RCB vs GT Head-To-Head Records & Key Stats (IPL 2026)

GT vs RCB Overall IPL Head-to-Head Record

The 4-3 split across 7 matches tells a clear story of how tightly fought this rivalry is — RCB’s edge is just one match. RCB’s highest total of 206/5 was set on April 24, 2026 at Chinnaswamy, when Kohli (81) and Padikkal (55) chased down GT’s 205/3 with 7 balls to spare. GT’s highest stands at 205/3 in the same match, anchored by Sai Sudharsan’s classy 100 off 58. GT’s lowest of 147 came in IPL 2024 at Chinnaswamy, where RCB’s Mohammed Siraj (2/29), Yash Dayal (2/21), and Vyshak Vijaykumar dismantled their batting in a 35-run thrashing. The April 24, 2026 fixture is the most recent meeting before this April 30 rematch in Ahmedabad.

GT vs RCB Recent Match Results

The momentum pattern in this rivalry is remarkable for how it shifts every season. RCB swept both 2024 fixtures with comprehensive wins (4 wickets at Chinnaswamy and a stunning 9-wicket Will Jacks-led demolition at Ahmedabad). GT bounced back in IPL 2025 with an 8-wicket win at Chinnaswamy where Mohammed Siraj struck against his former franchise. The April 24, 2026 chase put RCB ahead again — but interestingly, three of RCB’s four wins have all come while chasing, while two of GT’s three wins have also come in chases. This is fundamentally a chasers’ rivalry.

GT vs RCB Venue-Wise Head-to-Head Breakdown

The most surprising venue stat in this rivalry — GT have won 2 of 4 matches at Chinnaswamy, meaning RCB’s home ground hasn’t been the fortress they’d hoped against this opponent. Gill’s 104* in 2023 and GT’s 8-wicket demolition in 2025 are the standout away wins. RCB’s only meeting at Narendra Modi Stadium produced one of their most dominant performances — Will Jacks’ 41-ball century powered them to a 9-wicket chase of 200 in just 16 overs in IPL 2024. The two debut-season meetings in 2022 came at neutral Mumbai venues (Brabourne and Wankhede), splitting 1-1 evenly. For the April 30, 2026 clash in Ahmedabad, GT will be looking to break RCB’s perfect record at this venue.

Top Run-Scorers in GT vs RCB Matches

Virat Kohli’s 432 runs across 7 matches make him the undisputed leader of this rivalry — averaging over 60 with one century, four fifties, and the highest aggregate by some distance. His 101 off 61 in the 2023 century duel and 81 off 44 in the April 24, 2026 chase show he saves his best for this opponent. From GT’s side, Sai Sudharsan has crossed the 200-run mark in this rivalry after his 100 on April 24, while Shubman Gill’s 104* off 52 from 2023 remains the highest individual score in this rivalry’s history. Faf du Plessis has contributed key knocks for RCB including his explosive 64 off 23 in IPL 2024 — the fastest fifty in this rivalry. David Miller’s 55* from the 2022 chase remains a reminder of GT’s title-winning DNA in their inaugural season.

Top Wicket-Takers in GT vs RCB Matches

Mohammed Siraj leads the wicket charts with 8 scalps across 5 innings — and crucially, he switched from RCB to GT ahead of IPL 2026. His 2/29 in IPL 2024 was the spell that bowled GT out for 147, RCB’s most dominant performance in this rivalry. Joshua Little’s 4/45 is the best individual bowling figure in any GT vs RCB match — he produced it in IPL 2024 at Bengaluru. Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan have each taken 4 wickets for GT, showing how spin has been just as vital as pace in this rivalry. From RCB’s side, Wanindu Hasaranga leads with 3 wickets — his short stints with the franchise still produced match-defining spells. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who took 1/31 in the April 24 match, is now climbing the chart for RCB.

Highest and Lowest Totals in GT vs RCB History

The most striking fact in this table is that both the highest totals were posted in the same match — the April 24, 2026 encounter at Chinnaswamy, where GT posted 205/3 (Sai Sudharsan 100, Gill 32, Buttler 25) and RCB chased it down with 206/5 (Kohli 81, Padikkal 55, Krunal 23*). That single game produced 411 combined runs, the highest-scoring match in this fixture’s short history. GT’s lowest of 147 came in IPL 2024 when RCB’s pace trio dismantled their batting, while RCB’s lowest stands at 169 from IPL 2025 — a total that GT chased down comfortably with 8 wickets in hand. Both lowest totals coming at Chinnaswamy is unusual for a venue otherwise known as a batting paradise.

Most Memorable Moments in GT vs RCB Rivalry

The Gill 104 vs Kohli 101 Century Duel at Chinnaswamy, 2023:* The greatest match in this rivalry and one of the finest batting duels in IPL history. Kohli scored an unbeaten 101 off 61 to anchor RCB’s 197/5, but Gill responded with 104* off 52 to chase down the target with 5 balls to spare. The only match in GT vs RCB history where both teams produced a centurion. Gill needed 8 fewer balls and hit 7 more sixes than Kohli — a symbolic passing of the Indian batting baton.

Will Jacks’ 41-Ball Century at Ahmedabad, 2024: RCB’s most dominant performance in this rivalry came in their late-season revival. Faf du Plessis blasted 64 off 23 (still the fastest fifty in this rivalry), while Kohli added 42 off 27 as the pair put on 92 in the first 6 overs. Then Will Jacks took over with a 41-ball hundred, and RCB chased 200 in just 16 overs to seal a 9-wicket win — the fastest successful chase in GT vs RCB history.

RCB’s 147 Demolition at Chinnaswamy, 2024: Mohammed Siraj (2/29), Yash Dayal (2/21), and Vyshak Vijaykumar combined to bowl GT out for just 147 — the lowest total in this fixture. Du Plessis then blasted 64 off 23 to lead RCB’s chase in just 13.4 overs, completing a 4-wicket win that was effectively a 35-run thrashing on margin of dominance.

GT’s 8-Wicket Demolition at Chinnaswamy, 2025: Mohammed Siraj struck against his former franchise in the powerplay, restricting RCB to 169. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler then chased it down comfortably with Sherfane Rutherford finishing brutally — GT won by 8 wickets with more than 2 overs to spare. That result levelled the all-time H2H at 3-3 and proved GT can dominate even at Chinnaswamy.

Sudharsan vs Kohli at Chinnaswamy, 2026: The most recent meeting on April 24 saw Sai Sudharsan smash 100 off 58 — but ended on the losing side as Kohli’s 81 off 44 and Padikkal’s blistering 55 off 27 chased down 206 with 7 balls to spare. RCB’s win extended their season-series lead and pushed the all-time record back to 4-3 in their favour.

GT vs RCB Head-to-Head Match Type Breakdown

The most painful insight for GT in this breakdown is the home record — they’ve played just one IPL match against RCB at Narendra Modi Stadium, and lost it by 9 wickets in IPL 2024. That makes the April 30, 2026 fixture only the second-ever GT vs RCB encounter at Ahmedabad, and GT will be desperate to claim their first home win in this rivalry. Bengaluru is the more hotly contested venue at 2-2, while neutral venue meetings (both from the 2022 debut season at Mumbai) split evenly 1-1. For GT, the April 30 clash represents a chance to write fresh history at a venue where they’ve yet to beat RCB.

IPL 2026 Context — What’s at Stake

Gujarat Titans come into this fixture in mixed shape — 4 wins and 4 losses across 8 matches, sitting fifth on the points table after recovering from the 99-run defeat to MI with a comprehensive win over CSK on April 26. Sai Sudharsan leads the batting with 322 runs at SR 163.45, Shubman Gill has 330 runs at Avg 47.14, and Prasidh Krishna’s 12 wickets give them one of IPL 2026’s most balanced bowling units. However, the loss of psychological edge from the April 24 defeat will hurt.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru arrive in similar mixed form (L-W-W-L-W in last 5) but with the freshest psychological win — their 5-wicket victory over GT on April 24 keeps them in the playoff hunt. Virat Kohli leads the IPL 2026 batting charts with 328 runs at Avg 54.66 (Orange Cap contender), Phil Salt has 202 runs at SR 168.33, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 11 wickets at Econ 8.25 make their new-ball attack genuinely dangerous. The gt vs rcb head to head today stands at 4-3 heading into the April 30 clash — and GT have a chance to back up their 2025 win and level the season series 1-1, while RCB look to back up their April 24 win and take the season series 2-0 for the first time in this rivalry.
