The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) continued their resurgence in the Tata IPL 2024 with a dominant 9-wicket victory over the Gujarat Titans (GT) in a high-scoring match no.45. Played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 28th, 2024, the encounter was a display of power-hitting and clinical bowling.

GT Set Up a Target of 201

Opting to bowl first, RCB restricted GT to a total of 200/3. Openers Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill fell cheaply, but a brilliant partnership between Sai Sudharsan (84* off 49) and Shahrukh Khan (58 off 30) revived the GT innings. Despite picking up wickets at regular intervals, RCB's bowlers couldn't contain the flow of runs, with David Miller (26* off 19) providing late impetus.

Jacks Stars in RCB's Clinical Chase

Chasing 201, RCB displayed exceptional batting prowess. Openers Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli provided a solid foundation before Will Jacks stole the show. The explosive English batsman struck a blistering 100 off just 41 deliveries, the fifth-fastest century in IPL history. Kohli chipped in with a well-made 54, and RCB chased down the target with 4 overs to spare.
