Gujarat Titans\u2019 season ended on a grim note after the IPL 2026 final defeat, but the franchise narrowly avoided something far worse when a fire broke out on their team bus. Reports indicate that a short circuit triggered the blaze, and while the incident created panic, the players were evacuated without serious injury. The bus was on its way back from the Narendra Modi Stadium to the hotel in Ahmedabad on Sunday night when the problem occurred.<\/p>\n
The fire left the Titans stranded for roughly an hour, but the situation was brought under control and everyone was kept safe. The team\u2019s escape from a potentially dangerous moment came after a disappointing finish to the final itself, adding yet another setback to an already difficult evening.<\/p>\n
The bus incident was the latest in a chain of travel disruptions for Gujarat Titans. Earlier in the schedule, their itinerary demanded a demanding route through multiple cities before the business end of the tournament.<\/p>\n
Following the defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL final on Sunday, Gujarat Titans\u2019 Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki spoke candidly about the match and how the schedule may have weighed on the team. RCB won by five wickets, and Solanki acknowledged that the Titans\u2019 innings\u2014posted at 155\/8\u2014fell below the par mark, even as his side fought hard to defend it.<\/p>\n
