GT vs RCB Highlights: Full Match Summary

The final of IPL 2026, played between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), offered all that cricket followers expected from the match. The final was played on Narendra Modi Stadium, which is one of the most famous stadiums in India and the match was full of stars and great moments including superb bowling and a captain’s knock by one of the best cricketers ever.

Finally, RCB managed to win the IPL title after beating Gujarat Titans by five wickets. It is necessary to mention that the winning team won the tournament for the second year in a row. Virat Kohli deserves special attention since once again showed that he is one of the match-winning legends.

Gujarat Titans Struggle to Build Momentum

Losing the toss, Gujarat Titans were put in to chase first in the final match of IPL 2022. GT went into the game with great confidence following their fantastic season and Qualifier 2 win. But then RCB’s efficient bowling department put constant pressure on Gujarat right from the beginning of the game.

The loss of wickets at key moments meant that GT was not able to make big partnerships in this match. Their batters struggled against RCB pace attack as the game progressed. Key dismissals of the GT batters meant that RCB had momentum in this final game.

Washington Sundar came up with a gritty knock for his side and saved some blushes for Gujarat. He was the only GT batter who was playing freely against the RCB bowlers. Washington’s 59-run knock meant that GT would still have a decent total to defend.

At the end of the 20-over spell, Gujarat scored 155/8 on the board. It was an average total but still a challenging one for RCB in the final game where pressure can always make or break teams.
