Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar spoke about the significance of a well-rounded bowling attack ahead of the IPL 2026 final against Gujarat Titans (GT). He highlighted the contributions of star bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, who have taken 26 and 13 wickets respectively, but underscored the importance of support from other bowlers like Rasikh Salam Dar and Krunal Pandya. Patidar noted that with high scores becoming common in matches, having a strong bowling unit is crucial for defending totals. He stated, "You cannot win a competition or a match with just one or two bowlers," emphasizing the need for consistent performances from the entire bowling group. Patidar acknowledged that both RCB and GT have demonstrated excellent bowling skills throughout the tournament, which will be vital in the final clash. RCB's bowling depth will be tested against GT's formidable lineup, including Kagiso Rabada, who leads the season with 28 wickets.
