Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings Highlights, IPL 2025 Final: RCB finally managed to win an IPL title in their fourth appearance in the final.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 6 runs in the final to clinch their first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) title. The Rajat Patidar-led side, that has cricketing icon Virat Kohli, ended its 18-year long wait for a maiden IPL trophy. Opting to bowl first, PBKS restricted RCB to 190 for 9, with Arshdeep Singh (3 for 40) and Kyle Jamieson (3 for 48) being the major contributors. Virat Kohli was top-scorer for RCB with 43 off 35. RCB never got going in the innings and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. In reply, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2 for 38) and Krunal Pandya (2 for 17) bowled magical spells to stop PBKS at 184 for 7 in 20 overs.
This is gold. Virat Kohli is being interviewed alongside AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle. Kohli points out that the phrase is now ‘Ee Saala Cup Namdu’. Hugs and laughter among the holy trinity of RCB. Incredible scenes.
One year after the women did it, the men have done it too. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, arguably the most popular franchise, can finally go back and look at the IPL trophy in their cabinet. A long, long wait, but now, an emotional release.
‘Ee Saala Cup Namde’ finally becomes ‘Ee Saala Cup Namdu’.
