New Delhi. One of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings will become IPL champions on Tuesday. Both teams are waiting for the IPL Trophy for the last 18 years. RCB and PBKS have performed brilliantly in the league stage. Both won the same 9-9 matches and entered the playoffs in the first and second number in the point table of the group stage. Everyone’s eyes in the final will remain on Virat Kohli, who despite being associated with RCB from the beginning, have not yet been able to make their team the IPL champion. This will be the fourth final of RCB and Kohli. The final between Punjab and RCB will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium from 7:30 pm.
RCB has done well from the beginning to the end, leaving behind its previous problems. He first defeated Punjab by eight wickets in the qualifier and entered the finals and his team will be committed to repeat this performance. Kohli (614 runs) has done well this time like every year. He was also the main pillar of RCB batting this year. This time he also got good support from other players, which created the main difference. This year Kohli has not been the only player who has focused everyone, but he has quietly strengthened RCB.

Salt and Kohli have given RCB a good start
Filt Salat gave RCB a good start by giving good support of Indian superstar, while Mayank Agarwal, captain Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma are trusted players of batting order. Tim David could not play in the last two matches of RCB due to injury, so it remains to be seen whether he is fit for this match or not. He has played an important role in the death overs with Romario Shepherd.
Hazlewood has taken 21 wickets
Quiet and patient Josh Hazlewood (21 wickets) has contributed significantly to RCB in bowling. He is currently fourth in the list of the highest wicket -takers in the current session of IPL. Despite the crushing defeat of RCB in the first qualifier at their home ground in Mullanpur, the Punjab Kings -led Punjab Kings team performed brilliantly in the second qualifier against Mumbai Indians. He defeated five -time winner Mumbai Indians and entered the final for the first time after 11 years.
Shreyas Iyer has scored 603 runs
Punjab Kings, who lived at the top of the second half of the ten teams points table, have made significant progress under the supervision of captain Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting. Kolkata Knight Riders became champion last year led by Iyer (603 runs). In this way, reaching the IPL final for the second consecutive time, as a leader, says a lot about his abilities who organize their players well like any other in this format. Therefore, it is not surprising that Iyer is the only cricketer in the 18-year history of the tournament, who has led three different teams in the IPL final, with the third team of Delhi Capitals.
Punjab has good batsmen
Punjab Kings have good batsmen to support Iyer as Prabhasimran Singh, Josh England, Priyansh Arya and Shashank Singh, so that he can maintain his position firmly and also make aggressive attacks on the opposition camp. Punjab’s bowling looked a bit weak without Marco Jansan, but keeping Mumbai Indians in the entire innings on batting wicket shows that his attack is not very weak. Yuzvendra Chahal is still struggling with a hand injury and he was not in his best form in the second qualifier, but Punjab would be expecting him to perform well against his former franchise.
