After the Gujarat franchise made its second showpiece in five seasons, it fell short of a repeat title, with the pressure starting to build early as the batting effort from the top order\u2014Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler\u2014didn\u2019t quite fire when it mattered most.<\/p>\n<p>While the Titans\u2019 bowlers fought hard to defend 156, it wasn\u2019t enough in the end as Virat Kohli anchored Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s chase with a fighting 75 not out off 42 balls, laced with nine fours and three sixes. Kohli\u2019s composure helped RCB successfully defend its title bid and claim the trophy with two overs to spare.<\/p>\n<h2>What Gill said after the final<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking after the match, Gill pointed to the margin that separated the teams.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>He felt that posting close to 180 or 190 would likely have created a tougher contest: \u201cIf we had gotten close to 180, 190, it would have been a good match.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>On whether the pitch played slowly or offered extra variation, he said it was not a major factor, adding that there might have been a touch of it.<\/li>\n<li>Gill noted that during the opening overs, fast bowlers get some movement, but Gujarat lost a couple of early wickets and couldn\u2019t find momentum in the middle phase.<\/li>\n<li>He stressed that even totals of 150 or 160 can be competitive if the team secures a couple of early breakthroughs in the powerplay, keeping the contest in its favour.<\/li>\n<li>Gill also expressed regret at not \u201cgetting over the line\u201d and said there is always room to improve, describing their process of continually pushing and refining those small \u201cfive per cent\u201d aspects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>He concluded by acknowledging that even if they had won, the group would still have identified areas to work on together.<\/p>\n<h2>RCB vs GT: how the match unfolded<\/h2>\n<p>RCB won the toss and asked Gujarat to bat first. The Titans finished on 155\/8 in their 20 overs, unable to build a truly dominant platform.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Washington Sundar top-scored for Gujarat with 50 not out off 37 balls, striking five fours.<\/li>\n<li>Nishant Sindhu made 20 off 18 deliveries, including three boundaries as the only other batter to cross the 20-run mark.<\/li>\n<li>Rasikh Dar Salam returned 3\/27, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 2\/29 and Josh Hazlewood claimed 2\/37 to keep taking wickets at regular intervals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>RCB\u2019s response began strongly, with a 62-run partnership between Venkatesh Iyer and Virat Kohli. Venkatesh contributed 32 off 16 balls, including four boundaries and two sixes, before the Titans applied pressure with timely dismissals.<\/p>\n<p>Gujarat fought back to reduce RCB to 132\/5 at one stage. However, Kohli remained firm and carried his side through the chase, finishing unbeaten on 75 off 42 balls with nine fours and three sixes. RCB ultimately reached the target with two overs remaining.<\/p>\n<h2>Title and trophy context<\/h2>\n<p>This victory marks RCB\u2019s second IPL title triumph and their fourth overall Indian franchise championship, counting two Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) titles in addition to their men\u2019s success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat Titans captain
