RCB beat Gujarat Titans by five wickets in the IPL 2026 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to retain the title. Kohli then shared a set of photographs featuring the IPL trophy as well as teammates Devdutt Padikkal, Krunal Pandya, Jitesh Sharma and captain Rajat Patidar.<\/p>\n<h2>Kohli\u2019s message: from back-to-back dreams to the winning moment<\/h2>\n<p>In his caption, Kohli referenced the question that drove the season after their previous triumph: \u201cWe asked ourselves a question last year\u2014can we go back to back? Here we are again.\u201d At 37-and-a-half years of age, the veteran batter said he continues to adapt as the game evolves. He struck the quickest T20 half-century of his career and completed a long-held desire by delivering the runs that finished the chase and secured an RCB title in a successful defence.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli\u2019s unbeaten 75 was described as the foundation of RCB\u2019s second IPL trophy, and he said the winning run is the kind of moment he has envisioned repeatedly. \u201c(It is the) stuff you dream of. (I) thought of this moment many times, wanting to hit the winning run,\u201d he said at the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\n<h2>Adapting to modern T20: the thinking behind the fastest half-century<\/h2>\n<p>When asked about his blistering 25-ball fifty, Kohli explained that his approach has changed to match the intensity of today\u2019s cricket. \u201cSuch is the demand (that) super young players (are) pushing you to up the ante,\u201d he said, adding that the seriousness of the statement resonated with many. He further stressed that he adjusted his mindset rather than abandoning his core game plan. \u201cI had to change my mindset, not my game so much, take on bowlers and get extra runs,\u201d Kohli added.<\/p>\n<h2>Team depth, key contributors, and the chase plan<\/h2>\n<p>One of Kohli\u2019s biggest takeaways from the season was the collective output of the squad. In the first 10 matches, eight different RCB players won the Player of the Match award, highlighting the team\u2019s depth. \u201cWe\u2019ve had to wait for so long and then just to have a group of guys where you feel like you\u2019re stepping onto the ground, you don\u2019t need to be the one to step up every time,\u201d Kohli said.<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed to the confidence that comes from having teammates who can win games consistently. \u201cThese guys are behind you (and) around you, who can win games of cricket for you. We have so many Man of the Match awards spread throughout the group as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kohli singled out the quality of RCB\u2019s bowling, mentioning world-class names and the impact they made during the campaign. \u201cYou look at world-class bowling of Hoff (Josh Hazlewood), Bhuv (Bhuvneshwar Kumar), Duff (Jacob Duffy), and Krunal Pandya &#8211; you can bank on him as good as ever &#8211; Rasikh (Salam) Dar was brilliant this season,\u201d Kohli said.<\/p>\n<p>He credited the balance and standard of the side put together by RCB\u2019s management over the past two seasons. \u201cI felt really relaxed coming in. The team we have gives confidence to see any kind of situation through. (We) knew exactly what to do in the chase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kohli added that RCB stayed focused on their own cricket instead of getting distracted by what opponents might be planning. \u201cOur first target was to go top of the table. We didn\u2019t care what jersey was in front of us thereon. We\u2019re respectful, don\u2019t poke any team. We have mature professionals and experience shines through.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kohli said senior players are expected to deliver when stakes are highest, adding that the chase suited the team\u2019s strengths.<\/li>\n<li>He believes RCB\u2019s group includes the right balance to handle pressure and still execute plans late in matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Mo Bobat\u2019s message, powerplay clarity, and a different kind of pressure<\/h2>\n<p>After RCB\u2019s maiden title in 2025, Kohli revealed that a message from Director of Cricket Mo Bobat became a driving force behind the defence. \u201cWhen we won last year, Mo Bobat said this is not the end of the journey and we had to go back-to-back. At the start of the chase, I told Venky (Venkatesh Iyer) that we need to kill the game in the powerplay. There was total clarity,\u201d Kohli said.<\/p>\n<p>He also believes the current squad is strong across departments, with contributions coming from multiple batting positions. \u201cAll the batsmen chipped in as well. I feel so happy to play in a group where we have balance, we have strength, and we are an all-around strong team and that\u2019s why we have the confidence we have on the field right now,\u201d Kohli said.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli admitted that the pressure heading into this year\u2019s final was noticeably different from what the team felt in 2025. \u201cI said to a few of the boys that it doesn\u2019t feel like the same pressure as last year, we knew what kind of ability we have in the group,\u201d he said. He added that finishing top of the table reflected their process, and that the team repeated a simple message: \u201cif we stick to our cricket, if we execute our plans, we are the best team in the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that RCB\u2019s league-stage performance translated into match temperament in the knockout phase. \u201cIn the group stage, we ended up topping the league stage and just the skill sets (that) we have, the maturity, the composure of the guys just shown through again tonight and it was a clinical performance brought throughout the tournament,\u201d Kohli said.<\/p>\n<h3>Turning points after the break<\/h3>\n<p>Kohli also recalled a crucial spell late in the season when RCB were thrown off rhythm after a short break, before regaining momentum. \u201cAfter the break, we had a couple of losses\u2026 I mean, one loss, and then we had a close win against MI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that once the team got back to winning ways against Mumbai Indians in Raipur, belief returned quickly. \u201cI\u2019d say that week for us was a bit tricky because we wanted to finish top, but as soon as we got there, (with the) win against MI, the belief kicked back in, then we had a comprehensive win against KKR and then, yeah, just ended up topping the table and just on our way to the finals,\u201d Kohli said.<\/p>\n<h2>RCB\u2019s fan support despite the venue: \u201890 per cent\u2019 behind them<\/h2>\n<p>Although the final was staged at Gujarat Titans\u2019 home ground, Kohli said he was overwhelmed by the support RCB received from the stands. \u201cWe have 14 home games, not seven, we have fans behind us all the time&#8230; 90 per cent fans are on our side despite it being GT&#8217;s home ground.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: After Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifted their second consecutive IPL crown, Virat Kohli marked the moment with a
