RCB are champions again in IPL 2026: But will Bengaluru get a victory parade this time?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have successfully defended their Indian Premier League title at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday after they successfully chased down 155 against Gujarat Titans.

However, Virat Kohli stood firm through the wobble, brought up his fifth half-century of the season, and finished the job in style by hitting Arshad Khan for a six to seal a five-wicket win with 12 balls remaining.
