Gujarat Titans were restricted to 155-8 by defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL) final on Sunday night.

Washington Sundar finished on 50 not out, hitting five fours in his 37-ball innings. No other Gujarat batter topped 20.

Pacer Rasikh Salam took 3-27 in his four overs.

Bengaluru won the toss and chose to field at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The final is a rematch of the first playoff on Tuesday when Bengaluru beat Gujarat by 92 runs in Dharamsala.

Bengaluru, along with star player Virat Kohli, are eying back-to-back titles after winning their first IPL trophy in the 18th edition of the T20 tournament last year.

They come in unchanged from their win over Gujarat in the first play-off to secure direct entry into the final.

Kohli's iconic number 18 jersey dominated the stands at the 130,000-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium, which is home to Gujarat.
Bengaluru and Gujarat have won their titles at the same venue.

Gujarat, led by Shubman Gill, hammered Rajasthan Royals in the last play-off to qualify for their third final in five years. They won the title in 2022, their debut year.

Gill, who is India's Test and ODI captain, took over as Gujarat skipper ahead of the 2024 season and was heading into his first final as leader.
