Kohli and Padikkal Power RCB to Thrilling Chase Against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026

Chasing a daunting target of 206, Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully reached the finish line in 18.5 overs, driven by superb half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal in a high-pressure encounter.

Gujarat Titans earlier posted a strong total of 205/3, powered by a magnificent century from Sai Sudharsan. The left-hander struck a fluent 100 off 58 balls—his third IPL ton—and anchored a dominant 128-run opening stand with skipper Shubman Gill, who contributed 32 off 24 balls. Sudharsan controlled the innings throughout, handling both pace and spin with authority and also reached major milestones, including becoming the fastest to 2000 IPL runs, underlining his exceptional form.

In reply, RCB suffered an early setback with the dismissal of Jacob Bethell for 14 off 10 balls, but Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal completely shifted the momentum with a match-defining 115-run partnership for the second wicket. Kohli played a vintage innings of 81 off 44 balls, bringing up his fifty in just 30 deliveries, while Padikkal complemented him perfectly with a quickfire 55 off 27 balls. Both batters confidently neutralised the GT attack, including Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, and Rashid Khan, keeping RCB firmly ahead in the chase.

GT briefly clawed their way back into the contest as both set batters departed in quick succession, along with Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma, reducing RCB to 173/5. However, Krunal Pandya (23 off 12) and Tim David held their nerve under pressure and guided RCB home with seven balls to spare. Earlier, despite Sudharsan’s brilliant century setting up the platform, GT’s total was restricted by RCB’s disciplined death bowling, conceding just 31 runs in the final four overs—an effort that ultimately proved decisive in the outcome.
