The business end of IPL 2025 is here and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are set to lock horns in Qualifier 1 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur on Thursday, May 29.

With both sides winning nine games in the league stage, it has been neck and neck. PBKS topped the table thanks to a better net run rate and RCB were hot on their heels.

Punjab marched into the playoffs on the back of a dominant win over Mumbai Indians. Josh Inglis was on song, smashing 73 in a breezy chase. On the other hand, RCB pulled a rabbit out of the hat by chasing down their highest-ever IPL total against Lucknow Super Giants with stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma turning hero with a match-winning 85.

The wind is behind both teams and this one promises fireworks. Before the action kicks off, here are the big records that are within touching distance in this high-voltage PBKS vs RCB IPL 2025 clash.

1. Phil Salt’s 1000-IPL Run Milestone Within Reach

Phil Salt has been batting like a man on a mission this season. With 984 runs in 32 IPL games at a strike rate north of 170, he has been smoking bowlers for fun. He is just 16 shy of becoming a member of the IPL 1000-run club. One big hit here, a cheeky scoop there and he will be over the line.

2. Mayank Agarwal Closing In On A T20 Landmark

Coming on the back of a crucial knock against LSG, Mayank is knocking on the door of a major T20 milestone. Just 31 runs away from 5000 T20 runs, he could hit the landmark if he gets going tonight. In 213 games, he has struck at 134.29 and has been a steady hand at the top over the years.

3. Virat Kohli On The Cusp Of Six-Hitting History

Virat Kohli is just 5 sixes away from 200 sixes as an opener in T20 cricket. Given the kind of mood he has been in lately, those five might come in a blink. Once he is in, he is like a runaway train, you don’t want to be in the way.

4. Jitesh Sharma Nearing 1000 IPL Runs

Jitesh Sharma’s stock is on the rise, especially after that jaw-dropping 85* in the last game. He is sitting on 967 IPL runs and needs 33 to tick off the 1000-run mark. In 53 matches, he has played fearless cricket with a strike rate of 155+. If RCB are to push PBKS, expect Jitesh to go hammer and tongs again.

5. Shreyas Iyer On The Verge Of Completing 100 T20 Catches

Shreyas Iyer is one catch away from completing 100 T20 catches. He currently has 99 catches in 237 T20s.

6. Shreyas Iyer Closing In On 150 IPL Sixes

Iyer is also just 6 sixes short of 150 sixes in IPL. He currently has 144 maximums in 130 IPL games. If Iyer gets his eye in, the milestone could be attained in no time.

7. Marcus Stoinis Inches Away From 2000 IPL Runs

The Hulk from Down Under has quietly amassed 1992 runs in his IPL career. With a strike rate touching 145, Stoinis doesn’t hang around. Just 8 more and he joins the 2K club. If he walks in during the middle overs, expect fireworks.

8. Priyansh Arya’s Debut Season Just Keeps Giving

Priyansh Arya has been the find of the season for Punjab Kings. With 424 runs in just 14 games, Arya’s strike rate of 183.6 tells you he doesn’t believe in taking it slow. He is just 2 boundaries short of 50 IPL fours. For a debut season, that is some going.

9. Nehal Wadhera’s Quiet Climb To 1000 T20 runs

Flying a bit under the radar, Nehal Wadhera is 28 runs away from hitting 1000 T20 runs. In 50 games, he has clocked six fifties and a strike rate close to 140. Not flashy, but solid. If he gets a chance, this could be his moment under the limelight to complete 1000 runs in T20s.
