Toss Update:
Gujarat Titans have won the toss and opted to field first in the crucial game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the iconic Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on 2nd April 2025.
Preview:
One of the only two franchises to win both their games so far, a rampant Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will face the Gujarat Titans on April 2, Wednesday at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. With the venue known to produce boundaries for fun, fans can expect a high-scoring game on Wednesday, especially with the likes of Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill in action.
The Royal Challengers have steamrolled Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings in their backyard in their two matches thus far. With a fine balance between batters, bowlers and all-rounders, the three-time finalists have thrived well on two different conditions. However, their bowlers might be put to the sword in the short boundaries of the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The Titans, meanwhile, bounced back well after conceding 243 against the Punjab Kings as they beat the Mumbai Indians by 36 runs, thereby getting on board. With their top three in good form, the Titans will feel confident but they require Rashid Khan to return to form, having been struggling for a while now.
