RCB vs GT Dream11 Prediction IPL 2026: It all comes down to this as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru face off the Gujarat Titans in the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. The two teams meet at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the IPL 2026 final. Having won a trophy each, the two teams will be looking to add yet another trophy to their kitty. While Rajat Patidar led RCB to their first trophy in 2025, Shubman Gill could win his first trophy as a captain. As the two teams meet in this crucial match, here is a look at the RCB vs GT Dream11 team.
It is expected that the final match pitch of IPL 2026 at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium will be very conducive to batting. Due to the well-known red-soil tracks of the stadium that provide a true bounce and carry, batters will have no difficulty in playing over the line and scoring quickly right from the first ball. Though it is possible to chase down scores above 200, teams batting first on this level ground usually look to cross the 210-run mark to set a challenging target.

Safe picks: Virat Kohli could be a safe pick for captaincy, while Kagiso Rabada for a vice-captain slot.
