Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the IPL 2024 match set to be played between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Background
GT vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2024: Hello one, hello all to our live coverage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match being played between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It is a battle between two teams that find themselves at the bottom half of the IPL 2024 points table. While Bengaluru are at the rock bottom of the table with 2 wins from 9 matches, Gujarat haven't been that consistent either with four wins from 9 matches that see them placed at the ninth place.
IPL 2024 GT vs RCB Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: It hasn't been as good a season for GT so far as they encountered in the last 2 years. With a new captain Shubman Gill at the helm of affairs for his franchise, some of the decisions that they have taken have also been questionable. Sandeep Warrier, for instance, ended up bowling only three overs in their last match against Delhi Capitals despite being their best bowler on the day.
As far as RCB are concerned, they can expect a challenge against spin yet again especially with no left-handers in their top seven. Other than the spin bowling duo of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad, GT also have the option of handing the ball to R Sai Kishore. Kohli's strike rate has only been 123.57 in contrast to 161.62 against the pacers. Rajat Patidar has been Bengaluru's best batter against spin while GT will be aiming a better performance with the bat when the fielding restrictions are on as that sets things up nicely for the rest of the RCB innings.
Overall, it promises to be an exciting contest. Can Bengaluru now stitch up some wins or will it be Gujarat who will end up bagging the two points in the first of the twin clashes on Sunday (April 28)? Let's find out over the course of the next few hours.
