Royal Challengers Bengaluru ended their quest for maiden IPL glory by beating Punjab Kings by 6 runs in the IPL 2025 Final, and with that, they are now the 8th different side to lift the coveted trophy.
For 17 seasons, the side suffered heartbreaks, and fell short on 3 occasions (2009, 2011, 2016). However, this time around, a spirited RCB side did not let Virat Kohli’s hopes down, as the Indian legend, the iconic number 18 of the Indian cricket finally won his maiden title in his 18th consecutive season for thew franchise.
Krunal Pandya shone with an epic performance, as he bowled 12 dot balls and ended his night with the figures of 2/17 in his four overs spell.
