The Royal Challengers Bengaluru are breathing fire at the moment in Ahmedabad as they dismissed the dangerous duo of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharshan in IPL 2026 Final. The Gujarat Titans were able to get some boundaries and generate some momentum but they weren’t able to carry it forward. Josh Hazlewood was introduced into the attack and Gill threw the counter punch with a boundary in the first ball. But the tall Aussie adjusted his length by a tiny bit and that was good enough for Gill to mistime the ball straight into the hands of Rajat Patidar. Following the wicket of the skipper, Bhuvneshwar Kumar got the better of Sai Sudharshan as well.

The Gujarat Titans would have hoped to get off to a solid start with the help of Sai Sudharshan and Shubman Gill, but the partnership lasted just 22 runs. From the big three of the Titans top order, RCB have got two of their highest scoring batters and Jos Buttler will be the main wicket that the defending champions would be hunting. They still do have a decent amount of batting to come down the order but a couple more wickets could push the Titans out of the game as it stands.

Fans on X hail RCB’s brilliant powerplay bowling against GT

The viewers on X have been cheering on RCB as they have got both of the big fishes and they seem to be riding on the momentum from the previous game. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood have disrupted the batting flow but they will be in search of a couple more wickets. Here are some of the reactions on X:

The Gujarat Titans have steadied the ship after the loss of two big wickets but this scoring rate could take them nowhere. Jos Buttler and Nishant Sindhu will have to step up their game if they are to reach a competitive total.
