The IPL 2025 final between the Punjab Kings and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru was held on Tuesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The final score was 190/9 for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. PBKS was attempting to score 191 runs when rookie Priyansh Arya (24 off 19) was defeated in the powerplay.

Following Virat Kohli's game-high score for RCB in the first innings (43 off 35), this happened. Following the previous captain's knock, Liam Livingstone (25) and Jitesh Sharma (24) made significant contributions, assisting the squad in reaching 190 runs in 20 overs. Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson, two PBKS bowlers, each grabbed three wickets.

Short Scores: In 20 overs, RCB scored 190/9 (Virat Kohli 43, Rajat Patidar 26; Arshdeep Singh 3/40, Kyle Jamieson 3/48, Yuzvendra Chahal 1/37) against the Punjab Kings.

Shreyas Iyer and his teammates started off strong in their pursuit of 191. Josh Hazlewood's delivery was intercepted by Phil Salt in a stunning manner, eliminating Priyansh Arya.

IPL Finals' Most Sought-After Goal

The Kolkata Knight Riders hold the record for the highest run chase in an IPL final. The three-time IPL winners, led by Gautam Gambhir, successfully chased down 200 runs against the Punjab Kings, formerly known as Kings XI Punjab, in 2014. Manish Pandey then took the lead, blasting 94 runs in 50 balls.

Other Significant Pursuits

191: 2012 final between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and KKR.

179: The 2018 championship game between CSK and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

171: The championship game of the 2023 season, between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

164: The 2008 championship game between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the CSK.

If PBKS is successful in pursuing the 2025 final target of 191, it will be the second-highest chase in IPL final history, exceeding the 191 in 2012.
