We’re always looking at match-ups in the Indian Premier League and here’s another exciting match-up for all those looking at Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bangalore games. Whether you’re betting on games or selecting the best fantasy team for any GT vs RCB games, this page will help you in making the right decisions.
In particular, we’ll take a look at the batting statistics of batting legend Virat Kohli against all the bowlers in the Gujarat Titans squad of IPL 2024. The numbers will go back all the way in IPL history, regardless of which teams these bowlers have represented in the past. This Kohli vs GT stat guide includes runs, wickets, strike rates, and averages against each bowler.
Kohli has had issues against Rashid Khan in the past, both in the IPL as well as internationally. However, his strike rate and average has slightly increased against the leg-spinner in the last couple of seasons. He’s started using his feet better against the spin, and we think the threat against Rashid is almost negated by the time we entered the IPL 2024 season.

Another leg-spinner in Rahul Tewatia has been used against Kohli in the past too, but without any success. Additionally, Tewatia hasn’t bowled in IPL 2024 since he’s been picked as a specialist batsman now. From the newer lot of IPL players in the GT squad, Azmatullah Omarzai, Sandeep Warrier, and Josh Little are yet to bowl to King Kohli in this competition.

From among the pacers, Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav have bowled a lot to Kohli in IPL history, but the former is yet to dismiss VK18. Umesh hasn’t been a regular part of the GT squad this year, even though he’s dismissed Kohli on three occasions. Apart from Rashid and Umesh Yadav, none of these bowlers have even taken the wicket of Kohli in the IPL yet.
Very new in his IPL career so far, R Sai Kishore is going to be the biggest threat. Though he’s not dismissed Kohli yet, the batsman has struggled against left-arm spin, getting only 8 runs in 14 deliveries faced against Sai Kishore. Overall, Kohli strikes at an SR of 140+ against all GT bowlers, with a batting average of 66+ against them. See various Kohli vs GT metrics here:
Kohli is likely to improve these numbers in the GT vs RCB clash of IPL 2024 because he's been in good form and he's been scoring at much higher than his usual IPL career strike rate as well.
