Firstly, MS Dhoni made CSK the champion twice in a row in 2010 and 2011. After that, Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians to two consecutive trophies in 2019 and 2020. Now in 2025 and 2026, Rajat Patidar has done this great feat by making RCB win two consecutive trophies.

After winning the match, Kohli told the winning formula

After the match was over, Virat Kohli said, ‘I told some boys that this time there is not the same pressure as it was last year. The calm and composed thinking of our players was clearly visible tonight. We had a few defeats after the break but our aim was to finish on top. The win against MI gave us a lot of confidence. The best thing is that there are such players in the team, where you do not feel that you are the only one who has to step forward and perform for the team.
