GT vs RCB IPL Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After toss, RCB skipper Du Plessis said, "The wicket will be better later, so we will like to chase. With so many high scores the nature of this game has changed, our bowlers have been exceptional in the last two games. We have scored big with the bat, those are the changes. Maxwell comes back in, we have some firepower in the middle-order." 

GT captain Gill said, "Would have chased as well, looks a really good wicket. Need to put a good total on the board. We have batted decently, we lost by a difference of just one ball in the last game. This is the right time to peak for us."

GT vs RCB IPL Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gill spins it, Faf calls it and RCB win it. They are bowling first today. 

GT vs RCB IPL Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Shubman Gill and Faf du Plessis are standing there in readiness under the scorching Ahmedabad sun. Both sides haven't exactly been in form but don't be surprised if we see RCB unchanged considering they finally got a win under their belt in the previous match. 

GT vs RCB IPL Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The fact that both Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill haven't done well has gone a long way in GT not being able to ballistic in the powerplay the way other teams have. Sudharsan has scored 334 runs this year but it has come at a strike rate of 128.95, which is good in Test and ODI cricket but woefully below par in T20s anyhow, let alone in a season such as this one.GT vs RCB IPL Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli is not the only one today with strike rate troubles.

GT vs RCB IPL Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Graeme Swann and Michael Clarke brave the heat that is turning their skin red to give the pitch report. It's very hot today, 62m and 64m square boundaries while the straight boundary is at 72m. The wicket looks pretty good, but it's quite dry. It should spin a bit and will be consistent even if you're batting first or second. 180 could be a good score batting first, but both teams will rely heavily on spin and changes in variations, they say

GT vs RCB IPL Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB have conceded over 60 in the powerplay in six of their nine games this IPL so far. GT have not exactly been prolific in the powerplay this year and so this might be a good chance for their top order batters to get some form.

GT vs RCB IPL Live Score, Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: With his form being a roller coaster at the moment, a game in Ahmedabad might be exactly what Gill needs. It is a ground where he has scored truckloads of runs across formats. He has an average of over 64, scoring 833 runs in just 16 games, in the IPL at this venue.
