The IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026 ends with Royal Challengers Bengaluru scripting history and clinching their second straight IPL title. The side took on Gujarat Titans in the summit clash of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31st.
2009, 2011, 2016 – RCB’s years of agony. Three times the team from Bengaluru qualified for the final and on each occasion, the night ended in misery. Yet, they kept fighting, but nothing worked. With frustration and a hope for a better future, Virat Kohli eventually relinquished captaincy in the 2021 season. That move didn’t work either. In 2025, things finally changed. RCB appointed Rajat Patidar as captain and, most importantly, focused on an all-round squad, rather than a top-heavy one.

Under the able leadership of Rajat Patidar, Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the IPL in 2025 and have once again qualified for the summit clash in the 2026 season. Despite so, Patidar’s name is not among the reckoning for India’s T20I side. He has led the team by example, but for the number four role, Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer are ahead in the pecking order.
