Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on the Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 34 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, April 24.
Despite losing their last match at home to DC, RCB are sitting comfortably in 3rd place with 8 points from four wins and two losses in six matches so far.
It is RCB's last home match in Bengaluru, after which they play a flurry of away fixtures before moving to their second home venue of the season, Raipur, in May. They have fared well this year at home, winning three of the four matches played so far.
RCB have got a five-day break between their last game and this one, which gives their talisman batter, Virat Kohli, some extra time to recover from the mild ankle strain. Also, the team made good use of the break with match simulations, which makes the team better equipped to get things in order before the business end of the tournament.

They are currently placed at the seventh spot in the points table with six points from three wins and the same number of losses in 6 games played so far. GT will have to fix their middle-order woes if they want to compete against the defending champions in their backyard.
