The IPL 2026 final between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans is set in Ahmedabad. Fans are focusing on Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill, who have both performed well this season but differently. Kohli’s numbers against Gujarat are impressive, while Gill’s stats against other teams are less so.
Kohli has played 9 innings against Gujarat in this IPL season and scored 503 runs. His average is 71.85 with a strike rate of 153.82. He has also made two centuries and four half-centuries. On the other hand, Gill has faced 17 innings against teams like KKR and Gujarat but only managed 395 runs. His average is much lower at 28.21 with a strike rate of 140.56. He has only one century.
A notable point is that both Kohli and Gill scored centuries in the same match last year. During the 2023 IPL game between Bangalore and Gujarat, Kohli hit 101 runs, and Gill followed with 104 to secure a win.
It’s clear Kohli has a stronger record against Gujarat. Gill’s performance against other teams, while decent, doesn’t match Kohli’s dominance. The final could be a clash where Kohli’s experience against Gujarat might play a bigger role.
The stats show Kohli’s consistency and ability to perform against Gujarat. Gill, though a key player, has not replicated that same level of success in high-pressure matches. Fans will be watching to see if Kohli can continue his form or if Gill can surprise.
The match is scheduled for 31 May 2026 in Ahmedabad. Both teams have strong lineups, but Kohli’s historical performance against Gujarat could be a decisive factor.
