Royal Challengers Bangalore have created history by winning the IPL trophy for the second consecutive year. In the final, Bengaluru defeated Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets. There was a period when RCB could not win a single trophy in 17 seasons, but Rajat Patidar has turned the fortunes of the Bengaluru franchise around.
Bengaluru maintained its dominance throughout the season. First topped the points table, then easily overcome the challenge of Qualifier 1 and created history by defeating Gujarat Titans in a one-sided fashion in the final challenge i.e. the final.
