Ahead of IPL 2026 final between RCB and GT, ex-India captain Kris Srikkanth said, "RCB are 100% outright favourites...It's 65-35 RCB for sure." "It won't be a 100% close match. GT's only chance of winning is by getting RCB all out between 160 and 170," Srikkanth added. "GT's bowling has to do extraordinarily well for them to win," he stated.
