Sunday’s Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Titans live telecast in the 2026 IPL final sees Virat Kohli’s reigning champions take on the Shubman Gill-led 2022 winners at the mammoth Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
It took Kohli and RCB 18 long years to capture their first IPL title, and now they are favorites to take two in a row. After topping the league standings, they dismantled Sunday’s opponents in the qualifier by 92 runs thanks to captain Rajat Patidar’s 93* off 33 balls, followed by three wickets for Jacob Duffy. With Virat and Venkatesh Iyer at the top of the order and seamers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood backing them, they have the tools to win it all again.
They face a Gujarati team who will believe they are due sweet revenge after the humiliating way they fell in Qualifier 1 last Tuesday. It looked like they might have been knocked out of the competition on Friday, but for a magnificent century from super captain Gill. In the tournament’s leading wicket-taker Kagiso Rabada, they have a bowler who can make a hole in any batting order, while destructive batsmen like Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have destroyed many bowling units in the past.
