The 14th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will take place on April 2 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. This will be RCB’s first home match of the season. The stadium recently hosted Women’s Premier League (WPL) matches, and although WPL concluded three weeks ago, the pitch appears drier and browner than usual due to heat and dry conditions.

RCB vs GT Playing 11 Prediction
Before the match, let’s look at the predicted playing XI and Dream11 fantasy team suggestions for both teams.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have no injury concerns, and they are unlikely to make changes to their winning combination, which provides the team with a balanced setup. One key battle to watch out for will be Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar against GT’s top order.
- Josh Hazlewood’s hard-length deliveries have been effective in the IPL, but he will face a tough challenge from Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, and Sai Sudharsan, who have strong records against such deliveries.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar, however, has a great record against them, dismissing Jos Buttler seven times and Shubman Gill three times.
Gujarat Titans’ Strengths and Challenges
GT’s top three batters have been in excellent form, helping the team cross 200 runs in their first match and nearly reaching 200 in the next.
- In the bowling department, GT’s spinners Rashid Khan and R Sai Kishore will face a tough challenge against in-form batters.
- Rajat Patidar, one of the best spin-hitters, could be a major threat to GT’s spinners.
