Story ProgressBack to homeRoyal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans LIVE Updates, IPL 2026: Sai Sudharsan is nearing his century for GT while captain Shubman Gill eyes a half-century after a shaky start. Sai Sudharsan etched his name into the record books, eclipsing Chris Gayle to become the fastest player to reach the 2,000-run mark in IPL history. Jacob Bethell is set to make his first appearance of the season, replacing Phil Salt, who was ruled out with a late injury. Salt, retained by the defending champions for 11.5 crore, has been in fine form this season. GT has also shuffled their deck, handing a debut to Jason Holder (bought for 7 crore) and bringing in young spinner Manav Suthar to the playing XI.
