The excitement for Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) has reached its peak as defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) prepare to face Gujarat Titans (GT) in the grand final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 31, 2026.

Both teams had an impressive league stage and finished with 18 points. However, RCB secured a direct place in the final after a dominant 92-run win over GT in Qualifier 1 at Dharamshala. 

On the other hand, Led by Shubman Gill, Gujarat Titans bounced back strongly after that defeat. Despite being written off by many earlier in the season, they defeated Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 and earned a spot in this high-pressure rematch on their home ground.

Moreover, the winner of this final will claim their second IPL title. As a result, they will join Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Chennai Super Kings as teams with multiple IPL trophies.
