The match, held at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, witnessed stellar performances from RCB's bowlers and praise from former legends AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle.
The final was a nail-biter with Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Yash Dayal each playing pivotal roles in RCB's six-run victory. The victory ended an 18-year wait for RCB, under the leadership of skipper Rajat Patidar, granting Virat Kohli his first IPL triumph.

Meanwhile, RCB plans a grand victory parade in Bengaluru, celebrating their maiden title with fans along a route from Vidhana Soudha to Chinnaswamy Stadium.
