Who won IPL 2026 match Yesterday? RCB vs GT Match Results, Top Players, Match Summary & Award Winners

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) faced Gujarat Titans (GT) in a thrilling encounter that took place at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.

RCB pulled off a dominant performance to defeat GT by 92 runs in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, securing a direct ticket to the grand finale.

After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the Gujarat Titans failed to contain the Royal Challengers Bengaluru as they posted a massive, record-breaking total of 254/5 in their 20 overs.

RCB was propelled by a magnificent 93 off 33 balls from captain Rajat Patidar and a brisk start of 43 off 25 balls from Virat Kohli in the powerplay. Krunal Pandya also contributed a vital 43 off 28 balls in the middle overs. Jason Holder was among the wickets for GT, claiming two scalps (2/39). Kagiso Rabada (2/54) also provided breakthroughs in his respective four-over spell but proved costly.

In response, the Gujarat Titans chase crumbled under the immense scoreboard pressure as they were bundled out for 162 in 19.3 overs. A fighting counter-attack from Rahul Tewatia, who smashed 68 off 43 balls, and Jos Buttler's explosive 29 off 11 deliveries were the only major highlights in a disappointing batting display that also saw opener Sai Sudharsan depart via a bizarre hit-wicket.

Jacob Duffy was the pick of the bowlers for RCB, claiming a three-wicket haul (3/39) and rocking the GT lineup early. Rasikh Salam (2/24), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/28), and Krunal Pandya (2/16) also claimed two wickets each to ensure the Gujarat Titans fell short of the target.
