  RCB vs GT Live Score Updates: Gujarat Titans opt to bowl

  Shubman Gill: We'll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket. We've seen the conditions don't change much. We're all about reducing our unforced errors. We'll try to finetune the areas that need it. Kagiso misses out due to personal reasons so we've got Arshad Khan back.

  Rajat Patidar: Would've bowled first as well because it's a new surface. It's pretty hard and won't change much. The way boys are chipping in gives a lot of confidence as a captain. We love this crowd. The way they love us and the support we've always received is incredible. Same team.

  RCB vs GT Live Score Updates: 

  The return of Royal Challengers Bengaluru to Chinnaswamy Stadium presents a recurring challenge - can they overcome their struggles on home turf? Despite a promising start to the IPL 2025 season with two victories on the road, their inconsistent performance at home continues to be a cause for concern. With a win rate of less than 50 percent in Bengaluru, the team has made strategic acquisitions in the bowling department during the auction in an effort to improve their chances of success.

  "I think everybody knows what to expect from a surface here in Bangalore. It's a good wicket, we know it's a pretty short boundary, we know the ball carries and flies, so they're typically high scoring games... We've recruited a team that we think is pretty powerful, we hope we can exploit those batting conditions. And we think we've got a bowling attack that's particularly skilful and that can deal with the challenge of bowling here. Attacking here, but also defending here," explained Mo Bobat, the RCB team director.
