RCB captain Rajat Patidar said the team will maintain an attacking mindset ahead of the IPL 2026 Qualifier 1 clash against Gujarat Titans. Patidar highlighted RCB’s bowling strength, praised senior players including Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and stressed the importance of staying calm under playoff pressure.

Dharamshala, May 25: Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar believes execution under pressure and staying committed to the team’s strengths will be decisive when RCB face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday night.

The two sides shared the spoils in their league-stage meetings this season, with RCB claiming the first encounter by five wickets at home before Gujarat Titans secured a four-wicket triumph in the reverse fixture.

With a direct route to the final on the line, Patidar believes composure could separate the two sides.

“Both teams have done really well throughout the season. On the given day, whichever team executes their plans better, plays better cricket and stays calmer under pressure, I think that team will win the match,” Patidar said.
