The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have a head-to-head record of 3-2 against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL. The sixth RCB vs GT encounter between the two sides will take place on April 01, 2025, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
In the 2025 season of the tournament, Bengaluru is sitting at the top with two successive victories. In both the away games, the 2016 runners-up breached the fortress and their previous victory against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium after nearly 17 years.
During the first six overs of the innings, RCB managed 130 runs at an average of 130, losing just one solitary wicket at a strike rate of 180.56. They nailed 16 boundaries and 10 over boundaries at the best score of 80 that they collected in the opening game against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens.

Virat Kohli didn’t look fluent in the previous contest against the Chennai Super Kings before the RCB vs GT contest, but he will be eager to contribute with Phil Salt at the top during the first home game of the edition.
Gujarat Titans have decided to open with captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, with Buttler coming at number three. In the first game against the Punjab Kings, Sudharsan wasn’t up to the task, with just 21 runs in 25 balls during their 240+ run chase. But the Tamil Nadu player showed the firepower in the previous fixture against the Mumbai Indians.
GT has smashed 122 runs across two innings at a strike rate of nearly 170, shouldering on 10 boundaries and seven sixes at the best score of 66 runs. They have lost just one wicket in the 12 overs of the powerplay in the first two games and may look to attack a bit more in the RCB vs GT clash.
