Despite his success against most teams in the IPL, Gill does not have a particularly favorable record against RCB. Across 17 innings against Bengaluru, including his stint with Kolkata Knight Riders from 2018 to 2021, he has scored 395 runs at an average of 28.21 and a strike rate of 140.56. His only fifty-plus score against RCB came in 2023, when he converted it into a magnificent century that famously knocked Bengaluru out of playoff contention.

Shubman Gill’s Dominance in IPL 2026
While his record against RCB may not be imposing, Gill has been one of the standout performers of IPL 2026. The Gujarat Titans captain has led from the front, combining leadership with exceptional batting form. In 15 innings this season, Gill has amassed 722 runs and currently sits second in the Orange Cap race, trailing teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 776 runs by just 54.
After a disappointing dismissal for 2 in Qualifier 1, Gill responded in emphatic fashion during Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals. He smashed a breathtaking 104 off just 53 balls, registering the fastest century in IPL playoff history and guiding GT into the final.
