The excitement before the IPL 2026 final reached a new height on Sunday as thousands of cricket fans descended outside the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad before the summit clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans. Videos shared on social media captured massive crowds streaming in towards the stadium many hours before the start of the championship game. Supporters decked up in team colours, carrying flags and chanting slogans painted the area around the stadium with a celebratory mood as the wait for the biggest game of the season intensified. The IPL 2026 final has drawn tremendous interest from both fanbases and tickets have been in high demand since the beginning of the week. Security was also tightened around the venue as authorities managed the ingress of thousands of cricket enthusiasts. RCB Fans Own the Atmosphere at the Stadium A prominent aspect of the crowd witnessed outside the Narendra Modi Stadium was the significant presence of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru fanbase. Although the title decider is taking place in Gujarat Titans' backyard, a considerable portion of the fans flocking the stadium were seen wearing the RCB's classic red colours. Several videos that were shared online displayed fans of the Bengaluru-based side chanting and vociferously cheering for their favourite team as they made their way towards the stadium. This massive crowd has been attributed by a lot of social media users to the immense popularity of Virat Kohli. One particular tweet describing the scenes said 'The Craze Of King Kohli', showing the star batter's phenomenal fanbase in the country.

Ex-Indian drops satire before IPL 2026 Final Big Prize for Teams & Players on Stake Apart from all the excitement of lifting the IPL trophy, the finals is also a big occasion for some individual accomplishments. With the contest in the Orange Cap open before the finale, Gujarat Titans Skipper Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan still have a chance to claim their position as the leading run-scorer in the league this season. But a large effort in the final would be required by both players, as they will have to surpass Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from the Rajasthan Royals, who is sitting on top with 776 runs. With two worthy teams, full stands and an electric atmosphere all around the stadium, it looks like Ahmedabad is all set for one of the greatest IPL 2026 finals ever to witness. The scene outside the Narendra Modi Stadium itself suggests the great excitement over the final tie as thousands of fans were seen pouring over to see the biggest match of the season.
