What a captain hats off.' Many fans agreed with Aly in the comment section, praising Shreyas for his performance. The grand finale of IPL 2025 is today (June 3), between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

IPL 2025 Final RCB vs PBKS Weather, Playing 11 Live Updates: Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings gun for maiden title in Ahmedabad
IPL 2025 Final Match Today, RCB vs PBKS Team Predicted Playing 11, Live Cricket Score Updates: We are guaranteed a new Indian Premier League champion as Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Punjab Kings with both teams gunning for their maiden trophy at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. This will be their 4th meeting this season with RCB coming out on top in 2, including Qualifier 1 and PBKS winning one. Revenge will be on the mind of PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer while RCB skipper Rajat Patidar will look to avoid stumbling at the final hurdle. In Qualifier 1, RCB had defeated PBKS without breaking a sweat as the Kings' batting imploded. RCB made their way into the final while PBKS had to take on Mumbai Indians, the winners of the Eliminator. With Mumbai almost running away with the win on Sunday, captain Iyer stepped up at the most opportune time and blasted an unbeaten 87 to guide Punjab to the final. Virat Kohli might have told AB de Villiers not to say the old RCB slogan 'ee-saala cup namde' (This year, the cup will be ours) according to the South African, but he hasn't been shy of fronting up to the potential triumph. (Sportzpics) Virat Kohli's '18 till I fly' dream takes off as RCB universe conspires to try giving their talisman the elusive IPL trophy Couple of years ago, a bespectacled Virat Kohli unexpectedly opened his heart out to a small gathering of RCB women players. They had had a disastrous season that year, their first, and Kohli didn't just offer vague consultatory words, but dipped into his own experiences, his failures, his insecurities and his long wait for the IPL trophy. 'If we don't win I am not going to go to my grave thinking only if I had won the IPL I would have been a happy man dying; it doesn't happen like that!' he smiled.

'He was blindly pushing …on normal day I win that game': Magnus Carlsen on painful loss to D Gukesh
's shock defeat to 19-year-old Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh in Round 6 of the Norway Chess tournament triggered not only visible frustration from the five-time world champion but also a deep introspection on the direction of his chess career. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Carlsen, 34, lost a game he appeared to be dominating, his emotions spilling over as he banged the table, scattering pieces in disbelief. The Norwegian later admitted Gukesh's fighting spirit and youthful energy had made the difference — even though, by Carlsen's own assessment, it wasn't a game the teenager should have won. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. 'For a long time, he was just more or less blindly pushing,' Carlsen said on Monday. 'And then, yeah, on a normal day, of course, I win that game, and things look quite differently.' The top-ranked Carlsen acknowledged that while Gukesh may not have made the best moves technically, his persistence paid off. 'I remember being that age myself,' said Carlsen. 'Sometimes your energy, fighting qualities, and just optimism are bigger than the quality of your moves.' Gukesh's victory was a testament to his grit, and Carlsen didn't hesitate to praise him. 'He really fights very, very well, and he was there to take his chance, so he deserves credit for that,' he said. 'But that's the kind of chance I really, really have to put away.' The Norwegian star has increasingly expressed doubts about his interest in Classical chess, hinting at a shift toward faster formats like blitz, rapid, or freestyle chess. 'It's not that I cannot play Classical… it's just situations like yesterday, I'm just wondering, like, why am I doing this?' Carlsen admitted. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now IPL 2025 Final, RCB vs Punjab Kings: The wait will finally end in Ahmedabad Following his emotional loss, Carlsen rebounded with a convincing Armageddon win over World No. 2 Hikaru Nakamura after a quick 21-move draw in their classical encounter. 'Winning the Armageddon was kind of the best scenario for me,' Carlsen said. 'I discovered that move… it may have been played before, but I didn't know for sure.' Carlsen also hinted at skipping Norway Chess next year and emphasized the value of enjoying his time off the board — particularly with golf and family. 'I guess there's a lot of pain being a top sportsman,' he concluded.
