IPL 2026: Someone Stepped Up When Needed,' Says Hazlewood After Back-to-back Titles
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Josh Hazlewood believes Royal Challengers Bengaluru's successful IPL title defence was built on composure, squad depth and a team-first culture, as the Australian fast bowler celebrated his third IPL victory following RCB's win over Gujarat Titans in the 2026 final. Having helped Bengaluru become only the third franchise in league history to retain the title, Hazlewood said this year's triumph felt different from the breakthrough success of 2025. Thats right up there. I think obviously a little bit more relaxed within the group this year. We sort of got the monkey off the back last year in terms of a long wait for that first win, the pacer said after the win. According to the Australian quick, the defending champions never appeared rattled throughout the campaign and consistently found match-winners in crucial moments. But I think the group just felt calm and composed throughout the whole tournament, really. Someone stepped up when they needed to be. I think we had, again, like 10 Man of the Match awards. So amazing depth in the squad. Anyone who came in did a great job and the bowling group is pretty special, he added. Hazlewood reserved special praise for fellow pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, whose consistency with the new ball helped shape RCB's title-winning season. The veteran Indian seamer finished as the tournament's second-highest wicket-taker with 28 scalps. I cant remember a game where he went for over 35 runs. In this day and age, its unbelievable. Hazlewood said Bhuvneshwar's ability to strike early regularly eased the burden on the rest of the attack. He got wickets up front in nearly every game we played and just took the heat off, I think, the rest of us. We could relax and, you know, we were bowling at numbers four and five in the powerplay. So its pretty nice, the Aussie quick said. The 35-year-old also highlighted the role of the franchise's management and support staff in building a winning environment. Yeah, I think the franchise has been put together beautifully. You know, not just the players, but I think the support staff as well. Again, its a nice, relaxed atmosphere to play your best, to try and play your best cricket in and perform, the pace ace stated. For Hazlewood, the strongest quality within the squad is the bond shared by the group. Yeah, I think the franchise has been put together beautifully. You know, not just the players, but I think the support staff as well. Again, its a nice, relaxed atmosphere to play your best, to try and play your best cricket in and perform, the pace ace stated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score And when asked whether RCB can chase a third consecutive title in 2027, a feat that no team has ever achieved in the tournaments history, Hazlewood's answer was brief and confident.

IPL 2026: Patidar Praises RCB's Faith After Back-to-back IPL Titles As Kohli Leads Ahmedabad Victory
Ee Sala Cup Namdu: Rajat Patidar struggled to find the right words after he led Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their second consecutive IPL title on Sunday. He said the achievement felt surreal and was something he had never imagined when he joined the franchise. It feels superb. When we came here, there were many memories from last year. I dont have words to express how I feel, but its very good, Patidar said after RCB secured a solid five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The RCB captain praised the team's careful planning and the consistency of the bowling attack throughout the season. It was clear planning. When we win the toss, it was easy to chase. The way Bhuvi, Hazlewood, Rasikh, KP Suyash, and Shepherd bowled was impressive throughout the tournament, he said. Patidars team delivered another strong performance to defend their title, becoming only the third team, alongside Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, to successfully retain the IPL trophy. Chasing 156 runs, RCB relied on Virat Kohli's unbeaten 75 off 42 balls, marking his fastest IPL fifty, as the defending champions confidently pursued the target. The victory held special meaning for Patidar, who reflected on his unexpected rise to captaincy. I never dreamed of becoming the captain of RCB and lifting the trophy. I think it was meant to be. I am grateful for that, he said. RCB started the season with the confidence gained from their first title in 2025, and Patidar believed that experience made a difference. We were slightly more confident than last year. Everywhere felt like a home ground for us with the fans supporting us, he said, acknowledging the traveling support for the franchise across various venues. Patidar also shared how his preparation before the tournament played a crucial role in his success. The pre-tournament prep was very good for me. I focused on discovering which shots work for me. I received a lot of useful input from DK, he said, crediting mentor Dinesh Karthik for his guidance throughout the campaign. While Kohli once again shone on the big stage, Patidar highlighted the veteran's contribution beyond just runs. He (Virat Kohli) is always there for the team, he said. Earlier, Gujarat Titans were limited to 155/8 despite Washington Sundar's fighting half-century. RCB's bowlers, led by Rasikh Salam Dar's three wickets and disciplined performances from Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, kept the Titans from gaining momentum. While Kohli once again shone on the big stage, Patidar highlighted the veteran's contribution beyond just runs. He (Virat Kohli) is always there for the team, he said.

IPL 2026: Seamers Brilliance, Kohlis Unbeaten 75 Helps RCB Defend Their Title (2nd Ld)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Riding on Virat Kohlis unbeaten 75 and a disciplined display from their seamers, Royal Challengers Bengaluru defended their IPL crown with a fivewicket win over Gujarat Titans in the 2026 final at a packed Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Washington Sundars fighting unbeaten 37-ball fifty took GT to 155/8, though Rasikh Salam Dars 3-27 and early strikes from Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar kept them in check on a mixed soil pitch. In reply, Kohli registered his fastest halfcentury in the league off 25 balls and anchored the chase of 156 with trademark authority by remaining unbeaten on 75 off 42 balls laced with nine fours and three sixes, also his highest score in the IPL playoffs. It also continued a remarkable streak - RCB have not lost a game since 2025 whenever Kohli has scored a fifty, as he ensured the side joined Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings as the only teams to successfully defend their IPL title, while extending the streak of Qualifier 1 winners lifting the trophy to nine seasons. The win completed with two overs to spare also means Josh Hazlewood remains unbeaten in white-ball finals while Krunal Pandya has emerged victorious in every IPL final he's played in. GT, champions in 2022 at the same venue, were undone by disciplined RCB bowling and the scheduling grind of playing their third game at a third venue in six days, having reached Ahmedabad only on Saturday night due to inclement weather. Kohlis landmark knock then turned the final into a onesided affair, thus reaffirming his reputation as the man for the big occasion. With this clinical triumph in Ahmedabad, RCB have not only defended their crown but also cemented their place among the leagues most successful franchises, apart from having the rare honour of holding both WPL and IPL titles at the same time. RCBs chase began with Kohli and Venkatesh Iyer tearing into GTs newball attack. Kohli unfurled a flurry of wristy flicks (one of which went for a jaw-dropping six) and pulls against Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj, and race to 28 off just 10 balls in just four overs, while Iyer smashed 32 off 16 deliveries despite battling a right knee niggle. The pair brought up RCBs fifty inside 21 balls - the fastest in an IPL final - and ensured the asking rate was never a concern from the get go. Iyer eventually lobbed a pull to mid-on off Siraj and Rabada, who had conceded 37 in his first two overs, eventually dismissed Devdutt Padikkal cheaply when he sliced to third man. By then, the damage had already been done by RCB. Rajat Patidar joined Kohli and kept the tempo high by pulling Siraj for six, before swivelling off Jason Holder for four. Kohli, meanwhile, continued to keep going despite GT trying some mind games through Sai Sudharsans chatter. But GT struck right after first time-out when Patidar holed out to long-on off Rashid Khan, who trapped Krunal Pandya plumb lbw in the same over. With Tim David joining the boundary hitting act, Kohli got his fifty in 25 balls after pulling Arshad Khan though short mid-wicket for a boundary, despite struggling with cramps in his right leg. Though David gave a feather edge behind off Arshad Khan after GT got the decision in their favour via review, Kohli and Jitesh Sharma hit exquisite fours to take RCB closer. Kohli then survived a caught out decision on 63 as replays showed the ball touched the ground while Gill was trying to take the diving catch at mid-on. Fittingly, Kohli finished off the chase by pulling Arshad in the gap between mid-on and mid-wicket before smacking him over long-on for six to spark jubilant celebrations in the RCB camp and their loyal fans after clinching the IPL title once again. Previously, amidst the collapse triggered by RCBs seamers executing their plans with precision, Sundar stood tall for GT. He survived an early scare when a catch taken by Jordan Cox was ruled grounded, and went on to anchor the innings with a composed fifty. After being pushed into batting first by RCB, GT endured a shaky start as Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar exploited bounce and movement off the pitch. Gill was dismissed for 10 - slicing a shortarm pull to Patidar, while Sudharsan followed soon after topedging a bouncer to Jitesh for 12. Nishant Sindhu and Jos Buttler tried to steady the innings, but with no coming boundary after the powerplay, the former holed out to longon for 20. Buttler, frustrated by dot balls, advanced to attack off Krunal but was undone by a wide yorker and sharp stumping from Jitesh.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli believes Royal Challengers Bengaluru's successful IPL title defence was built on conviction rather than pressure, with the defending champions trusting their strengths throughout a campaign that ended with a commanding victory over Gujarat Titans in the final. After guiding the chase with an unbeaten 75, Kohli explained that the atmosphere within the dressing room was markedly different from last season, when RCB ended their long wait for a maiden IPL trophy. Well, I said to a few of the boys that it doesnt feel like the same pressure as last year. We knew what kind of ability we have in the group. We topped the table. Theres a reason why we got here first, Kohli said after RCB clinched a second consecutive title. The former RCB captain said the team never lost sight of the formula that had made them the competition's most consistent side during the league stage. And we just said one thing: if we stick to our cricket, if we execute our plans, we are the best team in the comp. And theres a reason why we have done well so far in the group stage. We ended up topping the league stage. That confidence was reflected in the final as Bengaluru produced a clinical all-round display to become only the third franchise in IPL history to defend its title. And yeah, its just the skill sets we have, the maturity, the composure of the guys just shone through again tonight and it was a clinical performance, the veteran batter said. However, Kohli admitted there was a period after the mid-season break when RCB's path to the final was not entirely straightforward. A defeat followed by a nervy win over Mumbai Indians briefly tested the team's momentum. To be fair, after the break, we had a couple of losses. I mean, one loss and then we had a close win against MI. Id say that week for us was a bit tricky because we wanted to finish top, he stated. According to Kohli, the narrow victory against Mumbai became a turning point in the campaign as he said, But as soon as we got that win against MI, the belief kicked back in. Then we had a comprehensive win against KKR and then, yeah, just ended up topping the table and just on our way to the finals. Kohli reserved his greatest praise for the squad's depth, highlighting how match-winners emerged throughout the season, removing the burden from any one individual. Its amazing. Weve had to wait for so long. And then, you know, just to have a group of guys where you feel like youre stepping onto the ground, you dont need to be the one to step up every time. Theres guys behind you, around you, who can win games of cricket for you, the former India captain noted. He pointed to the contributions of both the bowling attack and the batting unit, singling out several players who played crucial roles during the title run. We have so many Man of the Match awards cranked throughout the group as well. I mean, you look at world-class bowling like Hoff, Bhuvi, Duffy. I mean, Krunal Pandya, you know, you can bank on him, as good as ever. Rasikh Dar was brilliant this season. All the batsmen chipped in as well, Kohli mentioned. He pointed to the contributions of both the bowling attack and the batting unit, singling out several players who played crucial roles during the title run.
