RCB vs GT Match Prediction In IPL 2025

RCB seem to have all their bases covered, but as far as GT are concerned, their batting looks a bit shaky. Moreover, they do not have too many world-class bowlers at their disposal to trouble the powerful RCB batters. RCB certainly start favourites.

RCB vs GT Best Batter

Without a shadow of a doubt, Virat Kohli is going to be the key batter in this game. If he gets going, it would be tough to stop them. He has started off IPL 2025 well, having hit 90 in two innings.

RCB vs GT Best Bowler

Josh Hazlewood is the one to watch out for in this match. He has been excellent in the powerplay and could very well put his team in a commanding position in the first six over itself. He has picked up five wickets at an economy rate of 5.27 in the tournament so far.
