Ahead of the RCB-GT IPL 2026 final in Ahmedabad, ex-India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin said, "RCB are going in as the favourites." "For RCB, it doesn't matter whether they bat or bowl first...it's their final to lose...Whatever they do, they must not...play any less attacking cricket than they've played throughout," he added. RCB will play their fifth IPL final on Sunday.
