The Gujarat Titans (GT) made history by defeating the reigning champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), by four wickets in Match 42 of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday, April 30. After being asked to bat first, RCB struggled to put up a competitive score, finishing with just 155 runs before losing all their wickets. Devdutt Padikkal was the standout performer with the bat, scoring 40 runs, but he didn’t receive much support from his teammates throughout the innings. For GT, Arshad Khan shone with the ball, taking three wickets, while Jason Holder and Rashid Khan each contributed with two wickets. In response, GT made quick work of the target, reaching it in just 15.5 overs, largely thanks to their captain, Shubman Gill, who blasted a quickfire 43 off just 17 balls, setting the tone for a smooth chase. Jos Buttler added a solid 39 runs, and Rahul Tewatia finished things off with an unbeaten 27, ensuring a comfortable victory. This win brings GT to 10 points from nine matches, putting them just two points shy of the playoff spots.
