LSG were the first team to be eliminated and finished with the wooden spoon, which prompted Rishabh Pant to step down as captain. MI endured a similarly forgettable campaign with their seniors underperforming and only a slightly better NRR spared them from the last place. CSK played the entire season without their stalwart MS Dhoni and persistent injuries cost them dearly. KKR took over 20 days to register their first win, and despite a strong second-half comeback, they fell short. DC missed out on the playoffs for the fifth successive time as they blew hot and cold throughout the season. PBKS looked like an unstoppable force while sitting at the top on a 7-match unbeaten streak, but they crashed out dramatically after six consecutive defeats. SRH were one of the three sides on 18 points but they finished third and were knocked out in the Eliminator. RR started well, stuttered and then recovered to make it to the playoffs but even Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's heroics - a familiar trend this season - couldn't take them past Qualifier 2. Now, it's down to the two teams that finished in the top-two at the end of the group stage. Hello everyone and a warm welcome to the final of the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League. It's Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans at the world's largest cricket stadium.
