Chasing 114 runs for victory, RCB reached the target with three balls to spare with all rounder Ellyse Perry remaining unbeaten on 35 runs off 37 balls. A key factor behind the side chasing a sub-par total on Sunday was the performance of their spin quartet-Sophie Molinuex, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana and Georgia Wareham- who shared nine out out of the 10 wickets between them to ensure DC never had found momentum in their innings.

RCB had reached the final after beating 2023 champions Mumbai Indians by five runs in the eliminator clash on Friday.

Kohli has played every season for RCB in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since the tournament's inception in 2008 and is yet to lift the trophy, despite reaching three finals in 2009, 2011 and 2016.
