Krunal Pandya bowled the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to victory against Punjab Kings in an exhilarating IPL 2025 final at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. The all-rounder unfurled the spell of the high-scoring match by conceding just 17 runs off his four overs, all with the added bonus wickets of Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis.

After the match, Krunal playfully mimicked his younger brother Hardik Pandya while celebrating RCB’s historic drought-ending IPL triumph.

Krunal Pandya dazzles in playful photoshoot

RCB all-rounder Krunal Pandya took part in a stirring photoshoot after defeating Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 final. Celebrating RCB’s first-ever title victory, and his fourth after lifting the title thrice with Mumbai Indians, Krunal posed with the trophy in a shrugging gesture, much reminiscent to the trademark celebratory pose of his younger brother Hardik Pandya.

Taking to X, Krunal shared several moments from the photoshoot as he playfully posed with the trophy.

Notably, the classic “I guess we did it” pose with the trophy was popularized by Hardik after Team India lifted the 2024 T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy in the UAE.

In a match that yielded 374 runs from 40 overs at a run rate of 9.35, RCB spinner Krunal Pandya conceded just 17 off his four overs at an economical run rate of 4.25.

He turned the match on its head by grabbing the huge wickets of firebrand Punjab Kings batters Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis.

Playing his first IPL season for the RCB, Krunal Pandya previously lifted the coveted silverware back in 2017, 2019 and 2020, all for the Mumbai Indians franchise.
