As Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured back-to-back Indian Premier League (IPL) titles, RCB's batting icon Virat Kohli reflected on Bengaluru's triumphs, saying the team challenged themselves after last year's glory by asking whether they could repeat the feat.
RCB clinched IPL 2026 glory, riding on a stunning 75* off 42 by Virat Kohli, to beat Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL 2026 final in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
RCB gunned down a tricky 156 runs to join five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) in the elite list of clubs to have won back-to-back IPL titles.
Put to bat first by RCB, GT scored just 155/8 in 20 overs, with Washington Sundar (50* in 37 balls, with five fours) and Nishant Sindhu (20 in 18 balls, with three fours) being the only ones to cross the 20-run mark. Rasikh Dar Salam (3/27), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/29) and Josh Hazlewood (2/37) took wickets regularly.
RCB started well with a 62-run stand between Venkatesh Iyer (32 in 16 balls, with four boundaries and two sixes) and Virat Kohli.
GT showed some fight, reducing RCB to 132/5 at one point, but Kohli's (75* in 42 balls, with nine fours and three sixes) guided RCB to a win with two overs left.

Honestly, it's refreshing to see these superstars just having fun. After all the pressure of IPL, this candid moment shows the real bond between players. Anushka cheering in the background made it extra special. 😊
Kikli boys for the win! 🪁 This is what we needed after the intensity of the tournament. Kohli's captaincy and batting have been legendary, but his playful side makes him even more relatable. Also, Bhuvi's smile is infectious!
I'm not even an RCB fan (CSK forever! 💛), but this video made me smile. Kohli and Bhuvi doing kikli is just... iconic Indian culture moment. And great to see the celebrations after such a close final. Well played, RCB!
Can we talk about how Kohli is 38 and still dancing like a college kid? That's the energy we need in life. 🫡 And Bhuvi's bowling was top-notch in the final too—3 wickets! What a team effort.
Seeing Kohli and Anushka together post-match, and then this kikli moment with Bhuvi... it's like watching two sides of the same coin. One is power couple vibes, the other is pure childhood nostalgia. RCB is serving content! 🎉
