IPL 2025 Final Match Winner: Royal Challengers Bengaluru Finally Lift the Trophy

RCB Wins IPL 2025 After 18-Year Wait: A Historic Triumph

The IPL 2025 Final saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinch their first-ever IPL title, defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) by just 6 runs in a thrilling finale at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. After years of heartbreak, RCB finally broke their 18-year title drought in front of millions of emotional fans.

Opting to bat first after PBKS won the toss, RCB posted 190/9. Virat Kohli played a crucial knock of 43 (35), supported by Rajat Patidar (26 off 16) and Liam Livingstone (25 off 15). PBKS started their chase strongly with Josh Inglis scoring 39 (23) and Shashank Singh leading the fightback with an unbeaten 61 (30). However, RCB’s bowlers held their nerve — Krunal Pandya (2/17) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/38) delivering under pressure — to restrict PBKS to 184/7.

Krunal Pandya was named Player of the Match for his match-winning spell. The emotional high point came when a tearful Virat Kohli, RCB’s long-time icon, celebrated by inviting legends Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers on stage.

RCB’s road to victory included a second-place finish in the league stage and two key wins over PBKS in Qualifier 1 and the Final. Their turnaround was marked by strategic brilliance, including the mid-season inclusion of Krunal Pandya and a revitalized bowling attack.

PBKS, despite topping the league table and reaching the final, fell short once again. Sai Sudharsan (GT) topped the season’s runs chart with 759, while Prasidh Krishna (GT) claimed most wickets (25), and Suryakumar Yadav (MI) was named Most Valuable Player.

RCB’s win isn’t just a championship — it’s a redemption story that will be remembered as one of the most emotional and inspiring chapters in IPL history.
