RCB’s Triumphant Roar After 18 Years

After facing the Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1, both sides faced again on the big stage of the final match, chasing their maiden IPL glory. Since the beginning, RCB shone even in under pressure. After Phil Salt’s dismissal, Virat Kohli and Mayank Agarwal’s partnership proved to be impactful for the side. After an absolute team effort, RCB put on a total of 190 runs.

Hailing an exceptional bowling attack throughout the season, the RCB bowlers proved their game-changing abilities for the one final time. Despite PBKS batters showing plenty of fight, RCB’s bowlers snatched back the momentum. Krunal Pandya’s game-changing 2/17 spell and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s vital double-strike turned the match. After bundling out the opponent in 184 runs, they sealed the trophy with a 6-run victory.
