The final match of IPL 2025 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings (RCB vs PBKS IPL Final). This final show between the two teams will be played on June 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Win in this match, no matter what team gets, history is sure to be made. Whoever wins the team will take the IPL Trophy for the first time. In this way, let us know about the 5 superstars included in both the teams who can change the attitude of the match on their own in the title match.
The current season of IPL for Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer has been excellent. He is leading the team from the front. Shreyas is just a win away from creating history. Earlier, Shreyas has made Kolkata Knight Riders the champion last year. He is one step away from winning the back to back final under his captaincy. If Ayyar was successful in getting Punjab the trophy, he will become the first captain to make 2 different teams champions under his captaincy. This will be an achievement about which many captains can only dream.
Shreyas Iyer is in excellent form. He has brought his white-ball game to a completely new level this season. He has scored 603 runs in this IPL at an average of 54.82 and a great strike rate of 175.80 (his best). Even Yograj Singh says that Iyer can give the title to Punjab Kings. Shreyas took the team to the final by winning the team on his own against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2.
Virat Kohli will be focused on Virat Kohli in RCB vs Punjab Kings final. Kohli will enter the IPL final for the fourth time. There is a shortage of IPL trophy in the cabinet of his trophy. He has been playing for RCB since 2008 and has also captained but RCB has not won any IPL trophy so far. Virat can make his team champion in the 18th season of IPL.
Virat Kohli has once again dominated the list of batsmen who scored the most runs by scoring 614 runs in the current season of IPL. His average (55.82) this season is the third best among the players who scored at least 200 runs after Suryakumar Yadav and Jose Butler. There is no need to tell that Kohli has scored 8 half -centuries this season, which is the record of the highest in any IPL season. All the fans of RCB and even captain Rajat Patidar want these players to win the IPL Trophy finally this time.
Josh Hazlewood is the most important player for RCB. Who has taken 21 wickets this season. He needs to take five wickets to take a purple cap from the famous Krishna. This is not a big deal for Hazlewood. He can wreak havoc with his bowling in the final. It will not be surprising if this happens.
Hazlewood has a great record against Punjab Kings. He has taken 6 wickets in just three matches this season. And Josh England and Shreyas Iyer have been dismissed twice. In particular, his T20 record against Iyer is excellent, he gave just 11 runs in 22 balls and took 4 wickets. Hazelwood has created an average of 15.81. Which is best for any player in the league. His extraordinary bowling average of 11.43 is also amazing.
Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has not been able to perform well for Punjab Kings since the start of IPL this season. He made a bang of the season. Shreyas was actually a great bowler for Iyer. However, his bowling average, which was incredible 18.18 in the first 10 innings. Now it has reached 93.50. Therefore, in this important final, there will be a need to monitor his rhythm and form.
His record against Phil Salt (4 wickets in 38 balls) in T20 is excellent. On which Punjab Kings can trust. Arshdeep has not got wickets in 4 of the last 5 matches. His record against RCB (8 wickets in 10) and on this ground (3 wickets in 4 matches) is also worrisome.
Josh Iglis has been one of the least spent players for Punjab Kings this season. The decision to keep them at number three has done wonders. Being an all-out attachment, England have been an ex-factor for Punjab Kings. In fact, this Australian player is in great form. In his last five innings, Englandis have scored 177 runs (second most for Punjab Kings) at a great strike rate of 184.37.
His high-impact inning came against Mumbai Indians when he scored 73 runs off 42 balls and 38 runs off 21 balls. On the basis of his brilliant innings, Punjab confirmed his berth in qualifier 1. At the same time, Punjab made it to the finals with his second impact inning. In Qualifier 2, Englandis did something that no batsman has done in IPL 2025. He beat Jaspreet Bumrah fiercely.
