Royal Challengers Bengaluru couldn’t have asked for a better start to the new IPL season, under new captain Rajat Patidar. They beat Kolkata Knight Riders at their own backyard in the 2025 season opener last month, before scripting a 17-year first with a win against Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk. After being on the road for two weeks, RCB are back home to host their first IPL 2025 game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, as they take on Gujarat Titans.
The Shubman Gill-led side, on the other hand, played both their opening games at home in Ahmedabad. While they lost their campaign opener against Punjab Kings, they bounced back to beat Mumbai Indians last Saturday. GT’s first away game this season, in Bengaluru, will have Mohammed Siraj’s emotions flowing, having represented RCB in 87 matches in his IPL career before being released ahead of the auction last November.
The two sides have faced each other just five times in IPL, with RCB leading 3-2 after back-to-back wins in last season.
