RCB clinch maiden IPL crown with incredible win against PBKS

Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally broke their Indian Premier League (IPL) title drought, securing their maiden title after eighteen long years. They won the coveted title after defeating Punjab Kings by 6 runs in a high-stakes final in Ahmedabad on Tuesday that saw PBKS crumble under pressure during their chase of a competitive 191-run target.
RCB, put to bat, posted a solid total of 190/9 in 20 overs after ever-reliable Virat Kohli hammered a composed 43 to anchor the innings. The middle-order contributions from skipper Rajat Patidar and Liam Livingstone, scoring 26 and 25, respectively, propelled RCB to a total that eventually proved to be an uphill task for PBKS.
Meanwhile, chasing the total, PBKS had a nice start with openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh scoring 24 and 26, respectively. But their middle order failed to capitalise, with RCB bowlers maintaining tight lines. Krunal Pandya played a massive part in RCB’s win, returning with 2-17 from his four overs, bowling 12 dot balls. Despite a brief fightback from Josh Inglis, who top-scored with 39, Punjab managed only 184/7 in 20 overs — falling 6 runs short of glory.
