Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on the Gujarat Titans at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore in the 52nd match of the Indian Premier League. Both the teams are desperate for a win in their upcoming match as they intend to be a part of the play-offs later this month.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have to win all their games to stand any chance of advancing to the playoffs. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans would want to win their final four games to give themselves the best opportunity to qualify for the playoffs.
Ahead of this mouthwatering clash between the two teams, let’s take a look at RCB’s stats and records against GT in the IPL.
RCB vs GT Head-to-Head Record
In the 4 times that RCB and GT have faced off in the league, both the sides have won two games apiece. Till last week, Gujarat Titans had a better head-to-head record against Royal Challengers Bengaluru but the latter won in Ahmedabad convincingly to even the record. It would be interesting to see who would take the lead in the head-to-head record.
Top Run Scorers for RCB against GT
There was no doubt that there would be anyone else apart from Virat Kohli who would be leading the run-charts for the franchise. The former Team India captain has amassed 302 runs against the 2022 IPL winners and will be looking to add more runs to his tally tomorrow in Bengaluru.
Top Wicket-takers for RCB against GT
For the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Wanindu Hasaranga has been able to scalp the most wickets. The Sri Lankan leg-spinner has three wickets to his name against the Gujarat Titans.
