Falling short in every department, Gujarat Titans faced off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru during the IPL 2026 championship clash. At Ahmedabad\u2019s Narendra Modi Stadium, under bright lights, the contest unfolded with RCB stepping up in commanding fashion. A composed effort with the bat sealed victory by five wickets, handing them back-to-back titles without needing last-over drama.<\/p>\n
Falling short early, Gujarat struggled to keep up, managing just 155 runs when batting first \u2013 a total RCB reached without much trouble. When discussing what unfolded, ex-England bowler Stuart Broad stepped in, pointing out where GT\u2019s plan fell apart during the match.<\/p>\n
Buttler played at number 3 during the whole event. Then came the last match \u2013 batting first \u2013 he dropped to four. Why switch his spot just for the final? It makes no sense to me. Even AB de Villiers called it a cautious choice, Broad mentioned in a clip on the \u2018For the love of cricket\u2019 YouTube page.<\/p>\n
Surprising move, putting Buttler lower down when he has faced new balls plenty playing opener for England. Feels odd at first glance. Only reason making sense is that backroom team thought track would improve later. Someone needed to hold the fort early on, settle in before conditions turned friendlier. That someone being Jos meant giving him time without pressure building around him.<\/p>\n
Virat Kohli leads RCB to victory with commanding performance
When the match unfolded, GT reached 155 in their first innings. Chasing that score, RCB found momentum \u2013 not through teamwork but through Virat Kohli\u2019s sharp batting. His rhythm carried them forward. Victory followed, marking another championship win within two seasons.<\/p>\n
Batting first, Kohli reached 75 off just 42 balls while guiding his team toward an unforgettable victory that made records tilt. Though quiet at start, he built momentum swiftly until the scoreboard began to reflect what felt inevitable. His knock carried weight without flash, each run piling pressure till the outcome slipped beyond reach of opponents.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
