RCB In Finals of IPL 2025 After 9 years Beating To PBKS

RCB, led by standout performer Rajat Patidar, produced a clinical all-round performance to become the first team to enter the final of this season. The team, which has been chasing its maiden IPL title for years, now finds itself just one win away from making history.

RCB won the toss and opted to bowl first—an early advantage they capitalized on with precision. Their bowling unit dismantled the Punjab Kings’ batting line-up, restricting them to a paltry 101 runs in just 14.1 overs.

Chasing a modest target of 102, RCB wasted no time. The batting side wrapped up the match in just 10 overs, losing only two wickets in the process and showcasing their dominance with both bat and ball.

This marks RCB’s fourth appearance in an IPL final, having previously finished as runners-up in 2009, 2011, and 2016. Their victory today is especially significant, as it ends a nine-year gap since their last finals appearance.

Meanwhile, the Punjab Kings still have a lifeline. They will face the winner of the Eliminator between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 on June 1. The winner of that match will join RCB in the final showdown.

RCB fans across the country are celebrating the team’s resurgence, hoping that 2025 will finally be the year their team lifts the trophy.
