IPL 2025 Final RCB vs PBKS highlights
RCB vs PBKS HIGHLIGHTS: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who were always famed for their batting prowess, finally saw their bowlers deliver when it mattered the most as they defended a 190-run total against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IOPL 2025 final at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium to win their first ever IPL trophy. Before today, RCB had lost the finals on three occasions: in 2009 vs Deccan Chargers, in 2012 vs Chennai Super Kings, and in 2016 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. But they did not repeat the mistake in 2025 and finally won the trophy to become the 8th team to win the IPL trophy.
Earlier, PBKS won the toss and opted to bowl first. RCB’s start was less than ideal as they lost in-form Phil Salt (16) in the second over to Kyle Jamieson. Mayank Agarwal (24) looked in fine touch but lost his wicket to Chahal after failing to execute a slog sweep over backward square leg. Skipper Rajat Patidar (26) also failed to convert his start and lost his wicket to Kyle Jamieson.
Virat Kohli (43) continued to push from one end, but just when he tried to switch gears for some quick runs, he lost his wicket to Azmat Omarzai. Liam Livingstone (25) also failed to get going after getting well set in the middle and lost his wicket to Kyle Jamieson right after hitting a six on the previous ball. Jitesh Sharma (24) followed the trend and lost his wicket to Vijaykumar Vyshak after crossing the 20-run mark.
Arshdeep Singh, in the final over, removed dangerous Romario Shepherd (17), Krunal Pandya (4), and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1) as RCB finished their innings with 190 for 9 on the board.
In reply, PBKS got off to a good start before Josh Hazlewood struck to remove Priyansh Arya (24). His opening partner Prabhsimran Singh (26) stayed for a while but eventually lost his calm and gave away his wicket to Krunal Pandya. Things went from bad to worse for PBKS as they lost Shreyas Iyer (1) cheaply to Romario Shepherd.
Krunal Pandya then got the big wicket of Josh Inglis (39) to put RCB in the driver’s seat in the match. Nehal Wadhera (15) never seemed to get comfortable and lost his wicket to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who then also got Marcus Stoinis (6) two balls later as PBKS found themselves on the cusp of losing the game.
Azmat Omarzai (1) lost his wicket to Yash Dayal. Shashank Singh (50 not out) tried to take PBKS over the line, but they fell 6 short of the target and finished with 184 for 7 as RCB won by 6 runs.

Rajat Patidar, RCB captain: It is really special for me, for Virat Kohli, and all the fans. Those who have supported for years, they all deserve it. After the Qualifier, we thought that we can go through. I think 190 was a good score on this track as it was a bit slow. Bowlers executing their plans was tremendous to watch. Krunal is a wicket-taking bowler, I look for him whenever we need wickets. Suyash and the pacers were good all season. Shepherd gave the key wicket tonight. It's a great opportunity for me and a great learning for me to captain Kohli, he deserves it more than anyone else.

Shreyas Iyer, PBKS captain: Dejected, but the way our came up to the occasion... a lot of credit goes to the management and each and every player. Considering the last game we played here, I felt 200 was par personally. They bowled excellently. Krunal was phenomenal, used his experience, that was the turning point. Proud of each individual in our team, a lot of youngsters played their first season. Their fearlessness was phenomenal. Job is still half done, we have to win it next year. The way we turned up to every game was a positive, they've gained a lot of experience and we can build on that next year.

IPL 2025 FINAL | RCB vs PBKS LIVE UPDATES: Krunal Pandya named man of the match
When we batted, we realised the slower you bowl the better it is. In this format, you need guts to do it. I just backed myself, thought I'll vary my pace and keep it on the slower side more often. My biggest strength has been to learn what the situation requires. I knew I had to be brave to get wickets tonight. Thought I'd do that by bowling slow. If you'd have bowled quick, it'd have been a good wicket. But if you mixed it up it was tougher. Pitch actually got easier in the second innings. Have enjoyed my time with RCB so far, I said on day one I wanted to win. I told Hardik that the Pandya household will have nine trophies in 11 years.

I can't express myself at the moment. I am very happy for Virat bhai. He has waited to 18 years and I can understand what he can feel. When you feel this tournament for someone else, it becomes magical. When you play for yourself, you become a bit subdued. But when playing for someone else, it becomes great.

IPL 2025 FINAL | RCB vs PBKS LIVE UPDATES: RCB is my heart, RCB is my soul, says Kohli
This win is as much for the fans as it is for the team. I've given this team my youth, prime and experience. Tried to win it every season, gave it everything I can. Never thought this day would come, was overcome with emotion after we won. What ABD has done for the franchise is tremendous, told him 'this is as much yours as it is ours'. He's been the POTM most times in the franchise despite being retired for four years. He deserves to be on the podium, lifting the cup. This win is right up there, I've stayed loyal to this team. I had moments otherwise, but I stayed with them and them with me. My heart is with Bangalore, my soul is with Bangalore. This is a high-intensity tournament, I want to win the big tournaments and moments. Tonight, I'll sleep like a baby.
