IPL 2026 Champions

RCB Bowlers Crushed GT’s Batting Lineup

Gujarat Titans entered the final with one of the strongest batting lineups in IPL 2026, but RCB bowlers completely changed the game.

Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler all failed to play big innings under pressure. Rasikh Salam Dar delivered the spell of his life, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood controlled the powerplay brilliantly.

At one stage, GT looked capable of crossing 180+, but RCB’s bowling attack pulled things back perfectly during the death overs.

Kohli Finishes It Like a King

RCB’s chase started explosively with Venkatesh Iyer smashing boundaries everywhere during the powerplay.

Even after a few quick wickets, Virat Kohli remained completely calm. Gujarat Titans tried fighting back through Rashid Khan, but Kohli controlled the innings like a true champion.

Every boundary from Kohli increased the noise inside Ahmedabad. Every run brought RCB fans closer to the dream they had waited years for.

And then came the winning moment.

Virat Kohli standing unbeaten.
RCB winning the IPL trophy.
