RCB vs GT, IPL 2025: Royal Challengers Bangalore has made a wonderful start in IPL 2025. This team has won two consecutive matches and now it will be in the mood to score a hat-trick. The big thing is that the opportunity to score a hat-trick is at home ground Chinnaswamy and the team in front is Gujarat Titans, whose captain is Shubman Gill, who is called the Prince of Team India. RCB bowlers have performed brilliantly against strong teams like Kolkata and Chennai, but now they have the challenge of Chinnaswamy Stadium, where batsmen rule.

More than 260 runs have been scored on this ground thrice so far. The small boundaries and fast outfield create problems for the bowlers, but RCB trusts experienced bowlers like Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Hazlewood has given only 5.37 runs per over this season, while Bhuvneshwar's economy rate is 6.6.

The biggest threat for Gujarat is Virat Kohli who has scored 344 runs in five innings against this team. Virat has an average of 114.7 against Gujarat. In this, he has scored three half-centuries and one century. The big thing is that Virat also likes the Chinnaswamy ground a lot. He has scored the highest 3040 runs on this ground in IPL. Apart from this, Virat now has a chance to do the miracle of scoring 13000 T20 runs. In his T20 career, Kohli has scored 12976 runs in 384 innings and as soon as he scores 24 runs, he will touch the figure of 13000.
