RCB had previously lost momentum after a fast start in Ahmedabad, but this time Patidar\u2019s acceleration changed the tempo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTo beat a side that has repeatedly hunted down totals with ease, RCB needed to take more chances than they would normally in a knockout situation. Gill showed the kind of calm that comes with experience, while Sudharsan batted with the assurance of a player who looks comfortable across formats, turning chases into something almost routine.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why the stakes felt clear even before the ball was swung properly: Gill and Sudharsan had already piled up more than 700 runs as an opening duo this season, the most by any pair. RCB knew they couldn\u2019t simply \u201ccompete\u201d\u2014they had to force the match to move into unfamiliar territory for GT.<\/p>\n
Mo Bobat, RCB\u2019s director of cricket, explained that the mindset was to generate pressure rather than merely absorb it. \u201cWe put ourselves under some healthy pressure and said, \u2018Let\u2019s see if we can take the game beyond them,\u2019\u201d Bobat said. He added that the aggression from the first delivery was rooted in respect for GT, especially the calibre of their top order, with RCB trying to push the tempo and direction of the match out of GT\u2019s comfort zone.<\/p>\n
Powerplay pressure and early disruption<\/h3>\n
The first real signal that RCB\u2019s plan was working came as early as the fifth over. Gill had already moved towards plan B, and the bowling rhythm reflected how much RCB wanted to test GT\u2019s early phase. Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj had been dominant through the powerplay in match after match, and GT had the best economy and the most wickets in that phase in the competition.<\/p>\n
Even so, by four overs in, RCB had brought on Jason Holder. The move wasn\u2019t just about personnel\u2014it was about making GT adjust. RCB\u2019s powerplay challenge asked GT to deviate from what they typically script for themselves when the innings begins.<\/p>\n
There was also context from the venue. The previous two IPL 2026 matches in Dharamsala had ended comfortably in favour of the chasing team. GT, playing their first-ever game here, were hoping the pattern would continue. Bobat later noted that RCB would have chosen to field first had they won the toss, and the twist of losing it may have actually helped unlock the strategy they had shaped.<\/p>\n
That decision pushed RCB into committing fully to the only route they believed could work\u2014dragging GT away from their planned execution. Their team selection mirrored that idea. Instead of packing the XI to the point of flexibility until No. 8, RCB effectively travelled with one batter fewer, leaving room for the impact-player manoeuvre.<\/p>\n
Romario Shepherd was eventually called in, but only after GT had already stumbled early by losing five wickets in the powerplay\u2014the first time that kind of collapse had happened to them. RCB could have gone for another seamer, or even Suyash Sharma, if they wanted extra bowling cover, but the initial choice aligned with what they expected the wicket and match situation to demand.<\/p>\n
Bobat described the approach as strongly tied to conditions. He said RCB had the advantage of having played at the venue previously, giving them a sense of what the pitch might do. He also acknowledged the difference in timing\u2014this was an evening game, after a day match experience\u2014before adding that they used the impact player differently from earlier fixtures. \u201cIt ended up being a decent luxury,\u201d Bobat said, \u201cbecause we didn\u2019t use all our batters and could think more specifically about what we needed in the second innings.\u201d<\/p>\n
In other words, it wasn\u2019t just a case of backing strengths. RCB had designed selection, match tempo, and bowling-batting intent with GT and the surface in mind, tailoring the contest rather than copying a generic template.<\/p>\n
A blueprint from Eden Gardens<\/h3>\n
Recently, KKR had shown the rest of the competition a possible way to attack GT at Eden Gardens. Before that, most teams had treated GT cautiously\u2014trying to survive Rabada and Siraj first, then hitting back later. KKR changed the pattern immediately: Finn Allen attacked the new ball, disrupted lengths before GT\u2019s quicks could settle, and most importantly carried the pressure all the way to a century.<\/p>\n
That century powered KKR to a formidable total of 247, taking the game beyond GT\u2019s reach. In many ways, the defeat that followed\u2014and now this one\u2014highlighted the boundaries GT can hit when opponents refuse to play their early phase on GT\u2019s terms.<\/p>\n
RCB\u2019s method found parallels in how GT\u2019s batting was challenged. Virat Kohli, Venkatesh Iyer and Devdutt Padikkal attacked the lengths right away, similar to what Allen had done earlier in Kolkata. Rajat Patidar then completed the picture with a knock that shifted the match decisively.<\/p>\n
RCB had already previewed parts of this approach when they met earlier in Ahmedabad. Kohli went after Rabada and struck five boundaries off him. Still, Tuesday\u2019s execution felt even bolder. Rabada\u2019s first three deliveries to Kohli in the second over beat him completely\u2014there was movement, bounce and pace off the deck, and the early signs looked ominous.<\/p>\n
Yet Kohli responded quickly, getting into rhythm within minutes. The same Rabada who had been suffocating batters in the powerplay for much of the season ended up conceding 39 in his first three overs. That was the most expensive he had been this season in the opening six overs. RCB\u2019s powerplay impact stood out not only for the aggression, but for how they maintained tempo\u2014many boundaries came from balls that weren\u2019t necessarily bad deliveries.<\/p>\n
There was also a clear learning curve from the Ahmedabad meeting. After a fast start there, RCB lost their way. This time, they had their captain to thank for a sharper recovery when the innings threatened to unravel after Holder dismissed Kohli and Padikkal in the same over. The early stage wasn\u2019t smooth at all: at one point Patidar was 16 off 11 and he was dropped on 20.<\/p>\n
But the shift after that was ferocious without looking like Patidar was swinging in anger. GT were left stunned. Then RCB accelerated hard, smashing 114 runs in the final six overs on the back of Patidar\u2019s assault\u2014he made 71 from his last 19 balls. Once that burst arrived, the flow of the match changed completely.<\/p>\n
GT had never chased anything close to this in the past. They hadn\u2019t scored more than 233 in a chase, and suddenly the target wasn\u2019t one their top order could simply glide through with clinical execution.<\/p>\n
Early wickets and a clear message<\/h3>\n
RCB understood early wickets would be decisive, and they acted accordingly. They took two early strikes: Sai Sudharsan was dismissed hit wicket, while Gill fell to Bhuvneshwar Kumar in a way that echoed Gill\u2019s earlier dismissal against Trent Boult in Qualifier 2 last season. The pattern was familiar\u2014Gill was looking to whip one across the line against the angle coming in\u2014until the ball didn\u2019t cooperate, and this time it ended with a bowled dismissal.<\/p>\n
Gill\u2019s long walk back and the frustrated tap on his helmet before he sat down summed up the night\u2019s story. GT had been outsmarted and outplayed\u2014RCB\u2019s plan had not just put them under pressure, it had forced GT to react to a match that refused to follow their script.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
