RCB vs GT Live Score Updates, IPL 2023: Shubman Gill Solid After Fifty But Gujarat Titans Go Three Down In Chase Of 198

RCB vs GT Live: Harshal Patel strikes!

Harshal Patel has got the wicket of new batter Dasun Shanaka. The Sri Lankan star falls for a three-ball duck after handing an easy catch to substitute fielder Prabhudessai at long-on. Gujarat Titans need 48 runs in 27 balls.

RCB vs GT Live: WICKET!

Vijaykumar Vyshak dismissed Vijay Shankar on the fifth ball of his third over, but not before Shankar raced to his fifty in 34 balls. Gujarat Titans need 50 runs in 30 balls.

GT 148/2 (15)

RCB vs GT Live: Gujarat Titans need 64 in 36!

Nine runs came of Mohammed Siraj’s third over. Vijay Shankar is also getting close to his fifty. Gujarat Titans need 64 runs in 36 balls.

GT 134/1 (14)

RCB vs GT Live: SIX, SIX – Gill accelerates!

Shubman Gill plays a slog sweep on the bowling of Bracewell and the ball goes over backward sqaure leg for a six. Gill goes over the fence again and this time, it  is a big six. 16 runs came off the over. Gujarat Titans need 73 runs in 42 balls.

RCB vs GT Live: Fifty for Shubman Gill!

Shubman Gill raced to his half-century in 29 balls. He is looking in really good control and should try and convert this into a big score. Only 7 runs came off Harshal Patel’s second over. Gujarat Titans need 89 runs in 48 balls.

GT 109/1 (12)

RCB vs GT Live: 12-run over

The pressure created by Harshal Patel’s 6-run over has been wasted as Himanshu Sharma has bowled a 12-run over. Gujarat Titans need 96 runs in 54 balls. The asking rate is still below 11 and with the likes of Tewatia, Miller, Hardik and Rashid to come, they will back themselves to chase it down from here. 

RCB vs GT Live: Economical over

GT 90/1 (10)

RCB vs GT Live: Gujarat Titans gain momentum

Gill and Shankar have put their feet on the accelerator pedal. Gujarat Titans have scored 25 runs in the last two overs. The momentum is on their way and RCB need a wicket to keep things under control. Gujarat Titans need 114 runs in 66 balls.

GT 84/1 (9)

RCB vs GT Live: SIX!

A slower ball from Vijaykumar Vyshak outside off stump and Shubman Gill smashed it on the black screen down the ground for a six. He then took a single to retain the strike. Gujarat Titans need 127 runs in 72 balls.

RCB vs GT Live: SIX!

A fuller ball from Wayne Parnell and Vijay Shankar smashes it for a six down the ground. Shankar gets a thick edge on the next ball and that flies away from wicketkeeper Anuj Rawat for  a four. RCB pacers are bowling really well but they have been unlucky in this innings so far. Gujarat Titans need 147 runs in 84 balls.

RCB vs GT Live: RCB keep it tight

Only 10 runs have come off the last two overs. One was bowled by Wayne Parnell while Vijaykumar Vyshak bowled the other one. Gujarat Titans need 163 runs in 90 balls.

RCB vs GT Live: WICKET!

Mohammed Siraj ends Saha’s struggle at the crease. Saha came down the track but failed to hit the delivery over the cover fielder. Wayne Parnell timed his jump to perfection to take the catch. 

GT 25/1 (3) 

RCB vs GT Live: RCB lose a review!

2.4 – A good length ball from Mohammed Siraj hit Wriddhiman Saja on the back pad. Umpire was unconvinced with the LBW appeal but RCB decided to go upstairs. Ball-tracking suggested that it would have gone over the stumps and RCB lost the review.  

RCB vs GT Live: Back-to-back FOURS from Gill

Shubman Gill hit two consecutive fours to Wayne Parnell. A total of three fours came in the over as Saha had also hit a boundary on the second ball. After a slow start in the first over, this is good comeback from GT.

GT 15/0 (2)

RCB vs GT Live: Gujarat Titans’ chase underway!

Mohammed Siraj kept Wriddhiman Saha under pressure in the first over by bowling tight lines outside off stump. He got fair amount of swing on his balls. Shubman Gill was at the other end before he got only the last ball to play. Only two runs came of the first over.

GT 2/0 (1)

RCB vs GT Live: RCB post 197/6 vs GT!

15 runs came off the last over bowled by Mohit Sharma. Powered by Kohli’s unbeaten 101, RCB have posted close to 200 runs in 20 overs. It would not have been possible for the side, had Kohli not dug in his heels and played a sensational knock. All to RCB bowlers now as they have got a good total on the board.

RCB 197/5 (20)

RCB vs GT Live: Century for Virat Kohli!

19.1 – A single and Virat Kohli races to his century in 60 balls. What a knock this has been from the RCB star! Had the innings not been there, RCB would have been restricted to a below par total. This is Kohli’s second century of the season and seventh overall in IPL. With this, Kohli also becomes the only batter in IPL history with 7 centuries to his name. He has surpassed Chris Gayle (6).

RCB vs GT Live: SIX! What a shot!

17.2 – Yash Dayal bowls a length ball and Kohli smashes that away for a six to wide of long-on. This is pure brilliance from Kohli. He is now batting on 83 and a 7th IPL century for him seems around the corner.

RCB vs GT Live: Rashid Khan

Only 6 runs came off Rashid Khan’s last over. He ends his quota of four overs with figures of 1 for 24. Three more overs remaining and RCB would aim to make most of it.

RCB 155/5 (17)

RCB vs GT Live: FOUR!

15.5 – Another four from Virat Kohli. Mohit Sharma bowled a fuller delivery outside off stump and the RCB star guided it through the backward point region for the second four of the over.

RCB vs GT Live: FOUR!

15.2 – Virat Kohli hits a four on the off side. RCB need many more like this from him as they will be needing a total of around 200 to stay in serious contest against GT in this game.

RCB vs GT Live: Karthik is out!

14.2 – This is poor batting from Dinesh Karthik. Yash Dayal bowled a bouncer ball down the leg side to Karthik and the latter tried to hit it but edged it to wicketkeeper Saha instead. RCB are five down now and they have lost the momentum what was provided to them by the Kohli-Bracewell partnership.

RCB 136/5 (15)

RCB vs GT Live: WICKET!

The partnership for the fourth wicket has been broken by Mohammed Shami. He has got the wicket of Michael Bracewell, who was batting really well. Bracewell is gone for 26 runs off 16 balls. RCB’s fate now depends on Kohli, who is batting really well from the other end.

RCB 132/4 (14)

RCB vs GT Live: Expensive over

15 runs came off Mohit Sharma’s second over. Virat Kohli started with a four before Bracewell hit two consecutive fours in the over. The momentum is with RCB and they look well on course of a total of over 200.

RCB 127/3 (13) 

RCB vs GT Live: Fifty for Virat Kohli!

11.5 – A double on the off side and Virat Kohli races to his half-century with it on 35 balls. Another good knock from the former RCB skipper, however, his team needs him to convert it into a big one. This is the 7th fifty for Kohli in the ongoing IPL season.

RCB 112/3 (12)

RCB vs GT Live: Back-to-back FOURS!

Michael Bracewell hit two fours to Mohit Sharma on consecutive deliveries of the latter’s first over. This is good intent from RCB as anything below 200 on this surface is hard to defend. They need to keep going.

RCB 104/3 (11)

RCB vs GT Live: Noor Ahmad strikes again!

9.2 – Wide ball and a wicket for Noor Ahmad! The delivery has to be bowled again but Noor Ahmad has got the wicket of Mahipal Loror on it. He saw the batter coming down the track and fired the ball towards leg and got him stumped out. RCB are in real trouble now.

RCB 93/3 (10)

RCB vs GT Live: WICKET!

8.2 – Rashid Khan has got the big wicket of Glenn Maxwell. The batter had hit a six and a four in the first four balls he faced in this game and was looking really dangerous but Rashid has given GT some reprieve. 

RCB vs GT Live: Du Plessis is gone!

7.1 – Noor Ahmad has got the wicket of Faf du Plessis. The RCB captain got an inside edge on the ball that hit the right pad of GT wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha and went into the hands of slip fielder Rahul Tewatia. Du Plessis fell for 28 runs off 19 balls.

RCB 79/1 (8) 

RCB vs GT Live: Economical over

Rashid Khan conceded only 5 runs off his second over. After a long time such an over has come that was not expensive for GT.

RCB 67/0 (7)

RCB vs GT Live: End of powerplay!

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have kept RCB on top. The side has scored 62 runs in the powerplay that too without losing any wicket. Even Rashid Khan was brought in to bowl one over inside powerplay and too was hit for 10 runs.

RCB 62/0 (6)

RCB vs GT Live: 50 up for RCB!

This is brilliant start for RCB, considering they had scored only 10 runs in the first two overs. Once the duo of Kohli and du Plessis got settled, they went out all guns blazing. Du Plessis started the attack and Kohli followed it with similar masterclass. RCB have crossed 50 runs in five overs that too without losing any wicket.

RCB 53/0 (5) 

RCB vs GT Live: 4, 4, 4 – Kohli on fire!

Virat Kohli hit a hat-trick of fours to Yash Dayal. RCB have now truly changed gears. Faf du Plessis ended the over with a four too. A total of 17 runs came in the over of Yash Dayal and the momentum is on RCB’s side now.

RCB 43/0 (4)

RCB vs GT Live: Hat-trick of FOURS!

2.4 – Faf du Plessis has decided to change gears. He danced down the track on the bowling of Mohammed Shami and slammed a four over mid-off before he timed better next time to hit another four. The third four came off a mishit, but RCB won’t mind it.

Du Plessis finished the over with a four. 16 runs came off the over.

RCB 26/0 (3)

RCB vs GT Live: Slow start for RCB

This is a slow start for RCB. Either of Kohli or du Plessis needs to charge to keep RCB going.

RCB 10/0 (2)

We don’t know currently when the game will start as it all depends on the Rain Gods, who are in no mood to spare this game. But by then, you can have a look at the playing XIs of both the sides – 

RCB vs GT Live: Drizzle is back!

Here is a bad news, folks! It’s drizzling again at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium and the covers are back on. The game would have started at 8 PM, but this latest drizzle spoils it.

RCB vs GT Live: One change for RCB!

“You always want to chase because of the conditions, but the team batting first has done well here. It is a new one and the guys are motivated for this one. Just one change. Karn Sharma misses out and Himanshu Sharma replaces him,” said Faf.
