Most IPL titles by team: Royal Challengers Bengaluru become fourth franchise to win multiple trophies

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have officially added another star above their crest after defeating the Gujarat Titans by five wickets at the 2026 Indian Premier League Final at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday and becoming two-time champions.

Over the years, teams like the Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Kolkata Knight Riders have gone on to become multi-time champions. CSK and MI have won the title five times, while KKR have emerged victorious three times.

RCB have officially joined the ranks after securing two title wins following their latest victory on Sunday in Ahmedabad. Bengaluru also became only the third team in IPL history, after Chennai and Mumbai, to win back-to-back titles in the process.

Virat Kohli led the way with an unbeaten 75 off 42 deliveries, bringing up his fastest IPL fifty along the way as RCB chased down a modest target of 156 with five wickets and two overs to spare. This was after the Royal Challengers dished out a disciplined bowling performance, led by Rasikh Salam Dar's 3/27, after captain Rajat Patidar elected to field.
