RCB Lose by 4 Wickets to GT in Ipl Point Table Shift

Royal Challengers Bengaluru lost by four wickets to Gujarat Titans, and the ipl point table did not move after the 30 April 2026 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT chased 156 in 15.5 overs after RCB were all out for 155 in 19.2 overs.

Jason Holder Drives Gujarat Titans

Jason Holder shaped the result at both ends. He took two wickets for 29 runs, scored 12 off 10 balls, and held three catches to earn Player of the Match.

That all-round line gave Gujarat a clean chase after RCB had set only 155. The target was reached with 4 wickets in hand and 4.1 overs unused.

Points Table Stays Tight

The table stayed unchanged after the result. Punjab Kings remained top with 13 points, Rajasthan Royals held fourth place with 12 points from six wins in nine matches, and Lucknow Super Giants stayed at the bottom.

The pressure points are still clear for the teams chasing the cut. Rajasthan need three more victories to reach the playoffs, while Delhi Capitals sit seventh with six points from three wins in eight matches and must win all six remaining games to get in.

Holder, Bhuvneshwar, and the Race

Holder was not the only mover on the night. Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three wickets in the match and went past Eshan Malinga to reach the top of the Purple Cap standings with 17 wickets.

At the top of the Orange Cap race, Abhishek Sharma stayed in front with 425 runs. For RCB, the defeat did not shift the table, but it sharpened the margin for error for the sides still chasing playoff spots.

That leaves the standings exactly where they were, but with less room left for the clubs behind Punjab. RCB’s loss also handed Gujarat Titans a result that mattered most in the small gaps between teams still fighting to stay alive.
