IPL 2025 Points Table: Updated Standings Following RCB vs GT Match
Gujarat Titans (GT) stormed to an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 14th match of IPL 2025 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Chasing a target of 170, GT cruised home in just 17.5 overs, putting on a clinical show with both bat and ball.
GT’s Bowlers Set the Tone
Opting to bowl first, GT’s attack dismantled RCB’s top order early. Mohammed Siraj (3/19) and Sai Kishore (2/22) struck vital blows as Virat Kohli (7), Phil Salt (14), and Rajat Patidar (12) fell cheaply. RCB found themselves in deep trouble at 42/4 inside 6.2 overs.
Liam Livingstone (54 off 40) and Jitesh Sharma (33 off 21) steadied the innings, stitching a crucial partnership. Tim David (32 off 18) added some fireworks towards the end, pushing RCB to 169/8 in 20 overs—still below par on a batting-friendly surface.
Buttler’s Blazing Knock Seals the Deal
GT’s chase was nothing short of spectacular, with Jos Buttler leading from the front. The Englishman hammered an unbeaten 73 off just 39 balls, lacing his innings with five fours and six towering sixes at a strike rate of 187.18.
Sai Sudharsan (49 off 36) provided a steady hand before falling to Josh Hazlewood. Sherfane Rutherford (30* off 18) ensured a smooth finish, taking GT to 170/2 with ease.
RCB’s bowling lacked the bite to contain GT’s aggressive approach. Josh Hazlewood (1/43) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/23) were the only wicket-takers but failed to make a significant impact.
