Gujarat Titans Evacuated Safely After Team Bus Short Circuit Post IPL Final LossNext

Following their IPL 2026 final loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans' team bus suffered a short circuit causing smoke and a breakdown while returning to their hotel in Ahmedabad. All players and staff were safely evacuated without injuries and waited roadside for about an hour before alternative transport arrived. The incident added to a challenging period marked by a demanding travel schedule and delayed flights. GT's Director of Cricket, Vikram Solanki, dismissed fatigue as an excuse for their defeat, acknowledging the opposition's strong performance.
