Inn Break
That’s a wrap on this contest as Gujarat Titans hand Royal Challengers Bengaluru their first defeat of the season with a dominant all-round performance. Next up in the Indian Premier League, the action shifts to Eden Gardens, where Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 15 on Thursday, 3rd of April 2025. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but don’t forget to tune in early for all the pre-match buildup. Until then, it's goodbye and see you soon for another thrilling encounter!
Mohammed Siraj is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his outstanding spell of 3/19. He says he was emotional and nervous at the start, going up against RCB, but as soon as he got the ball in hand, it all went well. Mentions that the break he got from cricket gave him enough time to boost his confidence and understand where he was lacking. Adds that Ashish Nehra gives him a lot of freedom to go out and express himself, and he learns from the rest of the bowlers in the side too. Concludes that as a bowler, it is mandatory to have the belief to perform well, no matter which wicket they play on.
The captain of the Gujarat Titans, Shubman Gill, expresses his delight about the dominating win. Adds the wicket in Bengaluru plays differently every time. Says sometimes it plays like a 250 wicket, and mentions it was helping the pacers a bit and was stopping at times as well. Says that they knew if they pick early wickets, they will get ahead in the game. On the fielding errors, he says it was disappointing, but you have to grab the opportunities. Says they batted professionally and were clinical throughout. Adds it is all about adaptability, and he is hopeful to continue with this momentum.
It's time for the Presentation Ceremony...
Jos Buttler from Gujarat Titans is in for a chat next. He says he really enjoyed and the bowlers bowled really well, and had they fielded well, they would have had to chase an even smaller total. On his dropped catch, he says he was very embarrassed by that and wanted to make up for it with the bat. Mentions that he tries to play with positive intent after a few gloomy months and wants to do well for the new franchise. Concludes that they as a team have got a lot of bases covered.
The captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajat Patidar feels they fell 15-20 runs short, but admits that early wickets caused a lot of harm to them. Mentions that the intent was good, but they lost too many in the Powerplay. Adds that their bowlers bowled well. Says they put the hard work for a total which was a bit challenging to defend. Highlights that taking the match till the 18th over was amazing to watch from the bowlers. Mentions it was amazing to see the way Jitesh Sharma, Liam Livingstone, and Tim David batted in the backend. He is confident about the batting line up and hopes to be on the positive side next time around.
Earlier in the game, Gujarat Titans came out firing, wreaking havoc with the new ball and reducing RCB to a precarious 42/4. Just when the innings seemed to be slipping away, Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma came together to steady the ship, forging a crucial 52-run stand. Livingstone then shifted gears, unleashing his power-hitting to notch up a vital half-century, while a late flourish from Tim David provided RCB with the finishing kick they needed, pushing them to a respectable 169. For Gujarat Titans, Mohammed Siraj was the standout bowler, leading the charge with three crucial wickets while Sai Kishore chipped in with two in the middle overs.
For Royal Challengers Bengaluru, it was a day to forget. Their batting faltered early, and their bowlers struggled to build any real pressure. While there were some positives to take away, they fell short in key areas and will need to regroup quickly. As for the Gujarat Titans, this was a near-perfect win, though their fielding lapses remain a concern they will need to address moving forward.
Sai Sudharsan was unfortunate to fall just one run short of a well-deserved fifty, but Buttler ensured there were no stutters. He went on to reach his half-century and, with Sherfane Rutherford at the other end, finished the job with ease, sealing the win in style.
Chasing a modest 170, especially at a venue like Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans always had the upper hand. Their openers took a measured approach early on, assessing conditions before shifting gears. While Shubman Gill fell cheaply, Sai Sudharsan once again showcased his class, anchoring the innings with yet another crucial knock. His 75-run partnership with Jos Buttler broke the back of the chase, with the latter providing the firepower.
Gujarat Titans edge past Royal Challengers Bengaluru, handing the hosts their first defeat of the season while notching up their second consecutive victory. It was a clinical all-round effort from GT, dismantling an RCB side that came into their first home game brimming with confidence. They win by 8 wickets and with 13 balls to spare.

Strategic Break! Gujarat Titans are on the brink of sealing their second victory of the season with a commanding all-round performance. After an exceptional bowling display earlier in the evening, their batting unit has backed it up brilliantly. Jos Buttler is leading from the front, expertly guiding the chase, while Sherfane Rutherford provides solid support at the other end. For Royal Challengers Bengaluru, it has been a tough outing, especially with the runs they leaked in the middle overs. Now, they find themselves staring at their first defeat of the season, needing nothing short of a miracle to pull this one back. Barring something extraordinary, it’s only a matter of when, not if, GT wraps this up. Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes back into the attack.

OUT! CAUGHT! The change of ball does the trick for Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sai Sudharsan falls one run short of what could have been his third consecutive half-century this season.

The ball isn't that full and he ends up lobbing it to the right of the keeper. Jitesh Sharma moves ahead quickly and takes a fine catch low to his right to see the back of Sudharsan.

The fourth umpire walks out with the briefcase full of replacement balls. Can this bring in change in fortunes for them? Here's Josh Hazlewood (2-0-18-1) into the attack again.

With a modest target in sight, GT remain in control, but Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be desperate for a breakthrough to inject some life back into the contest. Their bowling hasn't been too bad, but with just 94 more runs to defend, they need to strike quickly, or this chase could slip away from them in no time!
