Royal Challengers Bengaluru bulldozed Gujarat Titans with a sensational bowling display in the IPL 2026 final, restricting them to a below-par 155/8 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. RCB’s pace trio of Rasikh Salam Dar (3/27), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/29) and Josh Hazlewood (2/37) ripped through GT’s star-studded batting line-up, leaving the Titans struggling for momentum throughout the innings.The biggest blow for Gujarat came when their prolific top order failed to deliver on the grand stage. Captain Shubman Gill managed just 10 off eight balls, while Sai Sudharsan scored 12 from 12 deliveries. With the duo dismissed inside the first four overs, GT crawled to 45/2 in the powerplay.Washington Sundar fought a lone battle, remaining unbeaten on 50 off 37 balls, but lacked support from the other end as wickets continued to tumble. Earlier, RCB won the toss and elected to bowl first, opting to go into the final without Phil Salt. Gujarat Titans made one change, bringing back Arshad Khan in place of Sai Kishore.
