Ahead of Tuesday's highly anticipated IPL 2025 final at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh predicts the Punjab Kings (PBKS) will finally end their title drought. He foresees them defeating the equally trophy-hungry Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the summit clash.

Yograj Singh Predicts Punjab Kings To Win IPL 2025

Yograj identifies Virat Kohli, RCB's star batter enjoying another stellar season, as Punjab's primary threat. Despite Kohli's potential to dominate, Yograj believes PBKS holds the edge.

"If Punjab doesn't get Virat out, then they are in trouble. If he doesn't get out, then he can chase 250 or 300. I believe Punjab can win. The game is done if Virat doesn't get out in the first 10 overs. My senses say Punjab will win," Yograj stated.

Yograj Praises Shreyas' Captaincy

While Kohli, the backbone of RCB for years, seeks his first IPL title after three previous final losses (2009, 2011, 2016), Yograj heaped praise on the Punjab captaincy as quoted by CricTracker. He highlighted skipper Shreyas Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting for transforming PBKS, guiding them to their first final in 11 years. Iyer's leadership and powerful batting have been instrumental.

"Punjab has a wonderful captain. He is an amazing player. The game will be between Punjab's captain and Virat Kohli. If RCB has Virat, Punjab has Shreyas Iyer. Punjab should win. If Virat can win RCB a game from any position, Shreyas can do it as well," Yograj added, drawing a direct comparison between the two match-winners.

The final promises high stakes. RCB secured their spot by convincingly defeating Punjab in Qualifier 1. However, PBKS demonstrated resilience, bouncing back with a thrilling Qualifier 2 victory over Mumbai Indians, powered significantly by Shreyas Iyer's crucial innings. Hence, both teams now stand on the brink of history as India await its 18th IPL champion.
