IPL 2025: RCB vs GT head-to-head stats and analysis for today's match

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will play their first home game of the season at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium tonight (April 2) against Gujarat Titans (GT).

Despite the Women’s Premier League (WPL) concluding three weeks ago, the persistent heat and dryness have made the pitches appear drier than usual.

RCB, having secured back-to-back wins to kick off their campaign, will be pleased with this start—something they have only achieved twice before, in 2014 and 2021.


In previous seasons, this notion of no home advantage could have affected RCB. However, this time may be different. Last year, they made a remarkable run to the playoffs, winning three out of their last six games at home consecutively.

Against the raucous crowd support for RCB, GT will need to explore various combinations. Should Jos Buttler open alongside Shubman Gill to enhance their powerplay?

With David Miller not retained and Rahul Tewatia not in his prime hitting form, they risk over-relying on their top order. However, their bowling attack has the potential to deliver. Prasidh Krishna returns home, having played for Karnataka, and Mohammed Siraj returns to a venue that was his IPL home for seven years.

RCB have three wins out of five against GT but their record at home isn't the best. They've mustered only one win of the three matches they have played at this venue.

GT won their first-ever match against RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2022 before recording a 197-run chase against the hosts in IPL 2023. RCB's only victory against GT at home came last year, clinching a four-wicket win.
