Kailash Kher headlined the IPL 2026 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. He delivered a highly anticipated live performance during the mid-innings break of the final match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans, treating the massive crowd to his signature soulful and energetic Sufi tracks. His performance was part of a grand entertainment lineup for the summit clash, which also featured a massive drone show, visual displays, and fireworks. The highlight of his performance was the powerful rendition of Shiva Tandav Stotram, followed by his popular numberer ‘Bam Laheri’. His soulful and high-energy chanting of the divine hymn added a spiritual and majestic atmosphere to the grand finale.

Netizens are largely expressing excitement and emotional resonance on Kailash Kher's performance. Some of them on X are also drawing comparisons of his performance in funny banter with GT’s batting performance. Some demanded Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s performance too, instead of Kailash Kher.

Let us have a look at a few of them:

RCB nearing second IPL Trophy dream after Gujarat Titans slip hard in first innings

Gujarat Titans (GT) openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan failed to fire in the IPL 2026 final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Ahmedabad, falling cheaply inside the powerplay. Captain Gill was dismissed for 10 off 8 balls, and Sudharsan departed for 12 runs. These early dismissals dealt a huge blow to the Titans' run chase after they elected to bat first. Their dismissals solidified the Orange Cap win for Rajasthan Royals prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who finished the season with 776 runs. Krunal Pandya's taking of Jos Buttler was the final nail in the coffin as GT went back on its feet. Only Washington Sundar’s unbeaten 50 helped them put up a respectable total.

RCB’s disciplined bowling attack consistently struck at regular intervals to prevent GT from building momentum and restricted them to 155/8. Rasikh Salam Dar delivered a match-winning spell of 3/27 in 4 overs for the RCB in the IPL 2026 Final, supported well by Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and economical Krunal Pandya. RCB had dominated the final and just an innings away hopefully to clinch their second consecutive trophy.
