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.

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.

I will try my best to replicate hitting those five sixes from the first season. I can't say whether I will definitely do it, but I will certainly try my best to repeat it, said Shivam Dube, Captain, Arcs Andheri. The talent sitting here on the podium is exceptional. Mumbai is known for producing great batters over the years. I feel every batter is going to come out hard. We know what's at stake. It's going to be a fierce battle, and we're hoping for the best, said Shardul Thakur, Captain, Eagle Thane Strikers. Obviously, winning the trophy last year was a special moment for all of us. We want to do it again, but we're not focusing too much on the result. I will just try to help my teammates and the youngsters perform to their potential. It's going to be a competitive league. We have to start from zero this year, Siddhesh Lad, Captain, Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals, added. I am a bit more aggressive, while Musheer is calmer. But when it comes to the field, no one is your brother or friend; he will be a rival, Sarfaraz Khan, Captain, Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs said. I am grateful to the team management and owners for giving me the opportunity to captain the side this season. I hope to repay their faith in me.

It is very, very important that we also treat our women and girls in the same way we treat our male players. There are many clubs now that have women's teams, but there is a lack of a platform.' That was the first assignment they assigned to me, and I said, 'Fine, I'll take this challenge.' I took the challenge, and I think things went well. We opened the bid and received almost six requests for the bid, and out of that, we finalised three of them. With that, three teams got finalised and are now part of the T20 league. But I think the idea was to create an opportunity for our girls also, because the Mumbai Cricket Association always believes that girls also have a lot of things to do in cricket as compared to the males. Like, why only boys have all the fun? I think that's what the whole idea is, he said in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Saturday. Gupta explicitly positions the womens league as a feeder system for the players to get into the Women's Premier League (WPL) and possibly the Indian team. It is very, very important. There are many women in Mumbai who are participating in club cricket, and the Mumbai Cricket Association has multiple tournaments for girls. So, in that way, we needed to create a visibility (platform) for our women cricketers who can play in WPL and for India. Like, there is a proper platform which needs to be assigned to them so that they can actually show their talent in front of scouting teams of WPL or maybe of the Indian team, he said. He pointed to Jemimah Rodrigues playing a crucial role in the 2025 Womens ODI World Cup win as the most powerful argument. We know that there are 3-4 players who already played for India, and Jemi is one of the classic examples. Like, she was the main girl, and because of her, we won the World Cup. Post Jemi's innings, there are lots of changes we have seen in women's cricket. Like, now women also believe that they can actually take cricket as a serious game because I know now parents have also started believing that there is a future and career in this. To just support their parents' vision and the cricketers' vision, we needed to have this league, which is very important for us. Today, we are here, and we are already having the league going on, he said. Apart from creating playing opportunities, participating in the league also gives some financial stability to both mens and womens players, feels Gupta. I think the Mumbai Cricket Association has a better ecosystem if you talk about club cricket and different tournaments. Also, it is very important to create stability in financial terms. Like what we did this year when we were talking about the auction, we had a one crore purse for the male cricketers. But at the same time, we decided that the women's purse will be 50 lakh rupees, so that at least there is a financial touch to the whole ecosystem. I think we also kept the winning price around Rs 50 lakh. The idea is very simple - to create an ecosystem where people can have financial stability after being a part of it. But more or less, if I say, the entire idea of the women's league is to create gender equality and have a platform where we have to treat our girls and boys in the same way, and that is the whole idea behind this league, he said. On the men's side, the league's main pull still remains the prospect of sharing the dressing room with India and IPL veterans. If you see the number of icon players we have today, almost all of them played for India, and many of them played in the IPL. The biggest advantage these players are going to get is directly sharing the dressing room and getting more experience by being with those players. People coming from club cricket and directly sharing the dressing room with Surya, Ajinkya, or Shreyas - it's the biggest learning for them. I want to tell all my club cricketers in Mumbai who are looking to be part of the IPL, India, or Mumbai team, I can just tell one thing - 'Chance SoduNako' (Don't miss the chance), added Gupta. Once the IPL is over, almost all state T20 leagues begin their initiative to attract fans' attention. Gupta said in terms of pulling fans towards both mens and womens leagues, railway stations across Mumbai, Thane, Vasai, and Virar are donning the hoardings and have even signed up around 100-150 content creators for an influencer-only league to boost their social media visibility.
