinnaswamy and their aggressive intent from the first over, the over 10.5 sixes line is extremely well supported by both their season average and their home record.

Gujarat Titans suffered their highest margin defeat in the history of the IPL. Chasing 199, they were bowled out to 100. While only 4 batters managed to score past 10, Rabada was the only bowler who proved his place by picking up 3 wickets. Sai Sudharsan will open the innings with Shubman Gill. Sudharsan went on a first-ball duck in the last game. He has 135 runs in 6 games at a strike rate of 145. Gill has 265 runs in 6 games with three half-centuries at a strike rate of 151.42. He will be the batter to watch out for.
Jos Butler will come in at number three. Butler has 206 runs in 6 games at a strike rate of 156 - the highest among the batters. Gujarat’s middle-order is being criticized not for the first time. Washington Sundar is the only batter in the middle who has scored more than 100 runs. With Tewatia scoring 49 and Phillips scoring 67 in 6 games, they have exposed Gujarat’s reliance on the top-order.
Prasidh Krishna will lead the bowling attack with Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Rashid Khan, and Ashok Sharma. Krishna is their leading wicket-taker with 12 wickets. While Rabada has 10 wickets in the same games. Rabada picked up 3 in the last game. He will be th e bowler to watch out for. Siraj, Rashid, and Sharma have picked up 6 wickets each. Overall, the Titans have tested just 5 bowlers.
Key Players: Shubman Gill, Prasidh Krishna, Kagiso Rabada.
Jos Buttler Total 4's Over 2.5 @ 1.72
This is one of the safest bet's for this match that you can bank on Jos Buttler to hit over 2.5 fours. Buttler is averaging 4.16 fours per match this season and against RCB across the 16 matches he has played Buttler is averaging 3 fours per match.
Shubman Gill Total 4's Over 3.5 @ 2.00
Shubman Gill has hit a total of 27 fours this season, averaging 5.4 fours per match. He is the 5th in the Orange Cap list this season and is in really good form. Given his current run of form, we back Gill to hit over 3.5 fours in today's match.
Powerplay Score Over 56.5 @ 1.83
Gujarat Titans have had a tougher time in the powerplay with inconsistency at the top, averaging 57.66 runs and losing at least one wicket in most matches. They are also a good side, who can take the attack to the opponent bowlers early on, especially on good batting tracks.
Total Sixes Over 8.5 @ 2.00
Gujarat Titans are averaging around 6 sixes per match overall this season, but at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium that figure rises to 9 sixes per match. They have not been a particularly high six-hitting side in away fixtures, but the short dimensions at this ground open up different scoring options and we back them to clear the rope over 8 times in tonight's contest against RCB.
Total Fours Over 16.5 @ 1.85
Gujarat Titans are averaging 17.5 fours per match this season and around 16 fours per match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. They are a strong boundary-hitting side who predominantly play risk-free cricket and consistently find the gaps. Expect the Titans to hit over 16.5 fours in today's match against RCB at a ground where boundary scoring comes easily.

We back the total to go over 18.5 in tonight's fixture.
Gujarat Titans to win the coin toss @ 1.90
We back the Gujarat Titans to win the coin toss in today's match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
It is a batting-friendly pitch. In the last 4 IPL games played here, the teams have chased the targets on 3 occasions. The team winning the toss would bowl first.
Kohli has 28 boundaries in 6 games - the highest among all the batters. He has scored 297 runs in the last 5 games against the Gujarat Titans. In the last season, the Gujarat Titans' top order scored 2024 runs in 15 games. But this year, they haven’t repeated the magic except for Shubhman Gill. Gujarat’s bowlers have been average this season. On the other hand, RCB bowlers have picked up 82% wickets in 4 games played at Bengaluru.
We predict that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru will defeat Gujarat Titans!
