RCB Wins IPL 2025 By 6 Runs
PBKS played exceptionally well and restricted RCB at the target of 190 but the RCB bowlers outshined everyone with Krunal Pandya, Yash Dayal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar taking the charge at the right time. The Challengers clinched the title with a narrow margin of 6 runs as Shashank Singh’s efforts were in vain despite hitting Josh Hazlewood for 6,4,6,6 in the last over of the match.
RCB’s Batting Collapse But Bowlers Take Charge
Apart from Virat Kohli’s 43, none of the batters of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru batters could create an impact during the finals. With Mayank Aggarwal (24), Rajat Patidar (25), Liam Livingstone (25), and Jitesh Sharma’s (24) contribution, RCB could reach the total of 190 with a loss of 9 wickets. With the early loss of Phil Salt, Virat Kohli tried to stabilize the innings but eventually lost his wicket to Azmatullah Omarzai.
