Season-by-Season Breakdown
IPL 2022: Honours split 1–1. GT chased down 171 at Brabourne (Rahul Tewatia’s late fireworks), then RCB returned the favour at Wankhede by chasing 169 with 8 wickets in hand.
IPL 2023: Only one match, and it was a blockbuster. GT chased down RCB’s total at Chinnaswamy thanks to Shubman Gill’s 104 off 52 balls. That win helped GT qualify for the playoffs while RCB were eliminated. A painful night for the Bengaluru faithful.
IPL 2024: RCB’s dream double. First, they restricted GT to 147 all out at Chinnaswamy and won by 4 wickets. Then came the showstopper at Ahmedabad: Will Jacks’ unbeaten 100 off 41 balls powered RCB to chase down 207 in just 16 overs, winning by 9 wickets. That chase is one of the most dominant in IPL history.
IPL 2025: GT’s revenge at Chinnaswamy. Jos Buttler’s 73* off 39 and Sai Sudharsan’s 50 helped GT chase 170 with 8 wickets in hand. Mohammed Siraj, now playing for GT, picked up 3/19 against his former team. RCB’s home crowd was left stunned.
IPL 2026: A balanced battle in the league stage. In their first meeting at Bengaluru, GT set a formidable target of 205/3, but Virat Kohli’s spectacular batting led RCB to pull off a 5-wicket win with 7 balls to spare. Just six days later in Ahmedabad, GT turned the tables. Arshad Khan’s brilliant 3-wicket haul bundled out RCB for 155, allowing Shubman Gill (43) and Jos Buttler (39) to wrap up a swift 4-wicket victory.
Highest Team Score in RCB vs GT Matches
Despite this rivalry being only 6 matches old, it has already produced some big totals.
| Team | Highest Score | Year / Venue |
|---|---|---|
| RCB | 206 | 2024 / Ahmedabad (chase) |
| GT | 200 | 2024 / Ahmedabad (batting first) |
The Ahmedabad match in 2024 stands out. GT posted around 206/1 on a flat Narendra Modi Stadium pitch. Sai Sudharsan and Shahrukh Khan built a massive partnership. But RCB didn’t even flinch. Will Jacks and Virat Kohli chased it down in 16 overs, making it look like a practice match.
Lowest Team Score in RCB vs GT Matches
Not every match in this rivalry has been a run-fest. When the bowlers get conditions in their favour, both teams can be restricted.
| Team | Lowest Score | Year / Venue |
|---|---|---|
| GT | 147 all out | 2024 / Chinnaswamy |
| RCB | 155 | Lowest vs GT |
GT’s 147 all out at Chinnaswamy in 2024 was a rare batting collapse for a team that usually scores above 170. Mohammed Siraj (2/29) and Yash Dayal (2/21) exploited early swing, and only Shahrukh Khan (37) offered real resistance.
RCB’s low-scoring vulnerability showed up again in their second meeting of 2026 in Ahmedabad. The batting lineup crumbled for just 155 runs in 19.2 overs against GT’s disciplined attack, making it their second-lowest total in this head-to-head rivalry.
Most Runs in RCB vs GT Matches
Virat Kohli leads the run charts by a significant margin. In just 6 innings, he has already crossed the 350-run mark against GT, with three fifties and one memorable partnership alongside Will Jacks.
| Rank | Player | Team | Runs | Innings | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Virat Kohli | RCB | 351 | 6 | 3 fifties, 1 hundred-stand |
| 2 | Shubman Gill | GT | 168 | 6 | HS: 104 (2023) |
| 3 | Sai Sudharsan | GT | 159 | 6 | Consistent middle-order |
Kohli’s ~351 runs in just 6 innings shows his consistency. He has scored at least 30+ in almost every match against GT. His 42 in the 2025 Chinnaswamy clash came off just 27 balls before GT’s bowlers fought back.
Shubman Gill’s 104 off 52 at Chinnaswamy in 2023 is the highest individual score in this rivalry. He overshadowed Kohli’s own 83 (who watched from the other end during RCB’s innings) with an explosive chase that eliminated RCB from playoff contention.
Will Jacks’ unbeaten 100 off 41 in the 2024 Ahmedabad chase deserves a special mention. He went from 50 to 100 in just 10 balls, smashing 7 sixes in the process. RCB chased 207 with 24 balls to spare. That innings earned him the Player of the Match and remains one of the fastest centuries in RCB’s history.
Most Wickets in RCB vs GT Matches
Mohammed Siraj leads the wicket charts in this rivalry, having taken wickets for both sides. He played for RCB from 2017 to 2024, then moved to GT for IPL 2025.
| Rank | Player | Team(s) | Wickets | Key Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mohammed Siraj | RCB (now GT) | 8 | Swing, pace, new-ball threat |
| 2 | Joshua Little | RCB | 5 | Right-arm pace, death overs |
| 3 | Josh Hazlewood | RCB | 3 | Bounce, accuracy |
Siraj’s 3/19 in the 2025 Chinnaswamy match (playing for GT against his former team) was his best spell in this fixture. He found swing early and was unplayable in his first two overs. RCB fans gave him a warm reception, but he showed no mercy with the ball.
Yash Dayal has been RCB’s most reliable death-over bowler in this rivalry. His ability to nail yorkers under pressure was a key factor in the 2024 Chinnaswamy win, where he picked up 2/21 to help bowl GT out for 147.
Best Bowling Figures in RCB vs GT Matches
With only 6 matches played, the bowling record list is still developing. But some spells have already stood out.
| Player | Team | Figures | Year | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Josh Little | GT | 4/45 | IPL 2024 | Chinnaswamy, Bengaluru |
| Mohammed Siraj | GT | 3/19 | IPL 2025 | Chinnaswamy, Bengaluru |
| Sai Kishore | GT | 2/22 | IPL 2025 | Chinnaswamy, Bengaluru |
Josh Little’s 4/45 for GT in the 2024 Chinnaswamy match is the best bowling figures in RCB vs GT history. The Irish left-arm pacer troubled RCB’s middle order with his pace and variations, though GT still lost the match after being bowled out for 147.
Siraj’s 3/19 in 2025 was arguably more impactful because GT won that game. His spell broke RCB’s momentum after a quick start and set the platform for Buttler’s match-winning chase.
Key Players in RCB vs GT Rivalry
Despite being just 6 matches old, this rivalry already has its defining players. The Siraj switch adds an emotional layer that fans from both cities will feel.
Key RCB Players Against GT
- Virat Kohli – 351 runs in 6 innings, the leading run-scorer in this fixture. Kohli has been RCB’s most consistent performer against GT, providing the anchor around which others can play freely. His ability to build partnerships has been critical in RCB’s wins.
- Will Jacks – His 100* off 41 balls at Ahmedabad in 2024 is arguably the most destructive innings in this rivalry. He went from fifty to hundred in 10 balls. That knock single-handedly won the match and shifted RCB’s entire 2024 season trajectory.
- Josh Hazlewood – RCB’s strike bowler has been effective against GT with his bounce and accuracy. His early wickets in the 2025 match removed Shubman Gill and slowed GT’s start, even though GT eventually won.
- Yash Dayal – The left-arm pacer has become RCB’s go-to death-over bowler. His 2/21 in the 2024 match was instrumental in bowling GT out for 147, and his ability to swing the ball both ways makes him dangerous in Bengaluru conditions.
Key GT Players Against RCB
- Shubman Gill – His 104 off 52 at Chinnaswamy in 2023 is the highest individual score in this rivalry. As GT’s captain, he combines elegant strokeplay with the ability to accelerate. His century knocked RCB out of IPL 2023 playoffs.
- Jos Buttler – His unbeaten 73 off 39 in the 2025 Chinnaswamy match was a masterclass in chasing. Buttler timed his acceleration perfectly, going from steady accumulation to explosive hitting in the death overs. He has now scored runs in every RCB vs GT meeting he’s played.
- Mohammed Siraj – Having spent 7 years at RCB (83 wickets, 87 matches), Siraj knows Chinnaswamy’s conditions better than almost anyone. His 3/19 against his former team in 2025 was emotional and effective. He will be a key weapon for GT in future meetings.
- Sai Sudharsan – GT’s most consistent batter across seasons. His 50 in the 2025 Chinnaswamy match and contributions in the 2024 Ahmedabad game (86-run partnership with Shahrukh Khan) show his ability to hold innings together while others attack around him.
