The 14th match of IPL 2025 will take place at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face Gujarat Titans (GT).
This marks Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) first home game of the season, and they are coming in with strong momentum, having won both of their previous matches.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have had a mixed start, with one win and one loss. To secure a win, Gujarat will need to dismiss RCB’s top-order players early, as they have the ability to turn the game in their team’s favor.
The pitch is dry but firm, with a good covering of grass, which should provide consistent bounce. The ball is expected to come onto the bat nicely, making it a favorable surface for stroke play. With an average first-innings total of 197, the toss may not have a major impact on the game.

What captains said…
Rajat Patidar: Would’ve bowled first as well because it’s a new surface. It’s pretty hard and won’t change much. The way boys are chipping in gives a lot of confidence as a captain. We love this crowd. The way they love us and the support we’ve always received is incredible. Same team.
Shubman Gill: We’ll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket. We’ve seen the conditions don’t change much. We’re all about reducing our unforced errors. We’ll try to finetune the areas that need it. Kagiso misses out due to personal reasons so we’ve got Arshad Khan back.
