"Would have chased as well, looks a really good wicket. Need to put a good total on the board. We have batted decently, we lost by a difference of just one ball in the last game. This is the right time to peak for us."

"The wicket will be better later, so we will like to chase. With so many high scores the nature of this game has changed, our bowlers have been exceptional in the last two games. We have scored big with the bat, those are the changes. Maxwell comes back in, we have some firepower in the middle-order."

Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bowl against  Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2024 match on Sunday. 

"It's very hot today, 62m and 64m square boundaries while the straight boundary is at 72m. The wicket looks pretty good, but it's quite dry. It should spin a bit and will be consistent even if you're batting first or second. 180 could be a good score batting first, but both teams will rely heavily on spin and changes in variations," reckon Michael Clarke and Graeme Swann, in their pitch report.

The toss is just over 40 minutes away. This will be the fourth meeting between the two sides, with GT leading 2:1 on head to head.

GT Probable XI: Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill (c), David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma, Sandeep Warrier [Impact Sub: Sai Sudharsan]

RCB Probable XI: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal

Rashid Khan and Umesh Yadav are three and seven wickets away from the landmark of 150 IPL scalps. You can put your money on the former to achieve the landmark today. Only three overseas players have breached the mark so far.

Rajat Patidar has managed to turn around his fortunes this season with some solid knocks of late. He scored a quickfire 50 last time out vs SRH when others were struggling to time the ball. He has also struck at 225 against spinners this season. Can he continue his resurgance in IPL 2024?

Nonetheless, Kohli is chasing another big milestone. He needs 76 runs to complete 12,500 runs in T20s. He could become the first Indian batter to reach the landmark and only the fourth overall.

Virat Kohli's strike-rate has been a major topic of discussion this season. Against SRH last time out, he raced away to 23 in his first 11 balls, but he took 32 deliveries to score the next 28 runs

Good evening and welcome to our live blog of this IPL 2024 match between GT and RCB.
