RCB at home on a surface being prepared for another high-scoring night makes them the pick.

The all-time series is level at 3-3 across six meetings, with GT winning the last encounter at this ground by nine wickets in 2025 after restricting RCB to a below-par total. Before that, Gill’s 104 beat Kohli’s unbeaten 100 in one of the great IPL individual duels at this venue.

Both arrive on the back of losses, RCB to DC and GT to MI by 99 runs. With RCB currently third and GT one win behind in seventh, a win to either side could be key in the chase for finals positions.

The average score at this venue is 181 so this is a ground that favours the bigger hitters. RCB have hit 200+ runs in four of their six games while GT have only done so twice.

If this becomes a shootout then RCB have to be the pick.

Patidar has 195 runs at a strike rate of 214 this season and has hit 18 sixes in the middle overs alone, more than his entire team combined. Prasidh Krishna has ten wickets in the middle overs and will be the key threat, but Patidar’s good record against him at this ground makes him a strong pick.

Value Bet

Shubman Gill

50+ Runs

Gill has three half-centuries this season and scored 104 not out at this very ground in 2023. He averages 70 against RCB in this rivalry and comes up against a bowling attack without Jacob Duffy, who has been their most dangerous new-ball option. On a surface that will favour the willow, he is the batter most likely to give GT’s a chance.
