Skipper Shubman Gill’s quickfire 43 runs off 18 balls propelled Gujarat Titans to a successful chase of 156 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Gill’s aggressive start, including boundaries off Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, set the tone as GT raced to 36 without loss in just two overs.
Sai Sudharsan’s brief contribution was cut short by Bhuvneshwar, but a dropped catch by Jitesh Sharma allowed Jos Buttler to capitalize. Despite losing Gill, Buttler’s attacking play and partnerships with Washington Sundar and Shahrukh Khan kept GT on track, eventually securing victory with 25 balls to spare.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s three-wicket haul stood out for RCB, while Romario Shepherd claimed two wickets in a losing effort. The match showcased a thrilling display of power-hitting and strategic partnerships, with GT emerging victorious with six wickets in hand.
