IPL 2025, RCB vs GT: Effervescent Buttler helps Titans lord it over Royal Challengers
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Indian Premier League homecoming went awry as Gujarat Titans registered a thumping eight-wicket victory with more than two overs to spare at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday (April 2, 2025).A fiery fast-bowling performance from RCB old-timer Mohammed Siraj (three for 19) and an effervescent batting effort from Jos Buttler (73 n.o., 39b, 5x4, 6x6) brought Titans their second victory from three matches even as it handed RCB its first defeat in three.Chasing a modest 170, the visitors did not set the PowerPlay ablaze, scoring just 42 runs for the loss of skipper Shubman Gill (14, 14b, 1x4, 1x6). But Buttler’s calculated assault in the middle overs ensured that the Titans were always ahead of the curve.
