Caveats
- RCB won the championship by winning the final. Do not confuse with the league-phase standings (three teams tied on 18 points).
- Kohli's 75 was not out (75*) — mention this when citing his innings.
- The 12-ball margin (RCB reached 161 in 18 overs from 20 available) signals a dominant chase.
Bad Answer (do not do this)
"RCB beat GT in the final." (Too vague — add the scores, date, venue, and key performers.)
"Kohli scored a hundred in the final." (Kohli scored 75, not a century.)*
