Today’s IPL Match: RCB vs GT Prediction, Head-to-Head, Bengaluru Pitch Report and Who Will Win?
Virat Kohli is back in form and so are RCB. After their loss in the final-ball thriller vs KKR, RCB have managed to stitch two confident wins in a row against SRH and GT – both away from home. The team will now return to Bengaluru and play their reverse fixture against Shubman Gill’s Gujarat. In the last game, Kohli and Will Jacks put in a tremendous partnership to chase down 200 runs against the famed spin attack of GT. While Kohli as unbeaten at 70, Jacks scored a terrific stroke-filled hundred. RCB will hope for the same, given they still have kept their playoffs hopes alive in the Indian Premier League at the moment. Captain Faf du Plessis has spoken about the side’s mentality and how much strength they have shown to make a comeback after an extremely poor start. The RCB unit seems confident of their approach and one would hope that they put in a strong performance in the back end of the tournament. Shubman Gill’s Gujarat have lost way in the IPL after their strong start at home and are currently in the 8th spot in the league table. Gill was not picked up in the main squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 and will hope that he is able to avenge the selection call. The batter has been far from his best this season but has shown glimpses of his prolific 2023 form. There can be no better ground than Bengaluru to return to form and Gill would hope for a statement outing today.
