Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defended their IPL crown, winning back-to-back titles in style, with none other than Virat Kohli sealing the victory with a trademark six. As celebrations erupted, one of the most heartwarming moments of the night came when Kohli met 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the teenager who didn't just break records this season but etched his name into IPL history. It was a night that belonged to two of the biggest stars of IPL 2026, one who guided his team to glory and another who captivated the cricketing world with a dream season. After RCB's triumph, Kohli was seen congratulating Vaibhav, who swept the awards ceremony by winning the Emerging Player of the Season, Super Striker of the Season, Super Sixes of the Season, Orange Cap, and Most Valuable Player awards. Kohli himself had plenty to celebrate. The RCB veteran was named Player of the Match after producing a match-winning unbeaten 75 off 42 deliveries, finishing the chase with a six to spark wild celebrations among the Bengaluru faithful. Following the presentation ceremony, Kohli and Vaibhav were spotted sharing a light-hearted conversation on the field, creating one of the most memorable images of the season. Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru continued their dominance and clinched back-to-back IPL titles after defeating Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets in the IPL 2026 Final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT posted 155/8 in their 20 overs, but RCB's disciplined bowling attack kept the dangerous batting lineup in check. Despite a few late boundaries, Gujarat never managed to build substantial partnerships and finished with a below-par total. In reply, RCB chased down the target comfortably, reaching 161/5 in just 18 overs. Virat Kohli led the charge with a brilliant unbeaten 75 off 42 balls, anchoring the innings and ensuring there were no late hiccups. His knock proved decisive as RCB crossed the finish line with two overs to spare and sealed their second consecutive IPL crown. The victory further strengthened RCB's status as the team to beat in the tournament, while GT finished as worthy runners-up after an impressive campaign under captain Shubman Gill.
