TATA IPL Season 18 : Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings Final Match 2025 Toss Update

  • Punjab Kings has won the toss and will bowl first for one last time in TATA IPL 2025.

TATA IPL Season 18 : Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings Final Match 2025 Pitch Report

  • The square boundaries are 64 meters on either side, with 72m down the ground. It looks like a belter of a wicket – consistent and really flat. I don't think 200 will be enough on this surface. The key will be bowling back of a length and making good use of the square boundaries. This pitch is made up of 25 percent black soil and 75 percent red soil. Six of the eight games here have been won by the team batting first.

184/7 (Over 20) 0, 0, 6, 4, 6, 6


Royal Challengers Bengaluru Won by 6 Runs (Winners)
  • RCB have etched their name in history.  Unstoppable on the road with eight away victories and delivered the knockout punch in a high-octane final. The stars aligned as Virat Kohli wearing the number 18 claimed his first IPL title in the league’s 18th edition! A landmark triumph.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru scripted history at the Narendra Modi Stadium, clinching their maiden IPL title with a thrilling 6-run victory over Punjab Kings in the TATA IPL 2025 Final. After years of near misses, RCB finally claimed the silverware in front of a packed Ahmedabad crowd.
  • Put into bat first, RCB posted a competitive 190/9. Steady contributions came from Virat Kohli (43 off 35), Liam Livingstone (25 off 15), and a late flourish by Jitesh Sharma (24 off 10). Punjab’s bowlers struck regularly—Arshdeep Singh (3/40) and Kyle Jamieson (3/48) leading the attack—but RCB’s depth ensured a strong finish.
  • In reply, Punjab started positively through Josh Inglis (39 off 23) and Prabhsimran Singh (26 off 22), keeping the required rate in check. The turning point came in the middle overs through a match-defining spell from Krunal Pandya, whose 4-0-17-2 choked the flow of runs and tilted the game in RCB’s favour.
  • Shashank Singh held one end with a composed, unbeaten 61 off 30 balls, keeping Punjab in the hunt deep into the chase. However, tight death bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/38) and Yash Dayal (1/18) ensured RCB held on in the final overs, restricting PBKS to 184/7.
  • With this win, Rajat Patidar’s leadership and a united squad effort delivered RCB their first-ever IPL crown, capping off a memorable campaign that included a record eight away wins and an unforgettable final night in Ahmedabad.

Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain):

  • This is really special for me, for Virat Kohli, and for all the fans who have supported us for years. They truly deserve this. After Qualifier 1, we were quite sure about what we were doing. I think 190 was a good score on this pitch. It was a bit slow, but the way our bowlers executed was impressive. Krunal is a wicket-taking bowler, and whenever I need a wicket, I look for where KP is. Suyash is also similar. For me, it's a great opportunity to captain this team, especially with Virat Kohli playing under me. And for the fans, just one line — EE SALA CUP NAMDU!

Shreyas Iyer (Punjab Kings Captain):

  • Yes, absolutely. I'm dejected to be honest, but the way the boys stepped up to the occasion was commendable. Credit goes to the entire management, support staff, and every individual who contributed to the team. Also, a special thanks to the owners for their constant support.
  • Yes, absolutely. Considering the game we played two nights ago against MI, I felt that 200 was a par score, but they bowled brilliantly. Especially Krunal, with the way he bowled tonight — his experience showed, and he was phenomenal.

Krunal Pandya (Player of the Match):

  • When we batted in the first innings, I was sitting outside in the dugout, observing what worked, and had a chat with the batters. I realized that the slower you bowled, the more assistance you get. If we had bowled quicker on that wicket, it would have been a good batting surface. The key was varying the pace. It became good for batting in the second innings too. I called Hardik Pandya and mentioned that there will be 9 trophies in the Pandya household in 11 years.
