Both Gujarat Titans and RCB are the strongest teams of this season, there will be a tough competition between them. Earlier, these two teams had clashed in Qualifier-1, in which RCB had registered a big victory. Now Gujarat Titans, captained by Shubman Gill, would like to take revenge from RCB by winning the final.

Meanwhile, Rajat Patidar (King Patidar) RCB led by BCCI would like to win the trophy for the second consecutive season. Last year, RCB won the IPL title for the first time by defeating Punjab Kings in the final. Now Rajat Patidar is eyeing to win the trophy for the second consecutive time.

This rule will apply when it rains

If it starts raining at the time of the final match on May 31, efforts will still be made to hold the match on the same day. If the rain stops, the match will be completed by cutting the overs. Let us tell you that for the result of any match, it is necessary to play at least 5-5 overs. However, if it rains continuously and the match could not start or had to be stopped midway, then the match would be restarted the next day i.e. on June 1. A reserve day has been kept for the final match of IPL 2026. In such a situation, the match will be held on June 1.

What will happen if it rains even on the reserve day?

If the match cannot be played due to rain even on the Reserve Day, it will be declared cancelled. In such a situation, RCB will clearly get a big advantage. Actually, if the match is cancelled, the team with a better position in the points table will be declared champion. In the league stage, RCB team was at number one in the points table, while Gujarat Titans (Gujarat Titans) Was in second place. In such a situation, RCB will clearly become the champion. Although there is very little chance of this happening, the weather can change at any time.

Something similar was seen in the final of 2023. That year also the final was played on the same ground, which took place between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Due to rain on the first day of the match, the match was shifted to the reserve day, but it started raining again during the second innings. In such a situation, the overs were reduced under the Duckworth-Lewis rule. Ultimately CSK achieved the target of 171 runs in 15 overs, achieving which Chennai became the champion.
