All eyes will once again be on Virat Kohli who smashed 81 runs in the M Chinnaswamy against Gujarat in their last encounter, negating Sai Sudharsan’s 100 runs in the first innings for the Shubman Gill-led side. Devdutt Padikkal also starred with a blistering 55 for RCB as they made short work of GT’s 205-run target.

The last time RCB came to this stadium was in the last year’s IPL where they finally broke their trophy jinx, defeating Punjab Kings in the final to win their maiden title. With Kohli and co looking in imperious form, they’ll hope to prevent an upset at the same stadium tonight.

GT vs RCB IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score: Praveen Kumar on Bhuvneshwar Kumar

It’s easy when you apply your brain and figure things out by yourself. The things you grasp on your own stay in your mind. You try, you fail, the lessons stay with you,” he says. Like, if he moved the bowling arm away from the ear, the ball would swing away. If it hit his ear, it would nip into the right hander.

GT vs RCB IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score: Praveen Kumar on Bhuvneshwar Kumar

"I had a natural in-swinger when I was young. I kept on bowling it in the nets and one day, I swung the ball the other way. I asked myself what I was doing differently, I started observing the minor changes in run-up, grip and release. Then I figured out what I was doing differently, and you become your own analyst and critic,” he said.

GT vs RCB IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score: Sanjay Manjrekar on Virat Kohli

This 150 strike-rate was 125-130 three to four years back. It was only because Virat Kohli would hit a boundary and then pick up a one or a two. After all, he wanted to extend his innings and play longer because he felt he had to be the man to bat for most of the innings and didn’t trust the batters down the order," Manjrekar said.

GT vs RCB IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score: Sanjay Manjrekar on Virat Kohli

“This is, again, going to rile up Virat Kohli fans. We have seen Virat Kohli bat differently, bat superbly this season – at a strike rate of 140-150. This is the same Virat Kohli; there is nothing that has changed,” said Manjrekar to Sportstar.

“It is only that he has decided that he is going to bat quicker. And why has he decided that? Because he could see the pressure building and people talking about him batting a little too slowly," he added.

GT vs RCB IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score: What did Parthiv Patel say ahead of game

"As far as preparation is concerned, I can definitely tell you that we make sure that they are well prepared. We have those facilities here where we can do our open nets and stuff like we had that session yesterday with our lower middle order or our middle order. So we try and give them as much (time) as possible. We have full faith in them and we are making sure that they are ready for the important games and hopefully if the situation comes around, they should be able to deliver."

GT vs RCB IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score: What did Andy Flower say ahead of game

"Obviously things came together so quickly and so well that the game was over in the blink of an eye. So it was great to watch those two great bowlers bowl, Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood, and then obviously we had an easy small chase so the game was over quite quickly. And I think, to be honest, you've got to treat the wins and losses with a fair degree of equanimity because with losses you don't want to get too down and the same principles apply to wins. So I don't think it's a huge challenge, to be honest."

GT vs RCB IPL 2026 Live Score: Hello and welcome

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to take advantage of Punjab Kings' slip up and pip themselves over the Shreyas Iyer-led outfit to go on top of the points table with a win over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This is the same stadium where RCB won their maiden IPL title last year and they'll hope to continue their run wwhen the face the Titans tonight. Follow our blog for live score and updates.

The fall of batsmanship, the resurgence of classical pacers: Delhi Capitals’ collapse against RCB says it all

Those that inevitably cry foul at the fall of Indian Test cricket after more disappointment – two whitewashes at home within a year signal that the fall has already begun – must be shown the powerplay overs of Delhi Capitals’ innings against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday.

On the 19th ball of the innings, Nitish Rana pulled out what is almost certain to be the most novel of all of his shots of this IPL season. Josh Hazlewood sent down a snorter, landing just on the back of a length from around the wicket and threatening the edge, and Rana – IPL veteran, alleged T20 marauder – lifted his bat, content to see it pass by him.
