The game will be broadcasted by JioHotstar.
IPL 2025 final is set to happen in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahemdabad.
TATA IPL 2025 was briefly halted in May 2025, after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India, that is Bharat. The tournament later resumed with the same enthusiasm and has now come to the endgame. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are in the final of IPL 2025, with only one team to lift the trophy for the first time.
Whether you are a fan of RCB or not, the team’s entry into the final has got everyone to the edge of their seats, courtesy of its inseparably crazy fanbase. Plus, there is an ardent aura that Virat Kohli himself carries around him with his on-field presence.
RCB So Far in TATA IPL 2025
Having said that, Royal Challengers Bengaluru deserves a dedicated writeup purely for the level of game they have put up in every match. Led by Rajat Patidar, the team finished the league matches in second position with 19 points, just like PBKS. They lagged only in terms of net run rate, or NRR.
The last five cricket matches for RCB were sufficiently favorable. The team was able to win 3 games and draw one. Thereby, losing just a single game which was against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Other than that, the team has played enjoyable knocks, especially Virat Kohli who can be seen at the 5th position on the list of top scorers. He accumulated a total of 614 runs in 14 matches at an average of 55.81. No other RCB player, or even PBKS player for that matter, features on the list.
RCB has also got Josh Hazlewood in the 4th position as one of the highest wicket-takers. Josh is just behind Trent Boult with 21 wickets at the economy of 8.30 throughout 11 matches. Again, no other RCB player, or even PBKS player for that matter, features on the list.
PBKS So Far in TATA IPL 2025
The journey for Punjab Kings in TATA IPL 2025 was filled with mixed emotions. Even though the team ended league matches at the top, there were times when it seemed that they would be overpowered by the opponent. Praises to Shreyas Iyer, one might quote, for he has remained undeterred in PBKS’s pursuit of the IPL trophy till this moment.
The last five matches for the team saw them lose just one with no draw. Hence, winning the remaining four cricket matches. Canadian rapper Drake has his money on RCB but Iyer’s determination could pour vast litres of cold water on his expectations. However, the fall of the same pillar could also make the team vulnerable as it did in the playoffs.

PBKS could be tired considering they had to play an extra game after losing to RCB in the playoffs. Nevertheless, it is now or never for them, metaphorically, as the fandom heavily comes out in support of RCB. Ee Sala Cup Namde?
PBKS Vs. RCB in TATA IPL 2025
Both teams have faced each other 3 times. RCB was victorious in two games, losing one game possibly because it was cut short to 14 overs. PBKS had to chase 96 runs in 14 overs. The target was brought down with 11 balls remaining. The other two games saw RCB dominate their opponent with the playoffs as a major highlight. In short, RCB has a psychological advantage that Punjab may find hard to pull down.
Bengaluru wrapped up PBKS’s batting order in the 15th over when the team was at 101. The batting line-up chased the target in 10 overs with the loss of just 2 wickets. Virat Kohli was sent out easily but Phil Salt led the game, scoring 56 runs in 27 balls.
Win possibilities are almost equal for RCB and PBKS. A major difference, if any, is probably out of sentiments favoring Khohli and his gang.
