V IRAT KOHLI’S unbeaten 75 and inspired bowling led Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their second straight Indian Premier League (IPL) title with a five-wicket win over Gujarat Titans on Sunday. Bengaluru restricted Gujarat to 155-8, a

to hit the winning run,” said the 37-year-old Kohli, who was named player of the match. “Felt really relaxed coming in. The team we have gives confidence to see any kind of situation through. Knew exactly what to do in the chase. Such is the demand (with) super young players pushing you to up the ante.” Kohli added: “We knew what kind of ability we have in the group. And we just said one thing, ‘If we stick to our cricket, if we execute our plans, we are the best team in the competition.” Kohli’s iconic number 18 jersey domi nated the stands at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s biggest cricket ground which recorded an official atten dance of over 90,000 spectators on Sunday. Kohli and fellow opener Venkatesh Iyer, who hit 32 off 16 balls, got Bengaluru off to a flying start in a 62-run partnership. Mohammed Siraj broke the stand as he dismissed Iyer and Kagiso Rabada removed Devdutt Padikkal from the other end. Rashid Khan struck twice in one over to send back Patidar for 15 and Krunal Pandya to raise Gujarat’s hopes. But Tim David and Kohli put on 41 runs to steady the reply. David fell for 24 but Kohli saw the team through with Jitesh Sharma for company. Kohli has stepped away from Test cricket and T20 internationals and plays just the ODI format for India. Patidar joined an elite group of IPL captains to win back-to-back titles. MS Dhoni achieved the feat with Chennai Super Kings in 2010 and 2011, while Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians to glory in 2019 and 2020. “This year was more calm with the way we played throughout the tournament,” Patidar told reporters, as he celebrated his 33rd birthday in style. “My way of cap taincy is different. I am not expressive but aware of the game situations.” Gujarat batting coach Matthew Hayden told the media: “We have apex predators but couldn’t get going in the powerplay. I thought it was an incredible bowling per formance by RCB.” Gujarat finished runners-up for the sec ond time in three finals. Their only triumph came in their debut season in 2022. – AFP

total they chased down with 12 balls to spare after Kohli reached his fifth half-cen tury of the season in a lopsided final in Ahmedabad. Kohli sealed victory with a six to cap a magnificent 42-ball innings featuring nine fours and three sixes, then pointed to the stands as Bengaluru players sprinted out to celebrate. Bengaluru, led by Rajat Patidar, and Kohli have been on a roll since they won their first IPL crown at the 18th attempt last year. They finished top of the 10 team table after this season’s league stage. “Stuff you dream of. Thought of this moment many times, wanting
