RCB beat PBKS by six wickets in historic final

Both sides, PBKS and RCB, went into the final without an IPL title in their cabinet. Batting first in the final, RCB managed to post a total of 190/9 on the board. Virat Kohli (43), Mayank Agarwal (24), Rajat Patidar (26), Liam Livingstone (25), and Jitesh Sharma (24) all made vital contributions.

PBKS got off to a decent start and were on track at the end of the powerplay. However, Bengaluru crawled their way back into the contest with some tight bowling in the powerplay and kept chipping away with wickets at regular intervals.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya bagged two each while Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal, and Romario Shepherd picked up one wicket apiece. They eventually restricted Punjab to 184/7 in what was a complete team effort to clinch their maiden IPL trophy. RCB had previously played three finals but fell short every time.
