- RCB secured a five‑wicket win over Gujarat Titans in the IPL final in Ahmedabad, chasing 155‑8 in 18 overs with 12 balls to spare.
- Kohli scored an unbeaten 75 off 42 balls, including three sixes, and sealed the victory with a six for the winning runs.
- Dar led RCB’s bowling with figures of 3‑27, while Hazlewood and Kumar each took two wickets in the Titans’ innings.
- RCB captured its second consecutive IPL title, following its first championship in 2025, and Kohli recorded his fifth half‑century of the season and his fastest IPL fifty.
Why it matters: RCB and its sponsors gain heightened brand exposure and fan loyalty after clinching a second straight IPL title, while rival franchises miss out on the championship‑related revenue and media spotlight.
