    IPL 2025: Clash Of Titans As RCB, PBKS Eye Maiden Title To End Long Trophy Drought

    By IANS News June 02, 2025 • 16:54 PM View: 1513
    Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After 70 league games and three knockout matches, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is set to get its new winner as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) have weathered all storms to set up a title clash at Narendra Modi Stadium here on Wednesday.

    In a battle of titans, the Rajat Patidar-led RCB will hold an advantage over their opponents as they thrashed them by eight wickets in Qualifier 1 in Mullanpur in New Chandigarh to seal the direct entry to the final. However, Punjab had their way of bouncing back from the setback against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, courtesy of Shreyas Iyer's blistering 87 not out to keep their dream of winning a maiden title alive.

    On paper, both teams are equally poised in batting and bowling. Punjab boasts a top-heavy batting line-up with the likes of uncapped duo Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh supported by experienced campaigners Josh Inglis, Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh and Marcus Stoinis. On the other hand, RCB banked on the seasoned opening pair of Virat Kohli and Phil Salt, backed by a strong line-up of batters including captain Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, and Krunal Pandya.
