Final preview of IPL 2026: RCB vs GT
RCB enter the final having defeated GT twice in the three matches the two teams have played this year, including a good performance in Qualifier 1 where they scored 254 with the bat and bowled out GT for just 162.
Even though GT slipped in Qualifier 1, they put on a show in Qualifier 2, beating fan favorites Rajasthan Royals thanks to a 47-ball century from captain Shubman Gill, and a century from his partner-in-crime, Sai Sudharsan. Both players have now passed 700 runs this season and will undoubtedly be key if GT are to win at home.
Speaking of which, this game is at GT’s house, where they were able to win five out of seven games here thanks to the speed they were getting. Earlier reports suggest that the IPL 2026 final will be played on Pitch No. 6, which is exactly the same as when they beat RCB in Ahmedabad earlier this season.
The trio of Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna will also hope to use any help on the field to make the most of it. However, GT will also want its Prime Minister Rashid Khan to come to the party. He also slipped in the qualifying competition and was beaten for 45 runs in just two overs.
On the RCB side, the batting unit looks much taller than GT’s, with contributions from everyone, starting with Virat Kohli and Venkatesh Iyer at the top, down to the likes of Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, and Tim David.
And if it’s a fast bowling pitch, RCB doesn’t mind that, as they have world-class fast bowlers in Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, along with third-seamer Rasikh Salam Dar, who has been excellent this season as well.
