In a remarkable performance during the IPL 2026 final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Rasikh Salam Dar, a fast bowler for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), made history by becoming only the second uncapped player to take three or more wickets in an IPL final. The 26-year-old cricketer bowled four overs, claiming three wickets for just 27 runs. His exceptional bowling was pivotal in helping RCB restrict the Gujarat Titans to a total of 155 runs in their 20 overs after RCB captain Rajat Patidar chose to bowl first upon winning the toss. This achievement places Dar alongside Karanveer Singh, who previously set the record for the best bowling figures by an uncapped player in an IPL final in 2014, with four wickets for 54 runs. Additionally, the overall record for the best bowling figures in an IPL final is held by Anil Kumble, who took four wickets for only 16 runs in the 2009 final. Dar's performance not only highlights his potential but also adds to the excitement of the IPL finals.
