RCB end 18-year wait for IPL title, beat Punjab Kings by 6 runs
The Statesman Kolkata
|June 04, 2025
After 70 hard-fought league matches, two qualifiers and an eliminator, the stage was set for a finale 17 years in the making.
Two of the original IPL franchises – Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) – both long haunted by near-misses and heartbreak, stood on the cusp of long-awaited glory.
And in the end, Royal Challengers Bengaluru broke the curse, etched their name into IPL history, and finally lifted the coveted trophy after defeating Punjab Kings by six runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
Going by the perfect batting conditions at the Motera, Punjab Kings might have fancied their chances after restricting RCB for 190/9. However, the weight of the occasion, combined with a disciplined and clinical bowling performance from the Bengaluru outfit, proved too much for Shreyas Iyer's men despite Shashank Singh's fighting 61.
