IPL 2025 final, RCB vs PBKS; Five key battles to watch out
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings play the final of IPL 2025 in Ahmedabad tonight (June 3). Here are the key battles to watch out for. Punjab Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first meeting of IPL 2025. Rajat Patidar hit back with two back-to-back wins, including the Qualifier 1 game last week. Shreyas Iyer led Mumbai in the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 and defeated Madhya Pradesh, led by Rajat Patidar. Who's going to outsmart the other? Yuzvendra Chahal played 113 matches for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, including the final of IPL 2016, under Virat Kohli's captaincy. Chahal missed the Qualifier 1 game due to injury.

Watch: Prithvi Shaw Spotted With Friends In His BMW Car Amid IPL 2025
Ignored Indian cricket team batter Prithvi Shaw, who went unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction, was recently spotted with friends in his BMW car. Prithvi was once hailed as a major talent for Indian cricket but in recent times, lack of form and fitness issues has seriously dented his career. He was dropped from the Mumbai side due to fitness concerns and his last appearance was in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 where he once again disappointed with the bat. In the video going viral on social media, Prithvi was approached by some of his fans and he was also surrounded by some camerapersons. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Prithvi Shaw spotted with his girlfriend again—man's out here partying instead of working on his fitness. No wonder the comeback looks so far off. Bro seriously needs someone like Yograj Singh to get him back on track. #PrithviShaw — Mohit Kamal Rath (@mkr4411) April 24, 2025 Meanwhile, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi who scored record breaking century in the IPL 2025 on Monday. The 14-year-old Bihar batter, playing for Rajasthan Royals, shattered the long-standing record for the fastest IPL century by an Indian, surpassing Yusuf Pathan 's 37-ball ton against Mumbai Indians in 2010 that had remained unbeaten for 15 years until Monday night. In only his third IPL appearance, Suryavanshi hammered a sensational 101 off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur, bringing up his century in just 35 deliveries - the fastest ever by an Indian in IPL history and the second-fastest overall, behind Chris Gayle 's legendary 30-ball century. "Congratulations and best wishes to Vaibhav Suryavanshi of Bihar, who became the youngest player (14 years) to score a century in the history of IPL. He has become a new hope for Indian cricket on the strength of his hard work and talent. Everyone is proud of him. I met Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his father in 2024 at 1 Anne Marg and at that time I wished him a bright future," CM Nitish posted on X. Nitish further revealed that he spoke with the teenager over phone after his historic knock and extended his best wishes to the youngster. "After his brilliant performance in IPL, I also congratulated him over the phone. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a young cricketer from Bihar, will also be given an honorarium of Rs 10 lakh by the state government. I wish that Vaibhav creates new records for the Indian team in the future and brings glory to the country," he added. In the mega auction held last year, Suryavanshi became the youngest to earn an IPL deal when RR signed him for Rs 1.1 crore. (With IANS inputs)
