Royal Challengers end long wait for maiden title
Royal Challengers Bengaluru is no longer the bridesmaid. From being a three-time runner-up, RCB finally scaled the peak to lay claim on the IPL trophy. Seventeen editions of yearning and heartbreak turned into unadulterated joy for the massive fanbase as RCB shut out Punjab Kings by six runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Tuesday. Virat Kohli, the owner of a dazzling array of titles and milestones, added the one highlight missing in the list. Rajat Patidar, in his first season as RCB captain, achieved what many of his exalted predecessors — Kohli, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, to name a few — could not attain. IPL 2025: RCB brings trophy home after 18 years, beats PBKS in finals In front of a packed house, filled predominantly by RCB supporters, the franchise choked a nervy PBKS. RCB seemed to have dropped the ball by making 190 for nine, but more than made up for it with an excellent bowling performance. Victory celebrations started early, when the in-form PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer nicked an innocuous ball outside off stump from medium-pacer Romario Shepherd. Shreyas, the mastermind behind PBKS' successful chase against Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2, left the field for one. And with him went PBKS' own hopes of winning a maiden IPL title. Shepherd may have picked up the big wicket of Shreyas, but it was Krunal Pandya who set it up. Coming into the attack in the seventh over, the left-arm spinner tied the batters in knots by keeping an exceptional length. The 34-year-old conceded just 17 runs in his four overs, to go with the wickets of Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis. Shashank Singh (61 n.o., 30b, 3x4, 6x6) hung around in an attempt to spoil the RCB party, to no avail. Shreyas called it right at the toss, and like he did against MI, chose to field first. Spells of rain a few hours before the start of the outing made the pitch wet, which led to the RCB batters taking a circumspect approach. Save for a cameo from Phil Salt, the RCB top order stayed cautious. Kohli (43, 35b, 3x4) took up the anchor role, keeping the ball along the ground and running quick singles and twos. This did increase the pressure on his partners, who were forced to adopt aggressive tactics. With the run rate dropping below nine an over, RCB needed Jitesh Sharma to go all guns blazing. Jitesh was up for it with a 10-ball 24. PBKS would have felt it did well to restrict RCB to below 200, but there would be no stopping RCB from making history.

Project Punjab isn't a failure, but it needs a few tweaks after IPL 2025 heartbreak
When Ricky Ponting took over as the coach of Punjab Kings, one of the things that stood out from his first few words after taking the role was simple. He uttered two words that was ringing across all platforms and pundits. That was 'Project Punjab.'Now, we have seen many teams implement projects with a long-term planning. And to be honest, Punjab weren't a side that used to do it in the previous years. They have had a total of 17 captains in 18 seasons, including Shreyas Iyer and many coaches have also come and gone. But for the first time, you can sense that Punjab are on to something invested money in a big squad with world-class talent, none more than their skipper Shreyas. The man who was bought for a whopping 26.75 Crores repaid it with his batting, captaincy and intent. The backing of young talent by the franchise and Ponting was a treat to watch. However, in the end, the IPL 2025 title wasn't theirs. But that doesn't mean that Project Punjab is a failure. But they need to make some small tweaks to a team that came close to being pressure in the middleWhen you look at where Punjab lost the IPL 2025 final to RCB, it all comes down to how the batters failed to gain momentum after the wickets of Shreyas and Josh Inglis. And that has been something that has happened multiple times. Virender Sehwag, in his analysis on Cricbuzz, said that Punjab need to learn how to handle that pressure of wickets falling and they failed to do it in the like 24, 26, 39, 15 everyone got a start, but no one converted it. Had someone carried it to 60–70 runs, they would've won the match. What Shashank did later—if he had done that earlier, then that slowdown phase in the middle wouldn't have happened. If he had remained not out and someone else was batting from the other end, runs would've kept coming, and there would've been no pressure.""The pressure comes when wickets fall. That's the biggest pressure. Then your hands start shaking—'What if I go for a shot and get out?' That's why they couldn't go for it. Like Nihal Wadhera made 15 runs off 18 balls—if he had scored 26 off those same 18 balls, Punjab would've won the match right there. That's the pressure of a final—the pressure of losing wickets. Under that pressure, those who play well shine, and those who don't, stay where they are.""This was probably their first final; they didn't have that experience. It was the first time they were in such a situation. Reaching this stage in a league game under pressure is one thing, but facing that situation in a final is entirely different. I think that's what was lacking. Even if one of the top three batters had stayed and played deep, I would still say the start wasn't bad," said this is an area they will have to focus on. While they have some big-hitters, someone with flexibility and the skill to get a 400-run season could be what Punjab will need next a bowling leaderApart from Arshdeep Singh, who had 21 wickets, there were no other PBKS bowlers who were in the top 10. This is an issue when you are looking to win the title. Even for Arshdeep, he is still learning the trade and gaining experience when it comes to leading an attack in the Chahal also had a hot and cold season and Punjab lacked a leader, especially once Marco Jansen left for international duty. They will need a pacer or a spinner to come in, who can elevate the bowlers around him and let them go about with their business of taking Hazlewood did that expertly with RCB, as he allowed the rest to reap the rewards of the pressure he created. So, someone of the same mould is what PBKS will needadvertisementAvoiding the second-season syndromeLike players, teams also face the second-season syndrome in the IPL. KKR and SRH were finalist last year and in 2025, they were nowhere close to being in the playoffs. Punjab also knows this well as they went on a dry run of 11 years after reaching the final in this, Punjab need to avoid the fault of staying stagnant and not evolving. They introduced a high-intent approach this season, but it will need some tempering and improvement the next time they come in for the a bit more maturity from their uncapped openers and the middle order could help them going forward. Keeping this in mind, certainly Project Punjab is off to a fine start. Now the thing is all about consistency and being a regular in the playoffs and Shreyas said after the game, the aim is to get the trophy next season. For that to happen, Punjab will need to improve their side, with a few small updated on IPL 2025 with India Today!

‘Sarpanch' Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting's magic act took Punjab Kings to the brink of history; and good things in store ahead
Punjab Kings' march to their first IPL final in more than a decade saw multiple contributors along the way, but at the heart of it was a simple driving force: make two determined, confident individuals who feel like they have a point to prove, to work together, and the results follow. Having been one of the most successful captains in the history of the sport, as someone who hated to lose, Ricky Ponting left Delhi Capitals with a mission unfulfilled. Having worked with Ponting at Delhi Capitals to take the franchise into playoffs, and even to a final, Shreyas Iyer moved to Kolkata Knight Riders where he led the side to the title last year. But ahead of the mega auction, KKR chose not to retain their championship-winning captain. They made a token attempt to bring back, but dropped the paddle after Rs 10 crore. DC and PBKS went at it, and Ponting's table was full of smiles as they got their man for Rs 26.75 crore. And on that day in Saudi Arabia, the Shreyas-Ponting partnership restarted, culminating in the final in Ahmedabad. In the end though, just as it happened with DC, the combo fell at the final hurdle as RCB's long wait came to an end. It is, however, imperative to recognise the work that the former Aussie captain and one of India's potential leaders in the future work towards a common goal with a clear vision from the outset. The title didn't arrive, but for once, Punjab don't have to look ahead to the future with uncertainty. The next mini auction will actually feel that way for a change… just a mini repair job to be done as the foundation has been laid for this cycle. And that has been possible because Ponting arrived at the franchise with a clear mandate, a near clean slate and a chance to build from the bottom up. The first piece of the puzzle was Shreyas. 'I'm the head coach and responsible for wins and losses, but once the game starts, the team is handed over to the captain. The coach can do very little once the game starts. It was pretty clear with what we did at the auction by bringing Shreyas to this franchise, it was clear to me and the owners that we wanted the best possible Indian captain. We got our man. He's been terrific around the group,' Ponting had told The Indian Express during an Idea Exchange interaction early in the IPL 2025 season. At every step of the way, the coach and captain have spoken about their working relationship. It's been a case of constant give-and-take. Shreyas had no hesitation in admitting that Ponting takes care of the tactical planning and he is happy to be the guy who executes them on the field. On the flip side, Ponting has credited Shreyas with making key decisions based on his gut feel too, it's not been a case of just spoon-feeding him. It was evident early in the season in Ahmedabad against Gujarat Titans, when PBKS had to make a late decision on Impact Sub. 'They need 13-14 runs an over. Sent the message out to Shreyas, asking what do you want to do? He said straight away, just get Vyshak (Vijaykumar) out there. He'll nail a couple of overs of yorkers.' Vyshak did, kept Sherfane Rutherford quiet, and PBKS closed out a tight match. Another big call later in the tournament was to promote Josh Inglis up the batting order, taking Shreyas' place at No 3. Ponting said that too was Shreyas' call in case an early wicket fell. 'I enjoy playing a bit of a role with him as we work really well together,' Ponting told ICC Review before the playoffs. 'We talk a lot together about the game and tactics and, I think he said last night 'that I leave it to Ricky to look after the tactical stuff and pick the players, and then he hands it over to me and I go and execute it out on the field'. And that's the way we've worked this year and it's been nice to get that sort of working relationship back together again.' One of the questions that was put to Ponting during The Indian Express Idea Exchange was whether the influence of the coach from the dugout could go as high as we see in football these days. 'I don't think a cricket team coach has the same impact as a football team manager. I like to share my thoughts and ideas with the captain and a few senior players. We don't necessarily include everyone in all tactical decisions, but the relationship between the captain and coach must be as strong as possible. That's why I went for Shreyas in the auction,' Ponting had said. For a team that trusted domestic uncapped talent more than most franchises, the Mumbaikar's ability to keep things real helped. 'If you spoke to the players individually, I think every single one of them would give Shreyas a great rap because he has spent a lot of time with them,' Ponting said. 'He's pumped them up, he's given them a pat on the back when they needed it, and he's given them a kick in the pants when they've needed it as well, which is a sign of a really good and strong leader.' It also pointed to Shreyas Iyer's growth over the years. Ponting almost sees his own swagger from Shreyas when he walks out to bat but in his interaction with The Indian Express earlier this year, Shreyas spoke of a younger version of him who wasn't high on confidence when he went to play club cricket in England. 'I made a few friends there, but my English wasn't that great. I couldn't communicate properly. I was low on confidence. And I wanted a way to connect with people and mesmerise them through my actions. I thought magic could be a great icebreaker.' From there, to being the calming influence for a young dressing room, Shreyas has come a long way. And as he said in one of the post-match chats, the Ponting-Shreyas combo sure 'dotted the i's and crossed the t's' to take Punjab close. If they stick to their guns, they ought to be challenging next year too. Vinayakk Mohanarangan is Senior Assistant Editor and is based in New Delhi. ... Read More
