Bobby Deol on 'heartbreak' of being replaced in 'Jab We Met' made him better

Ahead of the release of Anurag Kashyap’s gritty thriller 'Bandar' on June 5, 2026, Bobby Deol made a candid appearance on 'Aap Ki Adalat', revisiting one of the most painful chapters of his career: being replaced in the 2007 romantic classic 'Jab We Met.' The actor revealed that he originally discovered director Imtiaz Ali's talent, brought Kareena Kapoor on board, and pitched the project to a production house, only to be dropped for Shahid Kapoor when his market value dipped. Reflecting on the betrayal almost two decades later, Bobby explained how he channeled his "hurt and anger" into fuel for his massive career resurgence including hits like 'Aashram', 'Animal', and his upcoming role as the tormented pop star Samar Mehra in 'Bandar.'

Will Ahmedabad Be A Nightmare For RCB? Here's Why GT Might Steal Title Tonight

The final map of the tournament narrows down to the two best teams. Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru chase successive titles tonight, but a formidable Gujarat Titans line-up holds a massive home-ground advantage at the Narendra Modi Stadium, ready to snatch the domestic crown. The Historical Edge This final is the twelfth time in twenty tournament seasons where the top two league sides face each other for the trophy. Statistics show the top-placed side won the title on six of the previous ten occasions. Bengaluru hold a tiny advantage on paper ahead of this evening. The team from Karnataka maintain a tight five-to-four lead over their opponents in overall head-to-head records across tournament history. Rest Versus Travel Both franchises took one win each during the regular league stage this season. However, Bengaluru won the game that mattered most, going two-one up in the 2026 rivalry by securing Qualifier 1. That specific victory gave the champions a direct route to the final and some valuable resting time. Gujarat had to pack their bags for Chandigarh and survive a high-pressure knockout match in Qualifier 2. GT's Local Fortress  Despite a heavy schedule, the Titans feel very confident playing on their own patch in Ahmedabad. Their lone victory against the current holders this year happened at this exact venue. The ground remains a regular point of strength for the home squad. Gujarat walk into this final on the back of four consecutive victories in front of their local crowd. Powerplay Numbers Of GT Gujarat relied heavily on Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj to do the early damage with the new ball. This specialist opening bowling pair carries an impressive collective strike rate of sixteen in the powerplay. Those performance metrics get even better in Ahmedabad conditions, where they strike once every thirteen balls. They keep things remarkably quiet at home, giving away just 8.72 runs per over. Bengaluru completely tore that script apart during Qualifier 1 in Dharamshala, racking up seventy-six runs in the first six overs. That remains the second-highest powerplay score hit against Gujarat this summer. Gujarat Disrupting Lengths The Titans look for early breakthroughs by bowling disciplined, hard lengths just outside the off stump. The Bengaluru openers broke that rhythm by repeatedly moving around the batting crease to change the pitch lengths. This early batting attack forced Gujarat captain Shubman Gill to throw away his original bowling blueprint. Gill had to bring West Indian seam bowler Jason Holder into the powerplay much earlier than planned. Middle Over Squeeze Away from the opening bowlers, Gujarat have plenty of backup options to restrict scoring through the middle overs. Prasidh Krishna and Jason Holder have taken thirteen wickets each between overs seven and sixteen. Holder proved the tighter option, keeping a very disciplined seasonal economy rate of 7.63. The tall bowler relies on well-targeted short balls, which earned him seven wickets this year. Holder Holds The Key To Virat's Wicket While television promos focus on Virat Kohli against Kagiso Rabada, the veteran Indian batter has found Holder much harder to handle. The Caribbean seamer dismissed Kohli twice this season with short deliveries. This tactical battle looks intriguing because Kohli altered his game to face short bowling with higher intent this year. He scores at a strike rate of 156 against short balls despite getting out four times.

IPL 2026 Final: Is There A Reserve Day For RCB vs GT Title Clash? All You Need To Know

IPL 2026 Final Reserve Day: The stage is set for a blockbuster IPL 2026 final as Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans prepare to battle for the coveted trophy at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Having occupied the top two spots in the league standings, both teams have enjoyed outstanding campaigns and arrive at the summit clash with momentum on their side. With some of the biggest names in T20 cricket expected to feature, fans are eagerly anticipating a thrilling finale. However, weather remains a talking point ahead of the contest, with supporters keen to know what happens if rain interrupts the championship decider. Does the IPL 2026 Final Have a Reserve Day? While the league-stage matches and Playoff fixtures did not have a reserve day, the IPL final comes with a dedicated reserve day to ensure the tournament has the best possible chance of producing a winner on the field. If adverse weather or any other unforeseen circumstances prevent the match from being completed on Sunday, the action will move to Monday, June 1. Also Check: Not Rohit Sharma! This MI Star Emerges As Frontrunner To Replace Hardik Pandya Importantly, the game will not restart from the beginning. Instead, play will continue from the exact stage at which it was suspended, with the score, wickets lost and overs remaining carrying over to the reserve day. Fortunately for players and supporters alike, the weather forecast currently appears favourable. According to AccuWeather, Ahmedabad has only a 1-3% chance of precipitation (rain) throughout May 31. What If the Match Cannot Be Completed at All? While the chances are slim, in a case where the weather prevents the completion of the final on both the scheduled and reserve days, RCB would be crowned IPL 2026 winners. This is because they finished higher than GT in the league-stage standings. For now, though, all eyes remain on Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium as two of IPL 2026's most consistent teams prepare to fight for glory, with weather forecasts suggesting fans can look forward to an uninterrupted title showdown.

RCB vs GT IPL 2026 Final: Key Battles That Could Decide The High-Stakes Title Clash

IPL 2026 Final Key Battles: Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans, the two standout teams of the season, are set to lock horns in a blockbuster title clash after finishing first and second respectively in the league standings. The final presents contrasting ambitions for the two sides. Bengaluru, led by Rajat Patidar, will be aiming to successfully defend the championship they won last season. Shubman Gill's Gujarat, meanwhile, have their sights set on reclaiming the IPL crown and adding a second title. With several world-class players set to take centre stage, individual contests could prove decisive in determining who lifts the trophy. Here are three key battles that could shape the outcome of the IPL 2026 final. RCB vs GT: IPL 2026 Final Key Battles 1) Virat Kohli vs Jason Holder Few players command attention in a big match quite like Virat Kohli. The veteran batsman has been one of RCB's most influential performers and will once again carry significant responsibility at the top of the order. Standing in his way is GT all-rounder Jason Holder, who has enjoyed notable success this season, and even against the former India captain. Holder has dismissed Kohli four times in their meetings, including during the Qualifier 1 clash earlier in the playoffs. 2) Shubman Gill Faces vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar GT skipper Shubman Gill enters the final in sensational form. The opener has consistently provided strong starts and showcased his class in Qualifier 2, where he struck a century while helping his side chase down a daunting target of 215 against Rajasthan Royals. However, Gill's toughest challenge may come in the opening overs against Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The experienced pacer has been a reliable wicket-taking option with the new ball throughout the season and boasts an impressive record against the GT captain. Bhuvneshwar has dismissed Gill six times, making this one of the most intriguing contests to watch. 3) Jos Buttler vs Josh Hazlewood Another battle capable of swinging the final revolves around GT star Jos Buttler and RCB fast bowler Josh Hazlewood. The two have shared several memorable encounters across international and franchise T20 cricket. Hazlewood has dismissed Buttler six times, underlining the intensity of their rivalry. Their most recent duel came in Qualifier 1, where Buttler initially gained the upper hand. While chasing 255, the England batsman launched an aggressive assault, but the Aussie had the final say as he castled Buttler moments later. With the IPL trophy on the line, these individual battles could ultimately prove just as important as the broader team strategies. If either side is to emerge victorious, winning these crucial head-to-head contests may be the key to glory.

Why Josh Hazlewood's perfect record in T20 could boost RCB against GT

Royal Challengers Bengaluru eyes back-to-back IPL titles, banking on Josh Hazlewood's incredible T20 finals record. The Australian pacer boasts a perfect five-from-five record in title deciders, consistently delivering crucial wickets and performances under immense pressure. Despite a mixed IPL 2026 season, Hazlewood remains RCB's key weapon against Gujarat Titans.
