Suyash Sharma IPL 2026 Celebration: An interesting moment during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium quickly became a talking point, as spinner Suyash Sharma pulled off a familiar celebration after dismissing GT skipper Shubman Gill. The gesture echoed Gill’s trademark ‘bow-down’ celebration, which he had famously unveiled at the same venue a few IPL seasons ago after scoring a match-winning century that knocked RCB out of the tournament. This time, however, it was Suyash recreating the move moments after claiming the prized wicket. Check it out:

Earlier in the evening, Gujarat Titans produced a strong batting display after being asked to bat first by Rajat Patidar. Sai Sudharsan led the charge with his third IPL century, anchoring the innings superbly.
His knock proved to be the backbone of Gujarat’s imposing total of 205/3. With consistent support from the rest of the batting unit, the visitors ensured they set a challenging target on a batting-friendly surface at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Kohli, RCB Hit Back Hard

The former captain struck 81 runs off just 44 balls (after being dropped on a duck), laying a solid platform for the chase. During his knock, Kohli also achieved a major milestone, becoming the first player in IPL history to reach 800 fours.
Devdutt Padikkal complemented him perfectly, playing a brisk innings of 55 from 27 balls. Their partnership kept RCB firmly in the hunt, even as Rashid Khan struck late to create some pressure.
The game tightened in the closing stages when Jason Holder dismissed Kohli, raising hopes of a late twist. However, Tim David and Krunal Pandya held their nerve in the final overs, ensuring there were no further hiccups.
RCB eventually crossed the finish line with 206 for 5 in 18.5 overs, sealing an important victory in front of their home crowd and collecting two valuable points.
