In a thrilling clash at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday, Punjab Kings delivered a disciplined bowling performance to restrict Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a below-par total of 190/9 in the IPL 2025 final .

RCB struggled to find rhythm despite an experienced batting lineup. Virat Kohli , the tournament’s leading run-scorer this season, tried to anchor the innings with a composed 43 off 35 balls , while skipper Rajat Patidar showed early intent before being dismissed for 26 off just 16 deliveries .

The real story, however, was Punjab Kings’ bowling attack , which stepped up when it mattered most. Yuzvendra Chahal maintained control with figures of 1/37 from four overs , while Kyle Jamieson impressed with a crucial spell of 3/48 . The Afghan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai also made his mark by picking up the prized wicket of Kohli for 1/35 . But the standout moment came in the final over, bowled by Arshdeep Singh , who unleashed a fiery display to take three wickets , finishing with 3/40 and sealing a dominant team effort.
