Its A Final, But For Me Its A Normal Game: Patidar Focuses On Staying Calm Ahead Of IPL Title Clash
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar is keeping emotions and expectations in check ahead of the IPL 2026 final against the Gujarat Titans, insisting that Sundays title clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium is 'a normal game' for him despite the stakes involved. RCB enter the final as defending champions after another dominant campaign in which they topped the league standings and secured direct qualification for the summit clash with a crushing 92-run win over the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. Speaking ahead of the final, Patidar said the team is drawing confidence from both its recent performances and the memories of last years title-winning campaign at the same venue. Feeling great, back-to-back finals, and on the same ground. So, there are a lot of memories of last year. Its a final, its a big stage, but for me I think its a normal game, Patidar said in a video released by RCB on X. The RCB skipper stressed the importance of staying focused on the present rather than getting carried away by the occasion. I always like to take a big game also as a normal game. And I always try to be more in the present. I dont want to think too much ahead. That its going to be final. What is going to happen. Nothing about the result. Stay more in the present, he added. RCB have been one of the standout teams of IPL 2026, finishing the league stage with nine wins from 14 matches. Their campaign featured impressive victories over Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, while the side also responded strongly to difficult phases during the tournament. Patidar credited the collective effort of the squad for helping the franchise reach a second consecutive final. We should be proud of the way we played till now in this tournament. Everyone has dominated. Everyone has contributed for the team. So its a good positive sign for them, he said. Reflecting on the opportunity to return to the Narendra Modi Stadium, Patidar said the team is eager to add another special chapter to its history. Great memories here. And we want to create some more memories in a couple of days time, he said. Head coach Andy Flower echoed his captains confidence while praising the teams consistency throughout the season. Feeling great, back-to-back finals, and on the same ground. So, there are a lot of memories of last year. The boys have done a brilliant job over a period of time to get here, Flower said. And get here with some style as well. It takes a lot of hard work and thought and courage from the boys out here, in the middle, in games, and a lot of nerve to top the table in this league. But theres more to do, obviously, he added. Feeling great, back-to-back finals, and on the same ground. So, there are a lot of memories of last year. The boys have done a brilliant job over a period of time to get here, Flower said.

IPL 2026: Gujarat's Gill Banks On Home Advantage In Final Against Bengaluru
Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill on Saturday said he is not burdened by expectations of home fans and will make use of familiar conditions in the IPL final against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Ahmedabad. Gujarat hammered Rajasthan Royals in the last play-off to qualify for their third final in five years, winning the title in 2022. One of two latest teams in the T20 tournament, Gujarat won the trophy at the 130,000 Narendra Modi Stadium in their debut season and then lost the final next year in 2023 -- both under Hardik Pandya. Gill, who is India's Test and ODI captain, took over as Gujarat skipper ahead of the 2024 season and now heads into his first final as leader. Honestly, I don't really get burdened by expectations, said the 26-year-old Gill. There are advantages, that's how I see it, there's familiarity when we play there, we know the wicket, we know the ground, so, we know what kind of cricket we need to play there to be able to win. Gill, who hit 104 in the second qualifier in New Chandigarh on Friday, has amassed 722 runs, putting him second in the batting chart behind Rajasthan's 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on 776. Gill's opening partner, Sai Sudharsan, is third with 710 runs and the pair have laid the foundation of Gujarat's success. Bengaluru, led by Rajat Patidar, beat Gujarat in the first play-off to secure direct entry into the final. Patidar tasted success last year when his team and star player Virat Kohli won their first IPL trophy in their 18th attempt. 'Rollercoaster ride' Patidar will be in elite company if he wins back-to-back titles, feat achieved by only two IPL captains including M.S. Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings - 2010-11) and Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians 2019-20). I've never thought about what the other captains have done before and (whether I) had to compete with somebody or not, said Patidar. As an individual my journey has been a rollercoaster ride. I focus on the present, without bothering too much about the past and future. I am here to prepare and give the best in the final tomorrow. Bengaluru return to the venue they won the title last year after beating Punjab Kings in the final. But Patidar said they will play with a fresh mindset. You cannot keep talking about 2025 -- you have to be more in the present and do whatever best you can do to win the title, said Patidar. Also Read: Live Cricket Score As I said earlier, that we are not here with the mindset of defending champion. We have an opportunity to win one more title. It's a new season.

The Indian Premier League: The Indian Premier League season that began with ten teams chasing a dream now comes down to two franchises separated by contrasting styles but united by a common ambition. Under the lights of the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans will meet in the IPL 2026 final with the trophy and a place in league history at stake. For Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the opportunity is clear: a victory would make them only the third franchise, after Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, to successfully defend an IPL crown. For the Gujarat Titans, the challenge is equally compelling. Playing at home and seeking a second title in four seasons, they have the chance to avenge their crushing defeat to RCB in Qualifier 1 and reclaim the crown they last lifted in 2022. The finalists have travelled different routes to reach the summit clash. RCB stormed directly into the final after dismantling Gujarat by 92 runs earlier this week, posting a playoff-record 254/5 in a display of relentless batting aggression. The Titans were forced to take the longer road, regrouping swiftly to overcome Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 and secure another shot at the title. The contest presents an intriguing tactical battle. Bengaluru's success has been built on fearless batting, with Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Tim David, and Venkatesh Iyer forming arguably the deepest batting unit in the competition. Their willingness to attack regardless of conditions has made them one of the most destructive sides of the season. Gujarat, meanwhile, have relied on a more measured blueprint. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have mastered the art of constructing innings before accelerating, a strategy that has produced over 1,400 runs between them. Alongside Jos Buttler, the trio has carried much of the batting responsibility and will once again be expected to provide the platform. If Bengaluru possess the stronger batting card, Gujarat can counter with arguably the tournament's most formidable pace attack. Purple Cap leader Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj have formed a potent new-ball partnership, while Rashid Khan, Prasidh Krishna, and Jason Holder provide depth and variety. Much could depend on Siraj's fitness after the fast bowler appeared to struggle with a shoulder issue during Qualifier 2. RCB's bowling resources, however, are equally capable of deciding the contest. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has enjoyed a stellar campaign with 26 wickets, while Josh Hazlewood, Rasikh Salam, and Krunal Pandya have consistently delivered breakthroughs at crucial moments. The numbers suggest a closely fought battle. RCB hold a narrow 5-4 advantage in the overall head-to-head record and have won two of the three meetings between the sides this season. Yet Gujarat have turned Ahmedabad into a fortress, winning five of their seven home matches during the campaign. Momentum favours Bengaluru. Conditions favour Gujarat. The trophy will belong to whichever side imposes its identity more effectively on the biggest night of the season. By Sunday night, either Patidar's defending champions will cement their status as the league's newest powerhouse, or Gill's Titans will complete a homecoming worthy of champions. Either way, IPL 2026 is set for a fitting finale.

From Early Struggles To Final Berth: GTs Journey To The IPL 2026 Title Clash
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Titans will enter the IPL 2026 final with momentum firmly behind them after overcoming setbacks, pressure situations, and a disappointing defeat in Qualifier 1 to secure their place in the title clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Led by Shubman Gill, the Titans produced one of the most consistent campaigns of the season, finishing among the top two teams in the league stage with 18 points in 14 matches, before sealing a return to the final with a commanding victory over Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2. GT's campaign did not begin as planned. They suffered back-to-back defeats against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, leaving them searching for momentum in the opening weeks of the tournament. That turnaround arrived in dramatic fashion in Delhi, where Gujarat edged Delhi Capitals by a single run to register their first win of the season. The narrow victory proved to be a turning point as the Titans quickly found their rhythm. Successive wins over Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders helped GT climb the table and establish themselves as genuine contenders. Although Mumbai Indians handed them a heavy defeat at home and Royal Challengers Bengaluru followed with another loss in Bengaluru, Gujarat responded strongly once again. The Titans bounced back with an emphatic victory over Chennai Super Kings before gaining revenge against RCB in Ahmedabad. Those results marked the beginning of their most dominant stretch of the season. Gill's side then put together a series of commanding performances. They defeated Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad in consecutive matches, with both the batting and bowling units making significant contributions. The victories not only secured crucial points but also strengthened their net run rate and playoff position. A defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders briefly interrupted their progress, but Gujarat finished the league stage in style. They crushed Chennai Super Kings by 89 runs in Ahmedabad, a result that confirmed their place among the leading teams heading into the playoffs. The Titans' first playoff outing proved disappointing as they were comprehensively beaten by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Qualifier 1. Chasing a daunting target of 254 runs, GT were unable to recover after losing early wickets and suffered a 92-run defeat. However, one of the defining features of Gujarat's campaign has been their ability to recover quickly from setbacks. They demonstrated that quality again in Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals. Facing a must-win contest, the Titans produced a composed all-round display to secure a seven-wicket victory and book their place in the final. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are again the torchbearers for the batting unit as they have both scored 700-plus runs and are among the top scorers in the IPL 2026. Facing a must-win contest, the Titans produced a composed all-round display to secure a seven-wicket victory and book their place in the final.

From Strong Start To Final Showdown: RCBs Road To IPL 2026 Title Clash
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take inspiration from their amazing journey in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 league stage and the Qualifier 1 when they take on 2022 winners Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. After lifting their maiden IPL trophy last year, RCB are set to face the challenge of defending the crown for the first time in franchise history. The Rajat Patidar-led side responded in impressive fashion, finishing at the top of the points table with nine wins from 14 league matches before sealing a place in the final with a convincing victory over the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. RCB made an immediate statement at the start of the season. They opened their campaign with a successful chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad before registering a comfortable win over Chennai Super Kings in Bengaluru. Their first defeat came against Rajasthan Royals, who chased down a 200-plus target in Guwahati. However, RCB quickly returned to winning ways with victories over Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. A narrow defeat against Delhi Capitals at home briefly halted their progress, but RCB answered with a strong run of performances. They defeated the Gujarat Titans in Bengaluru and then produced one of their most dominant displays of the season against the Delhi Capitals, bowling them out for just 75 before completing the chase in rapid fashion. The middle phase of the season brought another challenge. Consecutive losses against Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants left RCB needing a strong finish to secure a playoff berth. Rather than faltering, the defending champions responded with three successive victories. They edged past Mumbai Indians in a thrilling contest, defeated Kolkata Knight Riders to confirm their playoff qualification, and followed it up with a win over Punjab Kings. Although Sunrisers Hyderabad handed them a heavy defeat of 55 runs in their final league game, RCB still finished at the top of the standings thanks to a superior net run rate Their best performance arrived at the perfect time in Qualifier 1. Facing the Gujarat Titans, captain Rajat Patidar led from the front with a breathtaking 93 off 33 deliveries as RCB posted a massive total of 254 runs. The bowlers then backed up the effort by dismissing Gujarat for 162, securing a 92-run victory and direct entry into the final. RCB's winning momentum is a result of collective performance from both batters and bowlers. Former captain Virat Kohli again topped the list of most runs for the franchise with 600 runs in 15 matches. While Skipper Patidar has also accumulated 486 runs in 14 matches. Their best performance arrived at the perfect time in Qualifier 1. Facing the Gujarat Titans, captain Rajat Patidar led from the front with a breathtaking 93 off 33 deliveries as RCB posted a massive total of 254 runs.

Chennai Super Kings: Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara has publicly expressed his frustration over England all-rounder Sam Currans absence from the IPL 2026 season, raising concerns about player availability and contractual commitments after the franchises campaign came to an end in Qualifier 2 against the Gujarat Titans. The Royals suffered a seven-wicket defeat on Friday, bringing the curtain down on a season that Sangakkara said was repeatedly disrupted by personnel setbacks. Among those issues, the former Sri Lanka captain singled out Currans withdrawal from the tournament despite the England all-rounder subsequently appearing in domestic cricket back home. Speaking after the playoff loss, Sangakkara questioned the circumstances surrounding Currans absence. We were told that Sam Curran had a season-ending injury, but I think I saw him playing for Surrey for two or three games now, so that was disappointing. Wed have loved to have had him here playing for us, but we got Dasun Shanaka as a replacement after we were informed early, Sangakkara told reporters. Curran had arrived at Rajasthan through a high-profile trade with the Chennai Super Kings before the season. The Royals secured both Curran and Ravindra Jadeja in exchange for Sanju Samson, investing Rs 2.4 crore in the English all-rounder. However, before the tournament began, Curran informed the franchise that he would be unavailable because of what was described as a season-ending injury. Rajasthan later brought in Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka as a replacement. The Royals coach also underlined the need for stricter enforcement of regulations governing player withdrawals from the league. A proper, tight policy around that is always a requirement. The BCCI has a strict policy on that. Every player goes through injuries, and if its a serious injury, a season-ending injury, of course we understand, he said. Curran has since featured in three matches for Surrey in the ongoing T20 Blast. While the 27-year-old has not bowled since Englands T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to India in March, he has contributed significantly with the bat, scoring 141 runs in the competition. Sangakkara contrasted Currans absence with the commitment shown by several other overseas players in the Rajasthan setup, many of whom remained with the squad despite limited on-field opportunities. Curran has since featured in three matches for Surrey in the ongoing T20 Blast. While the 27-year-old has not bowled since Englands T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to India in March, he has contributed significantly with the bat, scoring 141 runs in the competition.
