IPL 2026: Unchanged RCB Elect To Bowl First Against GT, Arshad Replaces Sai Kishore
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won the toss and elect to bowl first against Gujarat Titans in the high-stakes IPL 2026 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
Both teams are eyeing their second IPL title and join a select club of teams with multiple championships wins after Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. RCB won IPL 2025 in Ahmedabad, while GT won the title in 2022 at the same venue which is also their home ground.
RCB have an opportunity to join MI and CSK as the only teams to successfully defend their IPL title, especially with the winner of Qualifier 1 winning the trophy last eight times. GT, meanwhile, are playing their third game at a third venue in six days, and reached Ahmedabad only on Saturday night due to inclement weather.
