RCB vs PBKS – The IPL 2025 Final
That’s Got Everyone Buzzing!Get ready, cricket fans!
The IPL 2025 final is here, and it’s a blockbuster showdown between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) tonight, June 3, 2025, at Ahmedabad’s electrifying Narendra Modi Stadium.
This isn’t just a match—it’s a chance for one of these teams to finally grab the IPL trophy after 17 years of heartbreak. One side will write history, while the other will be left picking up the pieces. Buckle up for a rollercoaster of emotions at 7:30 PM IST!
The Big Story:
The End of the “Holy Trinity” Curse, RCB and PBKS have been IPL originals, but the trophy cabinet has stayed empty. Alongside Delhi Capitals, they’ve been dubbed the “Holy Trinity” of teams that just can’t seem to seal the deal.
Fans have laughed, cried, and memed their way through years of near-misses, turning the nickname into a badge of loyalty. Tonight, that changes. Either RCB or PBKS will lift the IPL crown for the first time, leaving the other to wonder what could’ve been. It’s high stakes, high drama, and pure IPL magic.
Players to Watch: Patidar and Chahal Steal the Spotlight
Rajat Patidar and Virat Kohli (RCB):
RCB’s bold captain has been a firecracker this season. His match-winning six against PBKS in Qualifier 1 was a statement, and his fearless batting has powered RCB to historic wins—like their first victory at CSK’s Chepauk in 17 years and a rare triumph over MI in Mumbai. His stats (286 runs, 23.83 average, 142.28 strike rate) don’t tell the full story of his game-changing vibe. 680 runs for Great Virat Kohli.
On Ahmedabad’s run-friendly pitch, Patidar’s attacking style could light up the final?
Yuzvendra Chahal and S Iyer (PBKS):
The crafty leg-spinner, once an RCB favorite, is now PBKS’s secret weapon. Despite missing Qualifier 1 with a hand injury, Chahal’s been a big-match player, shutting down RR’s chase and nabbing Suryakumar Yadav against MI. He’s already stung RCB this season with a tight 2 for 11 in a rain-hit game. If his hand holds up, Chahal could spin PBKS to glory.
Team Talk: Who’s Playing?RCB: All eyes are on Tim David, who’s been nursing a hamstring injury. If he’s fit, he’ll likely slot back in for Liam Livingstone, adding serious muscle to RCB’s line-up.
Phill Salt, who is an opener, may not be available for his first child birth.
Expect this probable XII:
Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarwal, Rajat Patidar (c), Liam Livingstone/Tim David, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma.
PBKS: After their Qualifier 2 win over MI at the same venue, PBKS are likely sticking with their winning formula. Chahal’s fitness is the only question mark—if he’s not 100%, Harpreet Brar might step up, or they could go with one spinner.
Probable XII: Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Josh Inglis (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Kyle Jamieson, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal/Harpreet Brar.
Why This Final Hits Different
-:For PBKS fans, this season’s been a wild ride. A coach with a vision and a captain hungry to prove himself have turned a team of underdogs into playoff heroes after 11 long years.
New faces like Priyansh Arya and Shashank Singh have brought fresh energy, making PBKS a feel-good story. A loss would hurt, but this campaign has given fans hope for the future.For RCB, it’s personal.
Another final loss—their fourth—would sting, especially for Virat Kohli. The man with 18 on his back has been a run-machine again, racking up his eighth 500+ run IPL season. After T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy highs, plus a bittersweet Test retirement, Kohli deserves that IPL crown.
RCB’s balanced squad, with its mix of star power and depth, feels like their best shot yet.What’s at Stake?This final is more than a game—it’s about legacy, redemption, and breaking a 17-year jinx.
Ahmedabad’s batting paradise sets the stage for a run-fest, with heavyweights like Kohli, Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, and Chahal ready to shine. One team will dance in victory; the other will face the pain of coming so close yet so far.
