It all comes down to the IPL 2025 final. Both Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been waiting for 17 years to lift the IPL trophy. Now, both traditional underachievers have a chance to win their maiden IPL title in Ahmedabad on June 3. While no PBKS players have played a final for them, Virat Kohli has been there to witness three finals, losing each of them in 2009, 2011 and 2016.
Kohli has lost two finals as the RCB captain, and now, as a player, he has a chance to amend it. While he hasn’t played in Ahmedabad in IPL 2025, Kohli still has a decent record that will be crucial for RCB. Kohli is the backbone of RCB’s batting, and to win the final at last, his batting will be important. Kohli has already scored 618 runs this season.
