Suyash Sharma has snared five scalps in six matches for RCB so far in the IPL 2026.
Suyash Sharma has finally earned the breakthrough for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru after a stellar 128-run opening stand between Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan in the RCB vs GT IPL 2026 match. After sending the Gujarat Titans’ skipper back in the pavillion, the spinner celebrated the wicket with a bow. Notably, it is Gill’s trademark celebration, which he usually performs after notching up a ton.

Previously, Suyash had suffered a blow on his finger while attempting a caught-and-bowled against Sudharsan. However, after receiving medical care from the physios, the bowler went back to his run-up and ended up dismissing Gill just a ball later. He finished off his spell by conceding 36 runs in his four-over quota and the crucial wicket of Gill, who managed 32 runs off 24 balls.

After a disastrous batting display in their previous fixture against the Mumbai Indians (MI), the visitors scripted a stunning comeback, notching up 205/3 in the RCB vs GT IPL 2026 match. A sublime century from Sudharsan headlined the innings, amassing a total of 11 boundaries and five sixes off 58 balls.
But while coming in at No.3 and No.4, respectively, Jos Buttler and Washington Sundar could not carry on the momentum. They scored a combined 44 runs off 28 deliveries as the hosts tried to clinch the game back. However, a late surge from Jason Holder helped the side cross the 200-run mark. The Caribbean all-rounder put up a blazing 10-ball 23 not out, laced with two maximums and a four in his debut match for GT.
The contest between RCB and GT stands even, with both sides claiming three matches each so far. But Rajat Patidar and Co. would be keen to take the lead against the Titans by winning tonight’s fixture. They have started off well in the chase and are at 50/1 after five overs, with Virat Kohli (16 off 11) and Devdutt Padikkal (18 off 9) at the crease.
