The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has so far delivered more electrifying T20 cricket. And after proceedings were suspended due to security concerns, fixtures started again on Saturday, May 17. The final has been moved back to Tuesday, June 3 – and we now know who will play in it, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad.

For Virat Kohli and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, this has been an opportunity long in the making. The Indian legend and his franchise have somehow never won this competition. Will it be 18th time lucky for RCB.

Punjab Kings topped the league and managed to overcome a spirited Mumbai Indians side in Qualifier 2. Skipper Shreyas Iyer lifted the trophy with KKR 12 months ago and will be a hero in Mohali if he can deliver the first title in this franchise’s history.
