A grand night at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru defend their title by beating Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Sunday, May 31. RCB cemented their legacy in the league by becoming only the third team after Chennai Super Kings (2010 & 2011) and Mumbai Indians (2019 & 2020) to defend their title.
RCB opted to bowl first at the gigantic venue, and the move worked wonders as the defending champions restricted the Shubman Gill-led side to just 155 for 8 in the first innings, powered by Washington Sundar’s (50* off 37) unbeaten half-century. They did not face any trouble whatsoever in chasing the target, as hit the winning runs to see the side lift their second-consecutive IPL title.
For Gujarat Titans, it was their third appearance in the summit clash of the league since their debut in 2022, when they also won the title in the first attempt under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy. In their 2026 campaign, where they looked quite dominant, pressure eventually seemed to have got the better of GT, as they fell to tight bowling by the Bengaluru bowlers.
