All-round Gujarat Titans hammer Royal Challengers Bangalore

In what was arguably their most underwhelming performance since the start of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered an embarrassing four-wicket at the hands of Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 30. Having mustered up just 155 runs in the first half, RCB were subjected to an aggressive Shubman Gill onslaught that kicked them out of the game, handing the defending champions their third defeat of the season.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar bagged his fifth three-wicket haul of the season, removing the top order, even as Jos Buttler’s cameo put the chase beyond doubt. Gujarat Titans stay home to host Punjab Kings on Sunday, May 3. Royal Challengers Bangalore enjoy a six-day break before they face Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow next Thursday, May 7.
