Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured a five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans, powered by a masterful chase led by veteran batter Virat Kohli. Kohli's commanding 81 off 44 balls was the centerpiece of Bengaluru's successful pursuit of 206.
Gujarat's Sai Sudharsan scored an impressive 100 off 58 balls, his maiden century, lifting his team to 205-3. However, his effort was ultimately not enough.
Kohli, known as the 'chase master', took charge after an early setback, striking eight fours and four sixes. He was eventually dismissed by Jason Holder.
Devdutt Padikkal provided crucial support with an electrifying 55 off 27 balls, including six sixes, before falling to spinner Rashid Khan. Krunal Pandya and Tim David finalized the chase after a late stumble.
Sudharsan's innings featured 11 fours and five sixes before being caught and bowled by Josh Hazlewood. Captain Shubman Gill added 32.
The win propels Bengaluru to second in the standings. Gujarat, currently seventh, faces Chennai Super Kings next.
