00:04We are at the largest cricket stadium in the world.
00:10It's the gigantic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
00:14And it will be the host to the final of the biggest league in the world.
00:19It is the final of IPL 2026, where the defending champions,
00:24Royal Challengers Bengaluru, will take on the...
00:28You won the toss, what have you decided?
00:31We'll bowl first.
00:32What do you make of this surface?
00:34It's pretty good. It's pretty good.
00:36Interesting room.
00:37It's a lot of memories of last year, but I think it was in...
00:42It's important to be more about, you know, keeping yourself in the present.
00:46Not thinking too much about the way they came,
00:49and especially the RCB supporters, 12th Man Army.
00:52They came in every stadium and support us.
00:54It was honestly, you know, looks like a good wicket.
00:57And final game, so hopefully I have some runs on the board and put them under pressure.
01:00You know this surface very well.
01:02What do you make of this surface?
01:04It's a great stage, isn't it?
01:06Yeah, definitely.
01:07You know, one of the biggest stadiums in the world,
01:09if not the biggest in place of Sai.
01:12Have a great day, Shubhan.
01:13Well, there you go. Breaking news.
01:16Primetime pitch side, Narendra Modi.
01:19To field first.
01:20Both of them pretty happy, sir.
01:21Anir Bhai, Shubhan said he would have batted first.
01:24We'll get to the changes.
01:26But just, who is it in favor of?
01:28Look at the surfers, look at ensuring that the fast bowlers, you can keep them at bay.
01:34Only, you know, RCB, that's the RCB playing 11.
01:37No changes there, which is pretty obvious.
01:39They're coming on the back of a fantastic victory against the GP.
01:44No Suez Sharma there in the playing 11, as far as the RCB team goes.
01:49So, they've gotten a shepherd.
01:51Because our titans will rely on Joss Butler to turn up tonight.
01:55But just one change for them.
01:57Yes, just that one change where Arshad has come in.
02:01It's an RCB.
02:02It's different ways to skin a cat.
02:04But both have been extremely successful.
02:06So, I decided to ask on Google, search his new AI mode and precise field piercings.
02:11How will GT's new ball bowlers alter their lens to counter RCB's aggressive intent?
02:17Particular format, not to let that aspect of batting go unnoticed.
02:23And giving equal importance to that as well, has given them the returns.
02:28And just about ahead.
02:3152-48, very close to Anil Kumle's prediction.
02:3550-50, nothing.
02:45For two months, 73 games and billions watching around the world,
02:50this Tata IPO has been a journey of skill, nerve and dreams.
02:56And now it all comes down to this.
02:59One night, one contest, a few fleeting moments that will turn cricketers into immortals.
03:05On one side, the defending champions.
03:09Ryrie red of RCB, the calming blue of GT.
03:14They choose different paths, but the destination is the same.
03:17And we are back in Amdavad for the final of IPL 2026.
03:2310 teams, 13 venues, 74 games.
03:26And now, a chance to win it a second time for both teams.
03:30Inscribed on that trophy are the lovely words,
03:34Yatra Pratiba Avasarapraap Notihi.
03:36Where talent meets opportunity.
03:39Lifting it is a high point in a player's career.
03:44Who lives in our impeach.
03:46Evening, Harsha.
03:47Evening, everyone.
03:48Let's have a look at the Gujarat Titans lineup.
03:50There's so much talk about this top three.
03:52Gil, Sudarshan and Butler.
03:53This middle order is where you constantly think.
03:58It's a well-oiled machine.
04:00Balance their strength.
04:01They bat deep.
04:02And there are lots of attacking options in the bowling department.
04:05Technically, one change as Wienke Ayer is on the bench.
04:09Romario Sheppard is in.
04:10But we will probably...
04:11Some contests.
04:12Hopefully, the pitch will make it equally good for both of them.
04:16Out they come.
04:20Some people have been here before.
04:23They know what it is.
04:24They've been in big finals.
04:25Like the two gentlemen sitting there.
04:27Janaganamana adhinayaka jaya he.
04:31Dharak bhagya vidhata.
04:36Punjab sindhu Gujarat maratha.
04:42Pravidhukkalavanga.
04:47Nithin Menon goes around the world.
04:49He's a highly rated umpire.
04:50Keanananth Padmanabhan.
04:52Such an accomplished leg spinner for Kerala all those years ago.
04:58Third umpire today is J.R. Madanagopal.
05:05Conventional opening pair.
05:06But they've done incredibly well.
05:07And everyone's talking about J.T.'s weakness being their batting.
05:11But the only reason for that is because they've got an incredibly strong top three.
05:14So it's not really a weakness.
05:17Chukumar be so effective in the first over.
05:21But you can also understand the extra...
05:25...for Duffy as a backup to Hazelwood.
05:27Now he's got a new ball ahead of him.
05:29Here's the countdown.
05:33Good first ball.
05:34Just a little bit of swing.
05:37Yeah, it's a hint of swing there.
05:38And I like the fuller length to Saasud.
05:42But you see that again.
05:43A little bit of swing.
05:44He's got to be careful.
05:45The length is good.
05:49It's still ideal to find...
05:53Place find.
05:54That's the first boundary.
05:56The first of many you'd imagine on this surface.
05:58And the Gujarat Titans are up and running.
06:04Now through the offside.
06:06We are talking about whether the length was too full.
06:11And he'll be breathing a lot better.
06:13Sae Sudarshan.
06:14To his bath.
06:17Now there was a little sound as it passed.
06:19The finger's gone up.
06:20Is this an early wicket already?
06:21He has reviewed immediately.
06:32It's a flat line of the ball.
06:34Passes the bat.
06:38That'll be wide.
06:39Now what's interesting is when he was playing the test matches.
06:42They'd set a trap for him.
06:43He was out too...
06:47He's taking the first run quickly.
06:49That's all there will be.
06:54Wide again.
06:55He looks so calm.
06:56The only time I've seen him lose shape
06:58was when they were chasing 250 in the first qualifier.
07:028.
07:05This has the ball on a string.
07:07Astonishing longevity.
07:08And have a look at the numbers at the bottom.
07:11Oh, beauty.
07:12And this one goes the other way.
07:15He's scarcely bowled a bad ball this season.
07:18Just subtle changes.
07:22Brilliant.
07:23There's Klaas on both sides.
07:25From the hand that delivers and the bat that strikes.
07:30And then sometimes Klaas replies.
07:35Twice.
07:37He's got the purple cap.
07:39And you fought in those glory years of 2016.
07:44Well.
07:48Down again.
07:50Yeah, I don't mind that game plan actually.
07:51It takes that swing from Bovee.
07:53Bovee's big skill is...
08:01And it's Gill who's down the wicket.
08:09Straight up.
08:10Straight up.
08:11Straight up.
08:12Catch taken.
08:14Colossal moment in this game.
08:18It is Shubman Gill who owns a little patch of turf here.
08:22At the Narendra Moody's test.
08:24Not on anybody's bingo card.
08:26I wouldn't have expected.
08:27Just the 134 strike rate.
08:2940.
08:31Oh, well.
08:32Another one that came big on him.
08:35All the more reason.
08:36Hazelwood.
08:51Should be looking at two here.
08:55Why did they look for three then?
08:58Is that a defensive move though?
09:03That cosmetic, is that real?
09:19Oh, straight up.
09:20Keeper is running for it.
09:22It's a little distant but he'll get there.
09:24What a start for RCB.
09:28The defending champions.
09:30Wow.
09:32Have they sewn up this game?
09:35It's...
09:37And he played fine.
09:39Fine enough.
09:45Time to rebuild here for the Gujarat Titans.
09:48They've been dropped early.
09:51That was in the air but hit hard.
09:57But that's gone through.
10:00So, Graham missed field.
10:02He's only so-called Kouraneshwar Kumar.
10:15So, the Google AI has searched the question.
10:22He's got better and better.
10:24Now, Rasik as the tournament has gone on.
10:25Grown in confidence as he's started.
10:30Misses out there.
10:32Misses out there.
10:33Full-tong.
10:33Directed bouncer.
10:37Nicely helped on its way.
10:39We'll be disappointed with that delivery.
10:41It was a good over till then.
10:54Just a single.
10:59Pressure.
11:01As you know, I reckon anywhere close to 200.
11:05From here, they get a good for this big game.
11:35You heard the call by the captain.
11:38Clearly, didn't you?
11:39Words you're saying that I've won the toss.
11:44Get to the score and it was the man of the match.
11:49There's some similarities there.
11:57Swings.
11:58Taken in the deep.
12:00Straight down the throat of Longhorn.
12:04Divda Padikal is never going to miss that.
12:08And looking to up the end, Anteer Sindhu.
12:11Divda.
12:13Got such an outstanding record.
12:15He's played four finals.
12:16He's won all four.
12:18Back.
12:19Bowler transformed.
12:21I think it's a confident side.
12:23The fact they won last year, I think.
12:28He wins it today.
12:30He joins his brother, Hardik, with five trophies.
12:33Karan Polk.
12:38It's another tidy over.
12:42So, that's the end of the Seattle strategic timeout.
12:4859 for three already.
12:52Talking of legends, here's another.
12:54Maybe except that one.
13:00Dinesh Karthik joins us.
13:04There's a sense of calmness, actually, when we have those bowling meetings.
13:08And that's so important.
13:08And I'm talking about Hoff here, because he's a big influence on the bowling group.
13:12Bhuvi, who's won a few titles.
13:13Virat Kohli.
13:17There's fielders everywhere.
13:19There's fielders everywhere.
13:20Don't say that, Asha.
13:21And how small a target can we keep ourselves?
13:24I mean, to chase, basically.
13:26I'm genuinely not able to put the Grizzlies Titans hat to think, what is a good score?
13:29That's what we've constantly spoken about.
13:31And that's made a big difference.
13:33There's another.
13:35There's another.
13:36It's wonderfully taken.
13:37Now, Duffy joins the wickets.
13:43Here, keep it rolling, please.
13:51The fingers were beside, not beneath.
13:55That is what you need to look at.
13:56On first glance, you want...
13:58He looked like he thought he had taken it clean.
14:01A lot of us, all of us here thought it was taken clean.
14:05The fingers were not to stump at the moment.
14:08He's varying his pace.
14:09You can see the odd ball gripping as well.
14:11He's stopping.
14:24Washington, lucky to be around.
14:26Right, in the last ball of the previous show, we saw the first sign of aggression from Butler.
14:33Happens, doesn't it?
14:34When you're losing wickets, the run rate is like that.
14:36You find the fielders.
14:41It's been a long time since the last boundary.
14:4534.
14:46Kronelpandia.
14:47Oh, gone.
14:48Gone.
14:49He is so canny.
14:50He is so tricky.
14:53Very, very simple.
14:55From a man for all occasions and seasons.
14:59And there was Wanderlip.
15:03Does go after Kronelpandia.
15:06An Angel 1 Super 6.
15:08And Arshad certainly can.
15:14But he will play an integral part in the second innings.
15:18For GT.
15:21Gets it through.
15:25Boundary.
15:27To Washington Sundar.
15:30Very good shot.
15:34Back shot before.
15:36No chance for Jitish.
15:38It was too wide of him.
15:42Oh, interesting.
15:56Striking again.
15:57Striking again.
15:58An applause from the non-striker's end.
16:01To Arshad Khan.
16:03Oh, that's a magnificent shot.
16:05Now we know.
16:104-3.
16:12In the bat in the last couple of games.
16:14Since coming into the team.
16:17It's Jacob Duffy.
16:20That's...
16:22And straight away strikes.
16:25And again.
16:26Hard length.
16:27Short of a good length.
16:28Or the bouncer has worked brilliantly tonight.
16:31For RCB.
16:34Mr. Reliant.
16:36False start.
16:40You have a lot to be proud.
16:48And they change up through cross-team bowling as well.
16:51They also...
16:58Again, doing everything from just short of a length at the moment.
17:01And as we go to the rest of the bowling now.
17:08Splice of the bat is taking a beating tonight so far.
17:18Coming to the end of the Seatire's strategic timeout.
17:28KG hasn't bowled yet tonight on 28.
17:352 is the call.
17:41It's very soon.
17:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:45Call is for 2 again.
17:46And they should get it.
17:48Back up, back up.
17:50On that occasion, Booby...
18:02Very smart.
18:03Very, very clever.
18:05From world to atia.
18:07Yes, he's the ice man.
18:10He's got such ice-cool temperament.
18:12Back to conventional field.
18:13Long off and long...
18:16Needs to clear the fielder.
18:18Unlikely.
18:20Unlikely.
18:21The catch is taken.
18:23Rasik Salamdar.
18:25What a season he's having.
18:27You wondered when they lost Yash Dayal.
18:29What the support would be like.
18:30In the final.
18:35Go, no, sir.
18:53That's one of...
18:54One of the qualities of RCB this year.
18:58They've identified people in...
19:07And some runs coming.
19:09Might be in a trickle, but they're coming still.
19:12They're coming largely from Washington Sundar.
19:16And he's got to pay the...
19:18One, one.
19:27So many people here for whom this game...
19:31Beats the fielder, but there's support in the deep.
19:35Good job.
19:37Running and...
19:38We'll stick it to just one run.
19:47Well, that might just be in the gap.
19:48He does well.
19:49No, he doesn't go over it.
19:51Hit it well to reach there.
19:56It's a toy.
19:56They use it sometimes.
19:58Yeah, I think they were probably looking to...
20:00Maybe see if it...
20:06That was drifting down leg too.
20:10Last 30 balls.
20:1251 for two.
20:14Oh, lovely.
20:16That is a reason a lot of us thought he might have come in here.
20:21He's put that in the gap too.
20:23This is excellent batting.
20:24From Washington Sundar.
20:29Back in...
20:312009.
20:32And there, RCB connection goes all...
20:35That's what RCB needs.
20:36To win back-to-back titles.
20:39156 from their 20 overs.
20:42It's not a big score to get, but they need to get off to a good start.
20:46They're good.
20:48It's a big crowd today.
20:50And 30 of support for RCB.
20:52They'll be hoping they get this 156 needed.
20:56To win back-to-back titles.
21:00And Shobhangil makes his way out to the center.
21:03Actually, not to lose wickets.
21:04But how do you do that?
21:05By staying positive.
21:06Through running between the wickets and a good body level.
21:09Krishna.
21:11Experience.
21:13Lots of experience.
21:14Lots of aggression.
21:15Lots of guys that do the basics well, like you said, AB.
21:19And they have Jason Holder in the middle.
21:21On the outside.
21:23And there's the hint of swing.
21:26It's on the money first up.
21:28Swing from Siraj.
21:37The noise out here.
21:40Ooh, that was not far away from the leg stump.
21:45He moved early.
21:47Probably Siraj saw it.
21:56We've seen the loss.
22:04Get two.
22:06So the first.
22:07Siraj is skinny.
22:08Quick through the aim.
22:09That's his strength.
22:11Skiddy.
22:12Quick through the aim.
22:14That's a good shot.
22:18That's his strength.
22:20And he can offer the full face of the blade.
22:22Go down the ground.
22:23Or inside out over cover.
22:28There's.
22:29There's the extra bounce.
22:32I just want to ask you.
22:35Oh, he's picked this up beautifully for six.
22:39Long levers.
22:42Get into action here.
22:47And this is even better.
22:49Full face of the blade.
22:51He's in pain.
22:51But he's scoring runs.
22:53Hang around.
22:55He will take his chances.
22:57He knows running between the wickets is an issue.
23:03And it's gone over.
23:05And it's gone over Butler.
23:11That's four.
23:12Beats the man in the deep.
23:13A string onto the pads.
23:24Yeah, it's not your role, V.
23:26Take it easy.
23:28That last one.
23:29Game.
23:30That's four.
23:33Second boundary of the over.
23:39This just shows how small.
23:43Oh, he's in the mood here.
23:47Tripling into the fence.
24:01It's coming far too easily now for RCB.
24:07Well, that's smashed on the onside.
24:11Consecutive boundaries.
24:13The RCB supporters on their feet at the moment.
24:18Now they're going off the road.
24:20Oh, that's the best of the lot.
24:25Superb timing.
24:26Just a flick of the wrist.
24:28And it's gone.
24:30There he goes again.
24:32Not a boundary.
24:37They're going at the rate of knots here, RCB.
24:40Eight.
24:43Giraj with his third.
24:51Balls.
24:53There he goes again.
24:54But this time, he'll clear the boundary again.
24:57Just briefly, the fielder running round the bend.
25:00Thought he might be in contention.
25:02Stuck a hand out.
25:03He's injured.
25:04Needs a rest here.
25:05Another equally good winger.
25:06I think RCB have done that with Venkatesha here.
25:09Picked Venkatesha.
25:13Straight to the fielder this time.
25:1832 of 15 has done his job in providing a magnificent start
25:22and taking all the pressure from a chase in the finals
25:26out of the equation.
25:28Yes.
25:29He will give it everything.
25:30Mohamed Siraj.
25:36The quiet strike.
25:41Alright, this guy.
26:06No pressure at all on RCB.
26:14It's not a bad over this.
26:16Coming back from times before that.
26:19There he goes again.
26:21Kohli is not holding back.
26:24Angel won super sixes of the season.
26:26Patidar is there.
26:27And 42.
26:28Abhishek 43.
26:31Oh, big.
26:33Huge.
26:34This is what Patidar does so well.
26:37Still share.
26:42There's a lot of by-play going on there.
26:45Never seems to overhit the ball.
26:46Never seems
26:48to lose his shape.
26:50Lose his balance.
26:52So awful.
26:55The Sierra super striker of the match is up.
26:58The 270.
27:01In the last eight years,
27:02the team that's won the first qualifier
27:04has gone on to win the IPL.
27:06Every single year.
27:07The offside.
27:19Patidar makes room.
27:21It's a magnificent job.
27:23End of the Sierra Tyre strategic timeout.
27:28The G team.
27:30It's a good dice to throw.
27:31One of the...
27:35This might be it.
27:37Oops.
27:38Oops.
27:39But he's held on.
27:41And Rashid Khan
27:42has made an impact
27:44straight away.
27:45And that is important.
27:47Because in the previous over
27:48he was taken for runs.
27:49I don't think he got a second over.
27:54Aggressive.
27:57Oh, that could be close.
27:59It is close.
28:00Roushid Khan
28:002 in the over.
28:03The complexion is changing.
28:11And that's not it.
28:13That's not the contribution.
28:16Virat will love that.
28:17The chase master.
28:19Yes, we've already
28:21spoken about the fact that
28:41the action is...
28:44Hit the gap.
28:45It's hit the gap.
28:46Beautifully done.
28:48By...
28:55Looking for it.
28:57Wow.
28:59I was just wondering
29:00whether the silly point
29:01might be in play.
29:03Oh.
29:05That was the googly
29:06with no short leg.
29:09Oh.
29:10For valuable runs.
29:23Just passed and it will be 50.
29:27His fastest ever in the IPL.
29:31It's no wonder they call him
29:32the chase master.
29:34You give him a target.
29:35You give him a difficult...
29:36to RCB last year.
29:38And only CSK and Mumbai.
29:41Twice don't think that way anymore.
29:45So...
29:45Now there's a fielder.
29:48Well over him.
29:49The ship is 33.
29:51Oh.
29:54He's struggling.
29:58And he plays that role well.
30:01This time finds...
30:03The end of the...
30:04Theatre strategic timeout.
30:12In the gap for four.
30:13That'll take a lot of load
30:14of everybody.
30:16Because Tim David
30:16is now moving up a gear.
30:19Yes.
30:20He'll be looking for the boundaries
30:21and the big hits.
30:24Just so well structured.
30:26You'd have to say
30:27even though they're
30:28defending champions
30:29from the outside.
30:33They think there's an edge.
30:34The keeper threw the ball up
30:36straight away.
30:40There's a clear spike
30:41when the ball is next to the bat.
30:43Satisfied bat involved.
30:46Look to get on with...
30:49No!
30:50No!
30:59Oh.
31:03A beautiful shot.
31:07He's timed it sweetly.
31:09And in the gap.
31:14Which means if he has to
31:16put in the squeeze
31:16getting a few more
31:18fielders in
