GT vs RCB, IPL 2024 Highlights: Will Jacks' 41-ball century blows away Titans, Kohli stars with unbeaten 70

RCB have recorded the fastest-ever 200-plus chase in IPL in just 16 overs as Will Jacks went on a six-hitting spree against Mohit Sharma and Rashid Khan. 4, 6, 6, 2, 6, 4, 0, 6, 6, 4, 6, 6 - 56 runs in last 12 balls from Jacks ensured that RCB got over the line and the Englishman smashed a 41-ball century, the fifth fastest in the IPL.

Virat Kohli has slammed his 54th IPL fifty off just 32 balls. The chase master has woken up as, despite the three-pronged spin attack against him, Kohli has taken his chances which have come off and is firing on all cylinders.

Virat Kohli and Will Jacks have stitched a 50-run stand in just 32 balls as RCB on course of pulling off a 201-run chase against the Gujarat Titans.

Virat Kohli with a couple of sixes off R Sai Kishore in the final over of the powerplay has ensured that the RCB ended the period on a high despite losing skipper Faf du Plessis.

R Sai Kishore has struck with the big wicket of RCB skipper Faf du Plessis, who got a rapid start and almost nailed hoick towards deep mid-wicket but handed a straight catch to the fielder, who ran a bit but completed the catch.

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have come out to bat for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and will be hoping to provide their side a good start on a slightly slow surface given the target of 200 will not be easy to chase.

Gujarat Titans have got to the 200 mark on the final ball with a six by David Miller. Both teams will be feeling happy and disappointed as Titans would think that they could get a few more but given the start, they will be happy while RCB will be disappointed that they let the hosts get to 200.

Sai Sudharsan continued his magnificent form in the 2024 edition of the IPL as he slammed his second consecutive fifty of the season and has breached the 400 mark, only the second after Virat Kohli in the tournament thus far.

Mohammed Siraj has broken the dangerous partnership between Shahrukh Khan and Sai Sudharsan with a seeing yorker to dismiss the half-centurion. The duo stitched an 86-run partnership off just 45 balls to kick on scoring for the Titans.

Gujarat Titans have recovered well after a slow start with the help of Shahrukh Khan's surprise promotion in the batting order. The duo has stitched a 50-run partnership off just 28 balls and given the platform for the batters to go big from here.

Shubman Gill keeps getting caught at long on but this was a stunning catch from Cameron Green, who keeps using his big hands to his and RCB's advantage. Glenn Maxwell on return has taken the big wicket of GT skipper and the home team's poor start has gone from bad to worse.

Gujarat Titans have had a poor powerplay in terms of scoring rate as they scored just 42 runs and lost the wicket of opener Wriddhiman Saha to Swapnil Singh in the very first over of the innings.

And Swapnil strikes in his first over. He makes an impact immediately into this one and Saha falls cheaply again. 

It's action time in Ahmedabad in the GT vs RCB clash. The two openers - Saha and captain Gill are out in the middle. Swapnil Singh has the new ball in the hand

At this venue against SRH, the GT bowlers were pretty effective when the ball got softer. They will be bowling later in the evening. Can they replicate the success that they got against the SRH batters against RCB now.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis opted to bowl after winning the toss saying that he was in two minds but looking at the results at the venue historically, he went with the option of chasing. Shubman Gill, on the other hand, didn't mind losing taking inspiration from teams putting up big scores in the season so far.

Ahmedabad has traditionally been a chasing ground and it could prove to be the same, however, heat will be a huge factor with the temperatures crossing 40 degrees. The square boundaries are 62m and 64m and the straighter one is 72m. The pitch will be dry and a bit slow and hence the spinners could have a role to play. However, the captain winning the toss could opt to bowl first. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru notched up an impressive 35-run win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game but they have to keep winning as one more loss could put their campaign in jeopardy and probably knock them out.

Captain Shubman Gill has used the word 'average' quite a few times in the season whether related to his team's performance in the season so far or effort with the bat or ball on that particular day. With five games remaining and his team needing to win four of them, the Titans will need to play above the level they have been playing so far.

One team got a win after a month while the other is winning one, losing one and so on. So, there are two inconsistent teams on show, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the objective is just one - win and stay on that victory track for a long time.
