Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has won the toss and elected to bowl first. "The surface gives swing in the first 4-5 overs. Want to chase in case there is dew," he tells Ravi Shastri, adding that they are going with an unchanged XI. Rajat Patidar says he would have bowled first as well, and is also going with the same team as their previous match against Delhi Capitals.

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has produced a balanced surface this season, offering assistance to both batters and bowlers. In the three matches played here so far, defending sides have enjoyed some success, indicating that the pitch can slow down as the game progresses.

While runs are expected to come early, a total in the 220–230 range should be highly competitive and could well be enough to win based on recent results at the venue.

Ahmedabad is set for a hot and dry evening, with clear, sunny skies expected around match time. Temperatures will hover in the high 30s even at 7:00 pm after touching a peak of 41°C earlier in the day, with humidity around 43%.

There is no chance of rain, and light winds at around 19 km/h should offer minimal relief, ensuring uninterrupted play in testing conditions for players.

The first ball will be bowled at 7:30pm IST, with the toss scheduled for 7pm. The GT vs RCB, IPL 2026 match will be telecast on the Star Sports Network TV channels in India and live streamed on the JioHotstar app and website in the country.
