Virat Kohli guided Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their second IPL title as the defending champions cantered to a five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad.
Kohli struck a 25-ball half-century – his 68th and fastest-ever in the IPL – en route to an unbeaten 75 and shared crucial partnerships of 62 and 41 with Venkatesh Iyer and Tim David as RCB reached their victory target of 156 with 12 balls to spare.
The foundations for Kohli’s heroics and RCB’s victory were laid by their bowling attack, as Rasikh Salam (3-27), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2-29) and Josh Hazlewood (2-37) kept GT under constant pressure from the moment they were inserted.
Openers Shubman Gill (10) and Sai Sudharsan (12) were removed inside four overs, while Jos Buttler – the final member of Gujarat Titans’ famous ‘big three’ – was stumped after adding just 19.
Washington Sundar mounted some resistance with the bat, his unbeaten 50 off 37 balls helping GT post a respectable 155-8 after 20 overs.
But it would fall substantially short of a competitive total, despite the best efforts of spinner Rashid Khan, who removed Rajat Patidar and Krunal Pandya in the ninth over to renew GT’s hope of derailing RCB’s chase.
But king of chases Kohli steered the ship home – finishing with nine fours and three sixes – as RCB joined the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in becoming only the third team in history to retain the IPL.
