बेंगलुरु vs गुजरात, फाइनल, नरेंद्र मोदी स्टेडियम, अहमदाबाद, 31 May 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

In the air...but out of reach! Leg-break by Rashid, on a good length, on off. The ball stops on Kohli, who tries to push it down the ground. He plays it uppishly and despite an acrobatic leap to his left by Rashid, the ball evades him. Single taken.

Tossed up, on off, David blocks it off.

SIX! Just over! Rashid drops it fractionally short, on off. David picks the length early and smacks it down the ground with a horizontal bat. Not from the middle of the bat but enough to clear the leaping Kagiso Rabada on the long on fence. 33 more needed for RCB.

Flatter and shorter, on middle. Tim punches it to long on and crosses over.

Around leg, on a good length. Virat clips it through square leg and limps to the other end.

Dishes out the googly, a bit shorter, on middle. David rocks back and heaves it towards deep mid-wicket for a run.

Across the off stump, on a good length. David stays back and dabs it to the right of point for a single. Kohli jogs to the other end to complete the run.

Hits the back of a length, on off. Kohli tucks it wide of mid-wicket and sets off before being sent back by David.

Fuller in length, on off. Kohli presents the full face of the bat and eases it wide of mid off. The long on fielder gets around and tidies up. Just a single.

FOUR! In the gap! Arshad digs it in short, outside off, just above the shoulder. David hops and gets his hands high to slap it between cover and mid off for a boundary. 24 more needed for RCB.

Leaving the right-hander and this is fuller in length. Tim slices it with an open bat face but picks out the man at backward point.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The Titans get the review right and Tim David departs with RCB needing 24 more runs. Arshad gets the ball to move away off the deck, on a good length, on off and middle. David does not move his feet at all and brings his bat out in front for the block. The ball decks away to go past the outside edge before going through to the keeper, Jos Buttler. Was there an edge? GT think so but the appeal gets turned down. There was a noise, and Shubman Gill takes the review. A spike on the UltraEdge when the ball is next to the bat and the on-field decision will have to be overturned. RCB are now 5 down for 132.

Starts with a full ball, aimed at the sticks. Kohli knocks it down towards long on and gets to the other end.

Good length and on off, Virat Kohli opens the bat face and steers it on the bounce to backward point.

FOUR! Put away with ease! Arshad serves the short ball but the line is a little too straight, around leg. Kohli stays inside the line and rolls his wrists to help the pull towards deep fine leg for a boundary. RCB require 13 more runs.

Touch fuller and around off, Virat Kohli drives it away to sweeper cover for a single.

Short of a length and on off, Jitesh Sharma stays back and keeps it out to the off side.

Hard length and on off, Jitesh Sharma pats it with a straight bat towards mid off for a run.

Kohli survives! Arshad Khan serves this fuller and around off, Virat Kohli looks to loft it down the ground but miscues it off the bottom half of the bat. It flies towards mid on, where Shubman Gill dives forward and grabs it with both hands. He is claiming the catch, but Kohli is not going anywhere. The third umpire is called upon to check the catch. The replay shows that when Gill's hands hit the ground, the ball just pops out, and some part of the ball is in contact with the ground. It is Not Out, and Kohli throws a punch in delight. He wants to stay till the end.

Edgy! Rashid serves the googly, a bit too short, on middle and leg. Jitesh hops back to turn it away. He closes the bat face early and the ball pops up off a leading edge but drops well in front of cover.

FOUR! SCORES LEVEL! Arshad Khan bangs this into the pitch, on middle, Virat Kohli backs away, gets on top of the bounce and swats it wide of mid on for a boundary. 

SIX! Virat Kohli finishes things off in style! A slower one from Arshad Khan, full and on middle, in the slot as well. Kohli clears his front leg and launches it over the long on fence for a biggie. A maiden IPL title was years in the making, but a second has followed immediately. RCB ARE CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN. Virat points to the stands, and the celebrations begin in the Bengaluru camp. They beat GT by 5 wickets.
