IPL 2026 GT vs RCB Pitch Report, Weather Forecast
Gujarat Titans take on defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru once again, this time at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday. GT are still searching for answers to recurring issues in their campaign.

With four wins and four losses from eight matches, GT sit mid-table, but their position does not fully reflect the imbalance in their performances.

Top Order Carries GT’s Batting

GT’s batting has largely depended on their top three, Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler—who continue to be their primary run-scorers. The lack of consistent support from the middle order remains a concern.


RCB Enter With Strong Momentum

RCB come into this clash in excellent form, having secured six wins from eight matches. Their confidence is boosted by a dominant nine-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals.

In that game, Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar combined to take seven wickets, bowling Delhi out for just 75. If the duo can dismiss Gill, Sudharsan, or Buttler early, GT’s middle order will face a stern challenge.

Weather Report: Clear Skies Expected

The weather in Ahmedabad is expected to remain clear, with no chances of rain interrupting the match.
