Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will clash with 2022 champions Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 34th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday.
The defending champions suffered their first home defeat of the season when they went down to the Delhi Capitals on April 18. Despite that setback, they have been among the standout sides in IPL 2026 and will aim to bounce back strongly in their final home fixture at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Following this game, they are scheduled to play their remaining two league-stage home matches at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans head into the contest after a heavy 99-run defeat against the Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium on April 20. That loss ended their three-match winning run, and they will be keen to regroup quickly. However, overcoming one of the IPL’s most challenging venues presents a significant test.
