In the IPL 2026 final held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans (GT) faced a dismal batting performance, scoring only 155 runs against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The Titans' top order, including skipper Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler, collapsed early, with Washington Sundar's 50 runs being the only significant contribution.
