“Arshad Khan was the standout bowler with three wickets,” said a team spokesperson after the match on April 30, 2026. His exceptional performance contributed significantly to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s collapse against the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru were bowled out for 155 runs in just 19.2 overs. Virat Kohli scored 28 runs off 13 balls before being dismissed. Devdutt Padikkal managed to score 40 runs off 24 balls but could not lead his team to a competitive total.

The Gujarat Titans chased down the target of 156 runs in only 15.5 overs, winning by four wickets. Jason Holder played a crucial role, taking two wickets and catching three players during the match.

RCB experienced a dramatic collapse, losing four wickets for just 17 runs. This sudden downturn marked a significant moment in the game, showcasing Arshad Khan’s impact.

Despite falling short in terms of execution, RCB remains at the top of the table, according to captain Iyer. The catch taken low by Jason Holder sparked controversy as replays appeared inconclusive, but the decision stood.

The match was part of IPL 2026, highlighting both teams’ competitive spirit and ambitions. As they move forward in the tournament, both sides will look to build on this experience.
