CCL 2026 Awards Ceremony: Full List of Award Winners, Top Players of Celebrity Cricket League

Karnataka Bulldozers ended a 12-year drought by capturing their third Celebrity Cricket League crown, thrashing Bengal Tigers by six wickets in the CCL 2026 final on Sunday in Coimbatore.

Led by Kiccha Sudeep, the Bulldozers delivered a commanding performance, while Bengal suffered their first defeat of the season despite a strong run.

Bengal's Batting Collapses After Bold Toss Choice

Bengal Tigers skipper Jisshu Sengupta called correctly at the toss and opted to bat first in the evening fixture-a decision that backfired quickly. Early blows saw Uday and Jammy dismissed, leaving Bengal reeling. Joy and Jisshu steadied the ship briefly, but Jisshu's unlucky run-out shifted momentum. Joy's gritty half-century offered hope, yet his exit triggered a dramatic collapse: Bengal slumped from 94/3 to 99/8,

shedding five wickets for just five runs. Late fireworks from Indrasish and Ananda pushed them to 129 all out.

Bulldozers' Chase Lit Up by Rajeev Hanu's Fireworks

Karnataka stumbled in the first over, losing Nirup, but Rajeev Hanu turned the tide with a match-winning blitz. The opener shredded Bengal's attack, racing to a 23-ball fifty and propelling the Bulldozers to 58/1 by the powerplay's end. Hanu fell after a explosive 69 off 35 balls, setting the platform perfectly. A mid-innings wobble followed as Ratnadeep snared three wickets, sparking brief Bengal hopes. But Karthik (15*) and Manjunath (20*) navigated home calmly, sealing the six-wicket triumph and the title.
