Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket

[virasog]

Gujarat Titans lost momentum at the start because Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill did not start with the power hitting, instead, they were waiting for the perfect time or for the perfect bowl to smash. As a result, they wasted many balls, and the pressure built up on their heads. They tried for irregular shots, and now the results are in front of us, GT lost it by a big margin.

Gujarat Titans were just a few runs short; if they had scored 20 to 25 more runs, they would have won the final, says their coach. He is absolutely right because RCB chased the target in the 18th over, but at the same time, I think that RCB were playing freely, they were not taking pressure or coming under pressure. Since the target was low and Virat Kohli was settled on the pitch from the first ball, how could the team lose the game

You were bang on with your predictions while mine were completely wrong in this match. GT basically repeated Q1 like morons and scored a below par target which made RCB 2 time champs. RR or SRH could have probably done a lot better here.
Every playoffs match was boring including the final and ~snip~

Yeah, all the playoff matches were boring including the final match. Maybe it would have been a competitive one if SRH had qualified for the final. GT was an average team, but they managed to be the finalist pretty comfortably this year. RCB has won the match as it was expected to happen. But they took 18 overs to get the trophy, I thought they would chase the below average target within 15 to 17 overs.

Due to this problem, the next middle-order players and the lower middle-order players also faced trouble, and that's why they were only able to score 150-something runs on a pitch where they could have scored these runs in just 12 overs. I thought GT needs to give more effort in the final match, there were so close to winning the final, yet so far.

Virat Kohli with 70 plus runs in the final. Even he remains not out and today his aggression was next level, I am sure if he would get some more balls he was about to score the century but still it is an big achievement to score like this in the big game of final, playing in pressure and even at the same time, you are the player who played the first season of IPL and playing so far only a for a single franchise of RCB. The trophy is home !!

GT batsmen could not perform well in this match. In the end GT scored 155 runs which was not a good target to win. If GT could have scored 200+ then the match would have been competitive but RCB won easily by 5 wickets. Virat Kohli performed brilliantly in this match and he was unbeaten on 75 runs off 42 balls. Congratulations RCB for becoming champions.

Virat Kohli performed his best for Royal Challengers Bangalore today and was unbeaten till the end. He is performing as a reliable batsman, his batting performance has played a huge role in the victory of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Vinkatisha Iyer and Virat Kohli, these two batsmen, were the most reliable as openers and created opportunities for the next batsmen.
Virat Kohli scored 75 runs in 42 balls, which was the toughest challenge of this match. Gujarat team could not score much runs in this match due to the lack of reliable batsmen, Gujarat team lost due to the mistakes of the Gujarat team.

In the final match Gujarat Titans team could not perform well performance. They made bad blunders. They played some shots blindly and they did not go to make partnership. They could scored well runs if they played sensible inning but they could not perform well. So by playing first they scored 155 runs and lost 8 wickets. This total made with very difficulty. On the other hand RCB team bowled very well in the final match. Rasikh salman bowled outstanding bowling. They gave less runs and dismissed 3 main players. Since this total was not tough so they chased this. In batting line virat kohli batting was brilliant. He proved his experience by playing sensible inning. So they performed well and they lifted trophy with a great victory.

Four games in the last phase of IPL 2026 were all one-sided affairs with no good fight from losing teams, making things quite boring because after having too many runs and perfect chases in the early half of the season, fans were excited to have a good fight till the end, but things completely went on the wrong side.
 
The final was also not good enough, as Gujarat Titans lost an early wicket. This let them down, and they were not able to score good runs, but Virat Kohli's inning gave good excitement to fans. He is still hungry for playing and has enough depth. Sadly, this second win came under the captaincy of Partidar, but he is making a good contribution with his bat. Now he can make it three as well; he needs the same level of performance.

Finally RCB became champions for the 2nd time! RCB became champions in 2025 and became champions this year too. So they should be praised for maintaining the consistency.

GT batsmen could not perform well in this match. In the end GT scored 155 runs which was not a good target to win. If GT could have scored 200+ then the match would have been competitive but RCB won easily by 5 wickets. Virat Kohli performed brilliantly in this match and he was unbeaten on 75 runs off 42 balls. Congratulations RCB for becoming champions.

The RCB team's performance was very special from the beginning, which is why they reached the final today. Their first qualified match was against Punjab Kings. After winning that match, the team went straight to the final and in the final they faced the Gujarat team. If we look at this match in detail, the Gujarat team was batted first and they should have played this final match with a little understanding and focus so that they could have targeted better because the team that was playing in front of them looked quite strong at the back and they had no idea about this at all. Washington Sundar is the only player who scored 50 runs and remained not out. Now let's talk about how RCB chased this match. Five RCB players were out due to the tough polling of the Gujarat team, but Virat Kohli, who is Virat, gave full support to his team members. He himself scored 75 run and the rest of the players together chased this target very easily. This final match was theirs. The team won by five wickets and 12 ball.

The final of IPL 2026 might be boring for Gujrat teams fans but for Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans it was an ideal game. You can't win final of an IPL by scoring just 155 runs and its the batting lineup of Gujrat team that needs to be blamed for the loss. Although Gujrat bowlers tried to win the game by picking 4 wickets in quick succession but low target ruined there efforts. Kohli played crucial role in victory of his team and without his innings the Bengaluru team might have faced difficulty in winning the final.
