Broadcast and Live Streaming details

After an intense two-month rollercoaster of cricketing drama, the Indian Premier League 2025 will culminate in a blockbuster final on June 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, between two title-hungry franchises, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). Both teams are chasing their maiden IPL title, making this one of the most emotionally charged finals in recent memory.

PBKS takes the hard road with Shreyas Iyer shines in Qualifier 2

Unlike RCB’s smoother path, Punjab had to fight tooth and nail to secure their place in the final. After their crushing loss in Qualifier 1, they faced the daunting challenge of Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2. Mumbai posted a formidable 203/6, but PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer produced a match-winning masterclass, an unbeaten 87 off 47 balls under pressure, to script a memorable chase. This victory was historic on multiple fronts. It marked PBKS’s first successful 200+ chase against Mumbai Indians in IPL history and secured their first IPL final appearance since 2014, ending an 11-year drought. Iyer’s leadership and temperament in high-pressure moments have reinvigorated the Punjab campaign at the perfect time.

RCB enters the final with momentum on their side. They finished second in the league stage with 9 wins from 14 matches and showcased complete dominance in Qualifier 1, where they bundled out PBKS for just 101 runs and chased the target with ease — winning with a massive 60 balls to spare. Rajat Patidar, who took over captaincy responsibilities in the latter half of the season, led the side with calm and clarity, steering them to the grand finale with conviction. What makes this final even more compelling is the head-to-head history between RCB and PBKS. Out of their 36 encounters, each team has won 18 matches making their rivalry one of the most balanced in IPL history. Now, on the grandest stage of them all, one team will finally break free from the shackles of near-misses and heartbreaks.
