Royal Challengers Bengaluru comfortably chased down the 206-run target against Gujarat Titans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. With the win in Match No.
34 of IPL 2026 on Friday, April 24, RCB have now moved to the second spot of the points table, with 10 points in seven matches.
This also marked the final home game in Bengaluru for the Rajat Patidar-led side, as they will play the rest of the season either on the road or in Raipur (for the last two home games).
The game started with Sai Sudharsan launching an elegant onslaught for his 58-ball 100 while opening alongside captain Shubman Gill (32 off 24). Cameos from Jos Buttler (25 off 16), Jason Holder (23 off 10), and Washington Sundar (19 off 12) steered the Titans to a total of 205, where they lost only three wickets on a track that was behaving very slow in the first half. Old gold Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1-31) was the star with the ball for the RCB.
There was a Virat Kohli masterclass written all over the terrific run chase completed by RCB, as the star batter scored 81 off just 44 deliveries – a superlative knock that included eight fours and four sixes. Kohli was ably supported by Devdutt Padikkal, who hit 55 off 27 in an innings laced with only two fours but six huge maximums. Padikkal's dismissal ended the 115-run partnership with Kohli for the second wicket, with Rashid Khan striking the breakthrough in the 13th over.
Five balls after Padikkal made his way back to the huddle, Kohli followed suit, as Jason Holder got the better of his defence, with the batter chopping the ball onto the wickets. From there, a win for the hosts was only a formality, though, as Krunal Pandya (23 off 12) hit the winning runs with his impactful cameo at the fag end of the match.
