The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have played like absolute champions this season and have been at the top of the table throughout the back end of this tournament. The best feature of the Royal Challengers has been that they have never looked dependent on any one or two of their cricketers, and instead, every player in that team stood up whenever the team needed them to.
Coming into the Narendra Modi Stadium, a ground where Shubman Gill, the Gujarat Titans skipper, has had so much success not only for his franchise but also for the Indian team as well, a lot was expected from the skipper. He also played a stupendous innings in the last game, which defined his good form.
Together, these two have added 908 runs in opening partnerships for the Gujarat Titans, which did not let the Titans feel insufficient with the bat despite their sloppy middle order. A partnership worth 900+ runs in a season, most half-century and century partnerships in IPL history, the Titans openers have set a whole new universe of success in the IPL at the end of this season.

Not only did Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar pick those crucial wickets at the start, but also Rasikh Salam, who kept picking wickets in almost every over he was handed the ball by the skipper. Gujarat could not put on a single partnership and could manage only 155 runs in their innings.
Despite a magical first over from Rashid Khan, the spin wizard from Afghanistan, Kohli showed why he is called the chasemaster as he took RCB to their second title in the IPL with an unbeaten knock of 75 runs. He was crowned the Player of the Match and has now overtaken the former MI captain Rohit Sharma.

"If we would have got close to 180-190, it would have been a good match. First three four overs there is some movement for the fast bowlers and we lost momentum after losing a couple of early wickets. We gave away 15-20 runs in the powerplay. I think we were one of the best bowling sides in the tournament," Shubman Gill said.
