Tournament Recap

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cemented their legacy by securing back-to-back championships, defeating Gujarat Titans (GT) by 5 wickets in the IPL 2026 Final at Ahmedabad. Opting to bowl first, a disciplined RCB bowling unit spearheaded by Rasikh Salam Dar (3/27) restricted GT to a modest 155/8. In the chase, Virat Kohli anchors a historic championship run with a masterclass unbeaten 75* off 42 balls, battling past injury to comfortably guide RCB across the finish line with 2 overs to spare and lifting their second successive IPL title.

RCB joins Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians as only the third franchise in IPL history to win consecutive titles. Bengaluru completely dominated the 2026 season from beginning to end, finishing top of the league table and storming through the playoffs.
