In the IPL 2026 final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans managed to post a total of 155 runs for 8 wickets against the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Washington Sundar played a pivotal role, scoring an unbeaten 50 runs after receiving an early reprieve when a catch off his bat was overruled. The Titans' innings faced early challenges as RCB's Josh Hazlewood dismissed captain Shubman Gill for just 10 runs and Bhuvneshwar Kumar added pressure by taking the wicket of Sai Sudharsan, who scored 12 runs. Despite losing key players like Jos Buttler and Rahul Tewatia, Sundar's resilience shone through as he hit several boundaries to stabilize the innings. Hazlewood's impactful bowling saw him take three wickets, while Kumar and Rasik Salam contributed with two and three wickets, respectively. Sundar's performance was crucial in helping Gujarat Titans reach a competitive total, setting the stage for an exciting final.
