The IPL 2025 season continues to witness thrilling encounters, and Match 14 between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was no exception. GT delivered a commanding performance, securing an 8-wicket victory over RCB, which significantly impacted the points table.

GT chased down RCB’s total of 169/8 in just 17.5 overs, thanks to an exceptional batting display led by Jos Buttler (73* off 39 balls) and Sai Sudharsan (49 off 36 balls). Sherfane Rutherford also played a crucial role, finishing unbeaten on 30* off 18 deliveries. Their aggressive batting ensured that GT won comfortably with 13 balls to spare.
On the bowling front, Mohammed Siraj was the standout performer for GT, taking 3 wickets for 19 runs in his four overs. He was deservedly awarded the Player of the Match for his outstanding spell, which helped restrict RCB to a manageable total.
RCB’s batting lineup failed to capitalize on a steady start. Despite a fighting 54 off 40 balls from Liam Livingstone and useful contributions from Jitesh Sharma (33 off 24) and Tim David (32 off 18), they could only reach 169/8. GT’s disciplined bowling, especially from Siraj and Sai Kishore (2/22), kept RCB under control.
With this loss, RCB now has two wins and one loss in three matches, pushing them down to third place in the updated points table.
