Virat Kohli’s long wait to lay his hands on the IPL trophy finally ended as Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the Indian Premier League for the first time by defeating Punjab Kings in the final on Tuesday (June 03).

PBKS kept losing wickets at regular intervals, with captain Shreyas Iyer being dismissed for just one run. Earlier, RCB posted a score of 190 for nine after PBKS won the toss and opted to bowl first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Virat Kohli was the top scorer for RCB with 43 off 35 balls, while Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson took three wickets each for PBKS.

This was Punjab’s first title clash since 2014, while it was the fourth for RCB. The final was also the second successive for Shreyas Iyer as captain after marshalling Kolkata Knight Riders’ triumph in 2024.

PBKS and RCB had finished at the top two positions respectively after a gruelling 70-match league round.
