Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings Compete in IPL Final Ahmedabad

The IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings promises to deliver a maiden title for one of the teams, both of whom have never won the tournament before. Virat Kohli will be playing in his fourth IPL final and aims to end his nearly two-decade wait for the trophy, marking a significant moment as it will be his last cricket appearance for a while following his recent Test retirement. RCB has been strong throughout the season, supported by key players like Phil Salt, Mayank Agarwal, and Josh Hazlewood, while Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, have demonstrated resilience and tenacity, with Iyer emerging as a promising leader despite being overlooked for India’s red-ball squad. The final is set at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with a reserve day planned in case of rain, although forecasts currently show no weather disruptions. Fans are expected to show strong support, especially for Kohli, whose presence adds emotional weight to the final. Both teams have overcome tough competition to reach this historic showdown, and cricket enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await the outcome.
