GT Win by Eight Wickets | RCB vs GT Highlights of IPL 2025: Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford Help Gujarat Titans Complete Clinical Chase

That's It! Clinical victory for Gujarat Titans in the end. At one point it looked like Sai Sudharsan's wicket can make things tricky for GT but Sherfane Rutherford started strongly and Jos Buttler also teed off. In the end, the completed the chase in 13 balls to spare. Good bowling performance from GT is topped by a controlled chase and they are now in a two-game winning streak. 

Not much trouble for the GT batters as they are getting regular boundaries without taking much risk. Josh Hazlewood opened a window for them but Sherfane Rutherford and Josh Buttler have kept it smoothly going. 

Out! Sai Sudharsan finally departs and it is the golden arm of Josh Hazlewood. Returns in his second spell and Sai tries to play a ramp to him the same way he did in the powerplay. Hazlewood was ready this time and watched his feet to drag the length back, Sai miscues it and the ball lops to the wicketkeeper. Big wicket at a big moment for RCB. Sai Sudharsan c Jitesh Sharma b Hazlewood 49(36) .

Not much happened for Royal Challengers Bengaluru after the powerplay. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have consolidated and scalped occasional boundaries to keep the required run rate under check. They will look to take the match as deep as possible. 

Out! Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes. This script has been followed too many times today. Shubman Gill charges to hit a solid six to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He goes again next ball and gets an outside edge which flies to Liam Livingstone and deep backward point. Big wicket for RCB. Shubman Gill c Livingstone b Bhuvneshwar 14(14).

Some quality bowling from RCB upfront and the GT openers are tied here. They have knocking around for singles and trying to get a consolidated start by playing out RCB's new ball bowlers. Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are relentless though. 

Out! Prasidh Krishna saves himself in the last over. Goes full and cleans up Tim David's stumps. The over has been expensive with David getting a hold of him but Prasidh has the last laugh. RCB will be happy that they have made a decent recovery from where they were once at a point of time. Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David staged the comeback for them. GT will be disappointed to not to hold them for cheaper. Tim David b Prasidh 32(18).

Out! Finally Liam Livingstone's innings comes to an end. Mohammed Siraj bowled an wide short of length ball and Livingstone cut the ball ending up getting a nick on it. He has done his job. GT will be happy to remove him.  Livingstone c Buttler b Siraj 54(40).

Liam Livingstone has turned the tide for RCB. He was scratchy throughout and got multiple lives but, in the end, managed to get enough shots landing to get to his half-century and keep RCB's hopes alive. They still have the opening of a very good finish. 

Not a very good spell from Rashid Khan as he leaked runs at a situation where he could have added to the choke. Rather it was Sai Kishore who troubled the batters more. Liam Livingstone and Tim David have got occasional boundaries and kept the opening of a strong finish on. 

Out! Sai Kishore has brought GT ahead in the game once again. First bowled a slow and away going ball to Jitesh Sharma to didn't get the ball in arc while stepping out and ended up getting holed out at the deep. Then he bowled a carrom ball which stopped on Krunal Pandya and gently lobbed back to the bowler. RCB on collapse again. Krunal Pandya c and b Sai Kishore 5(5) and Jitesh Sharma c Rahul Tewatia b Sai Kishore 33(21).

After the early, Liam Livingstone has stabilised things a little and Jitesh Sharma has took the attack back to the GT bowlers. He struck Ishan Sharma for 17 runs in one-over adding a little bit of bulk to the RCB scorecard. They are still under pressure and need to extend the partnership. 

Out! The captain departs and it is a massive blow to the batting side. Ishant Sharma was hit for a boundary in the first ball and he struck back instantly getting one to skid in and hit Patidar on the pad low. RCB are now in a collapse and struggling. Rajat Patidar lbw b Ishant 12(12).

Out! Mohammed Siraj finally wins the battle against Phil Salt. Was troubling him since the start and after conceding a huge six, keeps a keen watch on Salt's feet and cleans him up. Siraj is flying and GT are on the frontfoot here. Phil Salt b Siraj 14(13).

Out! Mohammed Siraj is on a roll. Was unlucky to miss out on the Phil Salt wicket and then returns in the next over to make a ball seam away a bit. Padikkal charges at him and gets his stumps knocked over. GT will want more here. Padikkal b Siraj 4(3).

Out! Big blow in the second over. There was respite for RCB when Jos Buttler dropped Phil Salt but not now as Virat Kohli has played a pull shot straight to the hands of the deep mid-wicket. Brilliant bowling plan and execution from GT and Arshad Khan. Kohli c Prasidh b Arshad Khan 7(6).
