After posting a modest total of 155 runs in the IPL 2026 final, the Gujarat Titans needed an early breakthrough with the ball to put the Royal Challengers Bengaluru under pressure. However, RCB's batters came out with aggressive intent and looked determined to capitalise on the powerplay.

Opener Venkatesh Iyer got off to a flying start, attacking the Gujarat bowlers from the outset. The left-hander struck several boundaries and appeared well on course for a big score as he dominated the early exchanges and kept the scoreboard moving at a rapid pace.

Gujarat Titans finally found a breakthrough in the second over when Mohammed Siraj dismissed Iyer for 32 runs. The wicket was made possible by a brilliant piece of fielding from Gujarat's ace pacer Kagiso Rabada, who sprinted forward and completed a superb running catch near mid-off. The stunning effort quickly became one of the highlights of the final and provided Gujarat with a much-needed boost in their defense of 155.
