Sunday’s live stream of Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 final sees Virat Kohli’s defending champions take on the Shubman Gill-led 2022 winners at the gargantuan Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
It took Kohli and RCB 18 long years to win their first IPL title, and now they are favorites to win two on the trot. After topping the table, they then dismantled Sunday’s opponents in the qualifiers 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 leading the order and seamers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood supporting them, they have the tools to win it all again.
They meet a Gujarati team who will believe they are entitled to sweet revenge after the humiliating way in which they lost during qualifying 1 last Tuesday. It looked like they might have exited the competition on Friday, but for a superb century from super skipper Gill. In the tournament’s leading wicket-taker Kagiso Rabada, they have a bowler capable of punching a hole in any batting order, while destructive hitters like Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have destroyed many a bowling unit in the past.
