Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have built a compact but consequential IPL rivalry. Bengaluru lead the men’s head-to-head 6–4 after ten completed meetings through the 31 May 2026 final. RCB won that final by five wickets, the second time in six days that they beat GT in a 2026 playoff match. The record below includes both knockout games as separate fixtures.
Gujarat joined the competition in 2022 and won the trophy in its debut season. Bengaluru’s first title came in 2025, followed by a defence of the trophy in 2026 against GT. League encounters can still cut the other way: Gujarat won the 30 April 2026 meeting by four wickets. The dated result table, opposition-only batting leaders and last five games show how the broader series reached its current 6–4 split.
Gujarat Titans
Royal Challengers BengaluruGT vs RCB IPL head-to-head record
Bengaluru had five victories to Gujarat’s four across nine meetings before the 2026 final. RCB’s chase of 156 in Ahmedabad supplied its sixth win and the tenth completed match. There were no ties or no-results in those ten meetings. GT’s 2026 league win and RCB’s subsequent Qualifier 1 and final wins are all counted once.
The name on older RCB scorecards may read Royal Challengers Bangalore; it is the same franchise now named Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This table is specifically GT against RCB in the men’s IPL, not each club’s overall tournament win-loss record.

Most runs in GT vs RCB IPL matches
Virat Kohli heads this opponent-specific list with 578 runs against GT. Gujarat’s Sai Sudharsan follows with 291 and Shubman Gill has 255. RCB captain Rajat Patidar has 201, while Rahul Tewatia rounds out the leading five with 186. These totals are for GT–RCB IPL fixtures only, not career IPL runs against every team.
The dated pre-final table recorded Kohli 503, Sudharsan 279, Gill 245, Patidar 186 and Tewatia 179. Their final innings added 75, 12, 10, 15 and 7 respectively. The resulting five figures above use the completed 31 May 2026 final as their cutoff. The top five are ordered by runs, not innings played.
Last five GT vs RCB IPL meetings
The latest two matches were both 2026 playoff fixtures, but they were not the same contest. RCB posted 254/5 and bowled GT out for 162 in Qualifier 1 on 26 May, then met Gujarat again in the final on 31 May. In that final, GT made 155/8 and Bengaluru reached 161/5 in 18 overs; Kohli finished unbeaten on 75.
Gujarat had beaten RCB in a league game on 30 April: Bengaluru were dismissed for 155 and GT reached 158/6. That is a four-wicket victory, not a three-run win inferred by subtracting the totals of a chase. Six days earlier Bengaluru had reached 206/5 against GT’s 205/3. The fifth most recent meeting is from April 2025, when Gujarat’s 170/2 overhauled RCB’s 169/8. This five-match sample contains three RCB wins and two GT wins.
