RCB and PBKS aim for first title in huge IPL 2025 final

While the IPL final is always a big game, the magnitude is even higher this time, considering the teams playing. RCB and PBKS have never won the title in the history of the league.

RCB have played three finals in 2009, 2011, and 2016, losing on all three occasions and failing to lift the trophy. On the other hand, PBKS have played just one final in 2014, where they lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

One of these two teams will lift their first-ever IPL trophy tonight, while the hunt for a maiden title will continue for the other. RCB beat PBKS in the first qualifier to reach the final, while PBKS beat MI in the second qualifier to seal their spot in the title clash.

An intense battle is expected tonight, as two teams that have never won the title lock horns with each other.
