IPL 2026 GT vs RCB Playing 11: Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans will square off against Rajat Patidar-led Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 42nd match on April 30 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru has been in fine form, securing 6 wins out of 8 games, while Gujarat Titans had a mixed campaign, having four wins out of 8 games.

With RCB sitting in the second position, the Gujarat Titans secured 5th position in the IPL 2026 points table.

The sides have met on 7 occasions, where the Gujarat Titans have three wins while the RCB have four wins.

Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking on the toss, GT captain Shubman Gill said, “We are going to bowl first. Looks a little dry, a little patchy. The first four or five overs can give us a bit of swing in the first innings and just in case if there’s any dew, we always like to chase it.”

“Very important two points are this for you. Yes, we have got,the next two games, including this one at home. So I think these two games are gonna determine where we stand and how far we go in the tournament.”

“So the boys are ready to go. They are the defending champions. They’ve been playing some really good cricket. So hopefully it’s going to be a one heck of a game. I think after the last match, the mood is pretty nice, nice and breezy, nice and light.”

“And I think it’s all about, giving everything that you have, having the right attitude and putting in as much effort as you can. We’re going with the same team,” concluded Shubman Gill.

Meanwhile, RCB captain Rajat Patidar said, “Obviously, we were looking to field first, but to be honest, I think in an IPL, I think there are good wickets to bat on.

“And so we’ll put a good total on the board and give them under pressure. I think the way we are playing, the way we played first off of this IPL, I think that was very good to see. As I said, every player came and stood up for the team and done it for the team.”

“(Every game you see someone new stepping up. That’s always a good sign?) Definitely. It’s a positive sign for us. And as a captain and as a team, if you look at it, different players coming in in the different match, I think it’s a positive sign and we are looking forward for it.
