Vijay Mallya, the former owner of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), celebrated the franchise's remarkable achievement of winning back-to-back Indian Premier League (IPL) titles. RCB secured their second consecutive title by defeating Gujarat Titans by five wickets in the IPL 2026 final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with Virat Kohli playing a pivotal role by scoring an unbeaten 75.
