IPL 2026 FINAL GT vs RCB Today Match Live: The stage is set for the IPL final as defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru prepare to face 2022 winners Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 31, 2026.

After lifting their maiden IPL trophy last year, RCB faces the challenge of defending the crown for the first time in franchise history. The Rajat Patidar-led side finished 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.

On the other hand, led by Shubman Gill, the Titans produced one of the greatest comeback 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.


Both sides last met in Qualifier 1 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, where the 2025 champions won by a massive margin of 92 runs. They would look to continue the momentum and win their second title, while GT are seeking revenge at their home ground.

The reigning champions enter the final as overwhelming favorites against the 2022 winners, thanks to the fearless, high‑risk style they have displayed throughout the tournament. That approach has occasionally backfired, but Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Tim David, skipper Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt (when available), and Venkatesh Iyer have consistently punished opponents with relentless, single‑gear batting.

RCB’s batting depth and abundance of range‑hitters give them a clear edge, but Gujarat Titans’ bowling attack has the tools to rein in RCB’s firepower, especially if the Ahmedabad pitch offers grip. Kagiso Rabada, the current Purple Cap leader with 28 wickets, has found strong support from Mohammad Siraj, Rashid Khan, Jason Holder, and Prasidh Krishna.

Rabada and Siraj have formed a formidable partnership this season, delivering a chart‑topping 165 and 162 dot balls respectively, underscoring their control over batters even on placid tracks. By hitting the hard length consistently, the duo has denied RCB’s feared six‑hitters the room they need to unleash their full swing.
