IPL 2024, GT vs RCB Match Highlights: Kohli & Jacks Dominate; The 'Titans' Ship Sinks At Ahmedabad

GT vs RCB Live Score: Bye bye! 🫡

A stunning game that kept you, me and probably also Virat Kohli on the edge of our seats. Hats off to the entire RCB team, it was an all-round performance from the entire team that helped them clinch a victory against Gujarat Titans.

And with that, I say goodbye to you, and hope to see you soon! This is your host, Muskaan Bhatt logging off! Adios! 

GT vs RCB Live Score: All RCB fans today 🤭

King Kohli just like all RCB fans was in shock tonight during the final overs of the game (BCCI)

GT vs RCB Player Of The Match: Will Jacks

Will Jacks wins the POTM award for his jaw-dropping century off 41 balls against Gujarat Titans that helped RCB dominate the home-team in the 16th over itself. 👏🏻

GT vs RCB Live Score: Virat Kohli talking about Will Jacks 🤩

"Phenomenal, initially when he came to bat, he was annoyed that he wasn't able to strike the ball as he wanted to. The only talk was to for him to stay calm, we know how explosive he can be when he gets going. The over from Mohit was the game changer, I was just happy to stay around and watch him go. I thought we would win in 19 overs, but to do it in 16 was absolutely brilliant. 

The wicket did start to get better as the first innings wore on, the ball was coming nicely onto the bat. There's a reason why you do it for 15 years, for me, it's only about doing the work, people can talk anything they want to, they can talk about me not able to push on, not playing spin well, but you yourself know the game better. We wanted to play more for our self respect, we want to play for the fans who have backed us, we know we haven't played up to the standards required (so far in the tournament), we know we can do a lot more better and it's something which we'll try and do."

GT vs RCB Live Score: This match in a picture 🤩

Will Jacks and Virat Kohli finish off the match in just 16 overs. What a game to witness.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Royal Challengers Bengaluru Win By 9 Wickets 🤩

Royal Challengers Bengaluru register a comprehensive nine-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans, who sink further in IPL 2024. Credit to Virat Kohli and Will Jacks for their impressive effort!

By the halfway point, RCB stood at 98/1, with Kohli dominating and securing another half-century. Jacks surged in the 15th over, especially against Mohit and Rashid Khan, smashing sixes effortlessly, leaving GT struggling to contain him. Kohli, despite his excellence, was overshadowed by Jacks' explosive performance.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Absolute carnage at Ahmedabad!

Will Jacks, woooowww! What a player!! What a hitting!!! What a crazing batting this Englishman has shown today at Ahmedabad. 29 runs off Rashid Khan, for the second time in two overs. Jacks literally overshadowed Virat Kohli, who was going all guns blazing intially, in the last couple of overs to help RCB finish off in a brink of an eye.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Will Jacks making the Titans pay!

4,6,6NB,6,4: Will Mohit Sharma break his own record of most expensive IPL spell? Well anything is possible... until Jacks is on strike. What an over has it been for RCB. Will Jacks has completely obliterated Mohit with his back to back power-hits.

A very costly over by Mohit! 29 runs off it. RCB require 24 off 30 balls. 

GT vs RCB Live Score: Noor goes back empty-handed!

Noor Ahmed has to go back wicket-less this evening. He hasn't been of any luck for GT.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Can the Titans pick up a wicket?

GT need to break this partnership quickly and keep things tight to put pressure on RCB. Kohli is batting on 66 runs off 41 balls, while Jacks is on 25-ball 37 runs. 

GT vs RCB Live Score: Will Jacks is swirling the willow like he owns it! 🫡

SIX! Jacks smashes it into the stands! RCB are dominating right now! The ball delievred was short and aimed at the stumps, practically begging to be hit. Jacks eagerly accepted the invitation, effortlessly rocking back and unleashing a mighty pull shot that sailed over deep mid-wicket for a colossal six.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Maahi nahi, aaj toh Kohli maar raha hai! 

First a four and then a maximum, that too he slog sweeps it from the middle of the bat using his wrists. The Lion is Roaring! Noor Ahmed gives away 13 runs in the 12th over.

RCB need 78 runs off 48 balls. 

GT vs RCB Live Score: Will Jacks joins in!

A beautiful boundary by the Englishman. So beautifully done!

GT vs RCB Live Score: FIFTY FOR THE CHASEMASTER! 🤩

Another fifty for Virat Kohli. This time he reaches the milestone in 32 balls. A legend for a reason, he's called the chasemaster for a reason. Virat Kohli smashes his way to yet another milestone in the IPL, notching up his 54th half-century! His stellar form this season shows no signs of slowing down!

It's a good time to be alive. It's a good time to witness Virat Kohli play with 'INTENT'.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Oh, is Will Jacks Gone?

Massive appeal for caught behind from Saha and the umpire raises his finger! Jacks reviews it immediately! And as the replays show no bat is involved but three reds go in favour of RCB batter. Survives yet again!

GT vs RCB Live Score: Class hai yaar, absolute class! 🤩

GT vs RCB Live Score: Will Jacks survives!

An appeal for LBW was made but the umpire denied. Noor,Saha requested Gill to send it upstairs, suggesting a potential leg before wicket decision. 

The ball was tossed up, full, with a deceptive googly, spinning away after landing, possibly down the leg side. Jacks, in an attempt to sweep, bends on one knee, but misses the ball, getting struck on the back leg with a resounding thud.

But as the replays showed, it was outside leg and with that GT lost a review.

11 runs off Noor's opening over and RCB are 74/1, requiring 127 runs off 78 balls. 

GT vs RCB Live Score: BREAKING- Virat Kohli did not eat lunch, hence he's feasting over the Gujarati bowlers today! 😉

VK is on fire! King has arrived in Ahmedabad! Back-to-back maximums for the RCB opener as Sai Kishore is feeling the heat of it. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore got off to a strong beginning in their quest for 200 runs, reaching 63/1 after six overs. Virat Kohli powered two sixes in the last over of the powerplay, propelling RCB past the 60-run milestone within the initial six overs. Faf du Plessis was the first to fall, dismissed for a brisk 24 off 12 balls, courtesy of Sai Kishore, providing the hosts with their first breakthrough.

GT vs RCB Live Score: King Kohli's Boundary!! 4️⃣

FOUR! What a shot! Hits it at the safest area on the ground! Has class written all over it! 

GT vs RCB Live Score: No more 'Faf-da' Magic!

The left-arm spin against RCB's openers brings out success for GT. Skipper Faf du Plessis departs after a quickfire knock of 24 runs off 12 balls. 

The bowler sent a medium-paced ball that was aimed towards the batsman's legs. Du Plessis tried to hit it towards the leg side, but he didn't hit it with full force. Shankar, who was standing near the boundary, ran to his left side and caught the ball easily with both hands. Kishore, the bowler's teammate, felt really happy, and so did the rest of the team!

GT vs RCB Live Score: 6,6,4- Faf joins Kohli! 🤩

One good shot after another. The RCB Captain on charge... starts his assault with a hoic over mid-wicket before clearing his front leg and going over long on and then scoops it over the keepers hed. Two maximums and one boundary. He also completes 300 sixes in T20 cricket.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Kohli starts his act

The Virat Kohli is here. He starts off, smashes the first boundary of the chase. Gets a good length into his rader, and he uses his bottom-hand to tonk a boundary over mid-on. Faf du Plessis joins his partner, gets into position nicely, flicks it in the gap between over mid-wicket. 

GT vs RCB Live Score: Warrier to compliment Warrier

Sandeep Warrier, the Impact Player, gets the new ball from the other end. He, too, is making it sharp away from the batter. RCB openers need to dig it through. 

GT vs RCB Live Score: Omarzai is swinging the new-ball

Omarzai making the cherry talk. I repeat, he is making it talk. Swing in the air, Kohli's struggling. After defending the ball off the back foot, the maestro batter got beaten on the outside edge a couple of times. 

GT vs RCB Live Score: Chase begins

We are back with the chase. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis to open the batting for RCB, Omarzai has the new ball in hand. Sandeep Warrier is the Impact Player for GT, he has replaced B Sai Sudharsan.

GT vs RCB Live Score: RCB needs 201 to win!

Gujarat Titans capitalized on a strong finish, reaching 200/3 in 20 overs after being put in to bat by RCB. Swapnil Singh struck early, dismissing Wriddhiman Saha. Captain Shubman Gill struggled before Glenn Maxwell removed him.

Shahrukh Khan, elevated to number 4, and B Sai Sudharsan built a crucial 86-run partnership. Khan fell for 58 off 30 balls. Sudharsan's unbeaten 84* and David Miller's 26* boosted the total. 

RCB's fielding lapses added to their woes. The pitch favored spin early on, benefiting Gujarat's spinners. Overall, Titans capitalized on partnerships and RCB's errors to set a formidable total.

GT vs RCB Live Score: What a save by Patidar 😮

If there's one thing RCB has looked good while doing this afternoon, it's fielding.

And this save by Rajat Patidar is just phenomenal! 

Brilliant work by Patidar at deep extra cover. He moves to his left swiftly, collects the ball, and releases it back inside the field of play before falling on the boundary cushion. Saves 4 runs for his side. Keep it up!

GT vs RCB Live Score: Will Jacks drops!🫣

Siraj looks furious as Will Jacks drops Sai Sudarshan at the point region. A tough chance, because he did get his hands on it but couldn't hold on to it and Sudarshan survives... he is now just 19 runs away from a century. Will this cost RCB big time? Just the final over remaining now.

GT vs RCB Live Score: 4,4,4- Sai attacks Green!

Three boundaries on the trot! Sudharsan is picking the gaps nicely. First through extra covers, then past mid-wicket before summing up his hat tricks of fours with a boundary between long-on and cow corner. WOW, JUST WOW.

GT vs RCB Live Score: FREE-HIT ALERT! 🚨

Oh no! Not what RCB needed. The hooter buzzes and it's a no-ball! Yash Dayal has overstepped. Free-hit loading. And Yash delivers a dot ball. Not how GT would've wanted to use that white cherry.

150 comes up for Gujarat Titans!

GT vs RCB Live Score: Sudarshan knocks it out the park!

A welcome boundary after the break! Sudharsan takes on Maxi!

GT vs RCB Live Score: Sudarshan's tortoise-paced fifty comes up!

Sai Sudharsan brings up his fifty off 34 balls. The southpaw is timing the ball nicely and looking in good touch.  Can he stay through the end and convert this into a big one?

Gujarat Titans are now at 138/3.

GT vs RCB Live Score: God has answered Siraj's prayers! 

What a stunning comeback by RCB. What looked like an impossible thing to do Siraj stepped up and struck on the very first ball of his second spell. Mohd. Siraj breaks the partnership between Sudarshan and Shahrukh. 

With an inswinging yorker, he gets the much-needed breakthrough for his team by dismissing the RCB's headache Khan for 58 off 30 balls.

He brings out the famous footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration. 🤩

GT vs RCB Live Score: Someone call a fire brigade, Shahrukh is on fire! 🤩 🔥

A maximum off Cameron Green as fifty comes up for Shahrukh Khan.

It's become quite the familiar sight: a Tamil Nadu batsman taking on a team from Karnataka! Shahrukh Khan seized the chance to bat at number four and made it count, smashing his way to a maiden IPL half-century, including a towering six. 

The right-hander rose to the occasion, reaching his milestone in just 24 deliveries. With the momentum firmly in his favor, Khan will now set his sights on turning this start into a substantial score.

GT vs RCB Live Score: BANG, BANG, BANG! 🏏

Where all the other bowlers are trying hard to not concede too many runs. Karn Sharma is saying hold my cap. Shah Rukh Khan-Sai Sudarshan are slapping him with maximums and boundaries again and again. From just three overs he has managed to bag 38 runs and go wicketless.

WHY KARN, WHY? 🫣

GT vs RCB Live Score: Now Shahrukh attacks Cam Green!

With complete mastery, the ball swiftly angled towards Shahrukh's shoulder at 131.6 kph, targeting the middle stump. With finesse, the batsman unleashed a powerful pull shot, sending the ball soaring high over deep backward square leg for a maximum.

GT vs RCB Live Score: That's how Maxi and Green sent Shubman back! Pure bliss 

GT vs RCB Live Score: Shahrukh thrashes Maxwell!

The promotion for Shahrukh Khan is yielding the desired results for the Titans. first a maximum and then a boundary off Glenn Maxwell. 

Sudarshan and Shahrukh are trying to build a solid partnership and RCB will have to strike quick! Royal Challengers Bengaluru have done well so far with the ball, restricting GT to 72/2 at the end of 9 overs. 

GT vs RCB Live Score: SIX AND FOUR!!

For someone with the worst strike rate in the top 10 run-getters, Sai Sudarshan is currently annihilating Karn Sharma with his stunning muscle-power. 

At the end of 8 overs, Gujarat Titans is at 59/2.

GT vs RCB Live Score: The comeback man is here!

Glenn Maxwell has a lot to prove today and he sets the tone of his return loud and clear by sending Captain Gill reeling back to the pavillion.

A good catch by fellow Aussie Cameron Green sends him packing for just 16 runs off 19 balls. Not the score Gill would've wanted to post today. The previous season's Orange Cap holder has definitely disappointed himself.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Sai hits a boundary! 4️⃣

RCB is really trying their best to restrict the batters from hitting a big one. But this time, Dayal delivers a short of a length slower delivery outside the off-stump and Sudharsan takes full advantage of it. Slaps it for a four!

GT vs RCB Live Score: Siraj keeping his cool!

Quite the contrary of what one would see everyday...Mohd. Siraj is trying his best to scalp a wicket with some good bowling today. He has given a couple of wides in the fifth over but I'd take the wides anyday over the boundaries and maximums. 

Will god reward his patience with a wicket this afternoon?

GT vs RCB Live Score: Sudarshan joins the party! 4️⃣

Sai Sudarshan smacks back-to-back boundaries off Swapnil Singh. First he pierced the gap through the off-side and then behind the square. Good going Sai! 👏🏻

Yash Dayal will now be brought into the attack.

GT vs RCB Live Score: It's Siraj vs Gill-Sudarshan

And Shubhman starts with a boundary off Siraj! Surprisingly a good fist over by Siraj as he managed to get smacked with a boundary just once! Although, he could've picked up a wicket if during the fifth ball of the over, the ball would've hit the stumps ad Gill was nowhere to be soon. The GT skipper even had an unfortunate collision with Siraj and was being tended to. But he looked fine after that.

Swapnil will be brought into the attack once again now!

GT vs RCB Live Score: Saha has to go back! 

What looked like a good start quickly settled to dust in the first over itself as GT's Wriddhiman Saha walked back after scoring just 5 runs. Swapnil Sharma gets the first breakthrough for RCB! Good captaincy by Faf and en early breakthrough for the visitors! The ball flies towards short third man, where Karn Sharma takes a sitter to get rid of Saha. 

GT at 6/1.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Saha doesn't wait for SHUBH kaam!

First boundary of the day comes at the hands of opener Saha. And with that he's gone!

GT vs RCB Live Score: Chalo saru kariye!  💪🏻

Captain Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha are here! With Swapnil Singh bowling the first over with the new ball.

GT vs RCB Live Score: RCB win the toss and opts to bowl! 🤩

My predictions were spot on! The Bengaluru contingent has won the toss and will be bowling first at Narendra Modi Stadium. Interestingly, Lockie Ferguson will be sitting this one out and in his place Glenn Maxwell will be returning to the team. On the Gujarat Titans will be going in this game with the same team as the previous team!

GT vs RCB Live Score: The toss is about to begin!

The team that will win the toss is likely to bowl first!  And I feel RCB will win the toss... but can there bowlers restrict leaking runs?

GT vs RCB Live Score: Buckle up mates! 

GT vs RCB Live Score: The ‘battle of desperation’

After nine matches each, GT has secured just four wins, while RCB has only clinched two victories. 

It's evident that further defeats at this stage only add to the complexity. In technical terms, RCB is teetering on the edge of elimination. With one more loss, they'll be ousted from contention for the final four.

GT vs RCB Live Score: The Master vs his Disciple!

GT vs RCB Live Score: KING KOHLI! 🤩

GT vs RCB Live Score: What happened the last time GT faced RCB?

In their last encounter back in May 2023, at Bengaluru, GT secured a six-wicket triumph over RCB. Chasing 198, Shubman Gill's explosive 104 off 52 balls, including 5 fours and 8 sixes, anchored GT's victory with five balls to spare. Vijay Shankar, though slow, provided support. Despite RCB's collapse after Kohli's record-setting seventh century, his partnerships with Bracewell and Rawat weren't enough. Notably, both Kohli and Shubman Gill scored centuries, making it a memorable clash.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, renowned for its vastness, poses a significant challenge for bowlers with its batter-friendly pitches. Captains winning the toss often choose to bat first, capitalizing on early seam-friendly conditions. As the match progresses, spinners find some assistance from the dry track. In day games, the toss becomes crucial, with the team batting first holding the advantage on this formidable pitch.

GT vs RCB Live Score: Preview

Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, are in 7th place after winning 4 of 9 matches. With Gill and Sai Sudarshan showing promise, the middle-order must step up. The pace bowling department needs revitalization; Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav, and Sandeep Warrier have struggled. Spinners, led by Rashid Khan, perform steadily but lack match-winning impact.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru, fresh from a victory against SRH, aim to continue winning for playoff contention. Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal lead a disciplined bowling attack, supported by Cameron Green and Karn Sharma. The batting lineup, including Rajat Patidar, Faf du Plessis, Will Jacks, and Dinesh Karthik, all need to contribute significantly for RCB's success.
