Fans of both teams are praying for their respective teams. Somewhere Virat Kohli's aarti is being performed and somewhere his photo is kept in the temple and prayers are being prayed to God for the victory of the team. These videos are going viral on social media, a meme of Shreyas Iyer is also going viral.
PBKS vs RCB Matches Update:
The final match of Indian Premier League is being played between Punjab Kings and RCB. In this match, the Punjab team has won the toss and invited RCB to bat first.
Both the teams have entered this grand competition without any changes. Before this match, Ahmedabad was disturbed by rain for a while, but it was a relief that the rain stopped after a while and then the sun came out.
This season we will get a new champion. Both the teams have never won the title in this tournament which started in 2008. The RCB team will go out to bat first.
Know the record of this pitch:
The pitch of this ground has been helpful for the batsmen this season. The average first innings score here is 219 runs. In the 16 innings played here this season, teams have scored 200 or more 11 times. That means 200 plus score will be made easily here. Although teams batting first have won 6 out of 8 matches this year, Punjab Kings' victory in Qualifier-2 on Sunday saw them chase down the target. In such a situation, the team doing the run chase has also become hopeful.
Having played here twice this season, PBKS has a heavy burden on RCB. RCB's last match at the Narendra Modi Stadium was in 2024, making the circumstances difficult to understand. Among bowlers, spinners have been slightly more effective than fast bowlers. The fast bowlers have taken 65 wickets at an average of 35 and an economy rate of 10. At the same time, the spinners have taken 29 wickets at an average of 31 and an economy rate of less than 10.
Will the 18 year wait end?
18 years, that is the journey of a generation, so many dreams, hopes and broken trusts... but right now these dreams, hopes and trusts are associated with IPL teams 2 Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Both teams tried to win the title many times, many times victory reached the doorstep, but every time something happened that both teams had to face disappointment. Now once again history is on the verge of repeating itself. The special thing is that whether RCB or PBKS wins on Tuesday (June 3), this will be the first IPL title for both the teams.
This time Rajat Patidar is captaining RCB, this time Shreyas Iyer is leading Punjab. But the real test in the final to be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will be of Virat Kohli, who will try to win this title for the first time.
Panjab Kings:
For Punjab Kings, Marcus Stoinis scored the highest 26 runs in 17 balls. Punjab's batting was a complete flop in this match. The situation was such that only three batsmen could touch the double-digit mark. Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma got the maximum 3-3 successes from the opposition team. In response, RCB won the match in just 10 overs. Philip Salt played an unbeaten innings of 56 runs in 27 balls for the team.
Even though the Punjab team had lost the Qualifier-1 match to RCB, it defeated Mumbai Indians by five wickets in Qualifier-2. In such a situation, it cannot be underestimated. In Qualifier-2, Mumbai Indians scored 203 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. In response, Punjab Kings won with one over to spare. For Punjab, captain Shreyas Iyer scored an unbeaten 87 runs in 41 balls, which included 8 sixes and 5 fours.
Royal Challenge Bengaluru:
RCB bowlers performed brilliantly in this match against Punjab in Mullanpur and bowled out the entire Punjab team for just 101 runs. However, even after this, the final against Shreyas Iyer will not be easy for RCB. This match to be held at Narendra Modi Stadium is going to be high-scoring. In the match, fast bowler Hazelwood will play the most important role by leading the bowling attack for the RCB team. Yash Dayal is at number two, while in terms of spin, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma will have to shoulder the responsibility.
RCB expects a big innings from Virat.
As far as batting is concerned, the team will once again expect a strong start from the opening pair of Kohli and Phil Salt. If the top order fails, captain Rajat, who did not bat much in the last match after returning from injury, will also be relied upon. Apart from him, the rest of the batting order has performed well in the current season, due to which the team will expect similar performance from them.
Virat Kohli: The ultimate dream?
614 runs, Kohli's performance this season has been spectacular. Despite playing three IPL finals, he has not won the title yet. At the international level, Kohli has almost every trophy - 50-over World Cup, T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy. But the glittering trophy of IPL is still not in his cabinet. Tonight can be a 'career-closer' for this great player.
Shreyas Iyer: On the way to another title?
603 runs and 39 sixes this season - the most explosive performance among captains in IPL 2025. Iyer has scored 242 runs in three innings this season on the Ahmedabad pitch, which includes stormy innings of 97*, 87 and 58 runs. His strike rate is 226.16 - it shows that he not only stays, but also gives aggressive momentum to the team.
Probable playing XI of both the teams.
Royal Challenge Bengaluru:
Rajat Patidar (captain), Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Mayank Agarwal, Liam Livingstone/Tim David, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood.
