The 18th IPL final at Narendra Modi Stadium features Virat Kohli aiming for his maiden IPL trophy with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, while Shreyas Iyer leads Punjab Kings in their first-ever final, setting the stage for a thrilling T20 showdown.

IPL 2025: RCB and Virat Kohli's 18-year wait meets Punjab Kings' tenacity as IPL set to crown new winner

The 18th IPL final at Narendra Modi Stadium features Virat Kohli aiming for his maiden IPL trophy with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, while Shreyas Iyer leads Punjab Kings in their first-ever final, setting the stage for a thrilling T20 showdown.

Virat Kohli's nearly two-decade long agonising wait to lay hands on an IPL Trophy with Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be up against Shreyas Iyer's resolve to make first-time winners out of the tenacious Punjab Kings when the 18th season finale of the world's biggest T20 league unfolds at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
The summit could witness a thousands of fans donning jersey No.18 to support Kohli, who is in an IPL final for a fourth time overall.
The sentiments of the fans would indeed run high given it will be Kohli's last appearance on the cricket field for a while, having recently retired from Test cricket and India's next ODI assignment a few months away.
Parting ways with issues that plagued their previous campaigns, RCB have been clinical all the way through, coming into the final with an eight-wicket hammering of Punjab in a one-sided Qualifier 1.
Kohli (614 runs) has gone about his business like every other year, piling up runs at the top and continuing to lay platforms but where it has made the difference for RCB is that there's a lot more substance to their batting beyond the superstar.
Kohli has not been the only one to carry the focus and attention this year, rather he has quietly gone about his business in fortifying for RCB.
Phil Salt is a perfect foil for the Indian superstar who goes all-out in his attack, while Mayank Agarwal, skipper Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma are the trusted lieutenants of that batting line-up.
Since he has missed RCB's last two games, it remains to be seen if Tim David is fit for this contest as he forms a vital death overs batting pair with another burly hitter in Romario Shepherd.
Like Kohli in their batting, the calm and composed Josh Hazlewood (21 wickets) has been at the helm of RCB's rise and the fourth highest wicket-taker and the Australian would want to add more to move up the ladder in one last game.
On their part, stung by that crushing defeat in their homeground at Mullanpur, Iyer's Kings showed no scars from that defeat as they knocked out five-time winners Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 to reach their first final after 11 years.
It's only fitting that PBKS and RCB, who finished at the top two positions respectively after a gruelling 70-match league round, have a crack at the trophy which has eluded them from the time the competition began.
Perennial finishers in the second half of the 10-team points table, Punjab Kings have staged a sensational turnaround with two dogged personalities in captain Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting at the helm.
For Iyer (603 runs), a second consecutive appearance in an IPL final after winning it last year with Kolkata Knight Riders speaks volumes about his capabilities as a leader who marshals his troops as good as any other in the format.
It is, therefore, not a surprise to see Iyer being the only cricketer in the 18-year history of the tournament to have led three different teams in IPL finals, with Delhi Capitals being the third.
Iyer's perseverance is not the only quality that stands out for the 30-year-old Punjab captain but also the fact that he remains as hungry to win this IPL as he was when he began the journey with the franchise a few months ago.
In Prabhsimran Singh, Josh Inglis, Priyansh Arya and Shashank Singh, Iyer has adequate support to hold his fort staunchly and even lead aggressive attacks on the opposition camp.
Punjab's bowling, without Marcus Jansen, did look a little depleted but having managed to keep a lid on Mumbai Indians' for the entirely of an innings on a batting-friendly wicket tells that there is more to it than what has been perceived.
Yuzvendra Chahal is still dealing with a hand injury and was not at his absolute best in the Qualifier 2 but Punjab would need him to fire against his former franchise.
While there are no predictions of rains impacting the contest, an additional hour to the playtime extending the duration to 120 minutes and having a reserve day in the final are the measures in place to ensure the contest is completed.
Teams (from): 
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Rajat Patidar (c), Virat Kohli, Phil Salt (wk), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Swastik Chhikara, Liam Livingstone, Krunal Pandya, Swapnil Singh, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Manoj Bhandage, Jacob Bethell, Josh Hazlewood, Rasikh Salam Dar, Suyash Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Nuwan Thushara, Lungi Ngidi, Abhinandan Singh, Mohit Rathee, Yash Dayal.
Punjab Kings: Shreyas Iyer (c), Nehal Wadhera, Vishnu Vinod (wk), Josh Inglis (wk), Harnoor Pannu, Pyla Avinash, Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Harpreet Brar, Azmatullah Omarzai, Priyansh Arya, Aaron Hardie, Musheer Khan, Suryansh Shedge, Mitch Owen, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Sen, Xavier Bartlett, Pravin Dubey, Kyle Jamieson.
Match starts at 7:30pm IST.&nbsp;

The event got underway on March 22 after the BCCI announced the schedule for just the first two weeks (21 matches).

IPL 2024 Schedule confirmed: Chennai to host final, check out all key dates

The event got underway on March 22 after the BCCI announced the schedule for just the first two weeks (21 matches).

Chennai was on Monday named venue of this year's IPL final on May 26 and was also awarded hosting rights of the second qualifier on May 24 as the BCCI unveiled the tournament's complete schedule, factoring in the polling dates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Chennai has been awarded the final by virtue of Chennai Super Kings being the defending champions. The title-holders get to host the opening and the final game of the tournament as per established convention.
The event got underway on March 22 after the BCCI announced the schedule for just the first two weeks (21 matches).
The other two marquee play-off matches will be hosted by Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on May 21 and 22 respectively. PTI had reported the venues of the final four games of the tournament on Friday.
"The remainder of the schedule has been drawn up, factoring in the polling dates and venues for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections across the country," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a media release.
"After a break on May 20th, the spotlight will shift to Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium as the world's biggest cricket stadium hosts an electrifying Qualifier 1 clash featuring two top-ranked sides on Tuesday, May 21st, followed by the exciting Eliminator on Wednesday, May 22nd.
"...the Qualifier 2 and the grand final will take place in Chennai, the home turf of reigning champions Chennai Super Kings. The Qualifier 2, to be played between the loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator, will take place on Friday, May 24th, followed by the summit clash on Sunday, May 26th," he added.
The iconic Chepauk will host the IPL finale long after voting in Tamil Nadu is completed on April 19 for its 39 Lok Sabha seats in the first phase of elections.
Delhi Capitals, who will play their first two home games in Visakhapatnam on March 31 and April 3, will have five games at their actual base. These matches are scheduled for April 20, 24, 27, May 7 and 14.
The polling for Delhi's seven Lok Sabha seats will take place on May 25.
Should CSK go the distance in the tournament, the marquee games at Chepauk will be perfect opportunity for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to end his IPL career in front of home fans, as is being widely speculated after he handed over the team's captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad on the eve of the league-opener.
"Punjab Kings, who commenced their season at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, will culminate their home campaign in Dharamsala. Punjab will be hosting two matches in Dharamsala on May 5 and 9 against CSK and RCB respectively," the BCCI release stated.
Rajasthan Royals will also play a couple of matches at their second home base Guwahati.
"Rajasthan Royals too have opted for a second venue in Guwahati and will play their final two home matches in Assam. They will first host Punjab Kings on May 15 and later play Kolkata Knight Riders on May 19, which will also mark the conclusion of the league stage of the 17th season of IPL," the release further stated.&nbsp;

CSK has now won 3 of the last 4 finals they have played in the IPL. Moreover, the winner of Qualifier 1 has won the IPL for the 6th consecutive season

The equation boiled down to 10 required off the final 2 balls and Ravindra Jadeja sealed an emphatic win for CSK with a six and a boundary.

CSK has now won 3 of the last 4 finals they have played in the IPL. Moreover, the winner of Qualifier 1 has won the IPL for the 6th consecutive season

After 74 matches, it all came down to the final ball to decide who will win IPL 2023 and it was Ravindra Jadeja who held his nerve to power Chennai Super Kings to their 5th title, joint-most in IPL history.
Put into bat, Gujarat Titans finished at 214/4, courtesy of a fiery 96-run knock by Sai Sudarshan.
However, a short shower delayed Chennai's run-chase and the new equation was 171 needed off 15 overs.
CSK were off to a fiery 74-run opening partnership but Mohit Sharma brought GT back into the contest with 3 wickets.
The equation boiled down to 10 required off the final 2 balls and Jadeja sealed an emphatic win with a six and a boundary.
Interestingly, CSK has now won 3 of the last 4 finals they have played in the IPL. Moreover, the winner of Qualifier 1 has won the IPL for the 6th consecutive season.

IPL 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR), Final Preview: The two most dominating teams of this IPL, the debutants Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face each other in the IPL 2022 final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans have been enjoying their maiden IPL season as they reached the final in their debut after crushing Rajasthan in Qualifier 1. The team also became the first team to qualify for the playoffs as they finished on top of the points table with 10 wins in 14 matches.
On the other hand, the 2008 IPL champions Rajasthan Royals have reached their first final in 14 years and they would be looking to win the title for the late spin king Shane Warne who led the team to the tournament's maiden trophy in IPL 2008. Sanju Samson's Rajasthan had lost the Qualifier 1 to Gujarat but came back stronger against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Qualifier 2 to reach the final. 
This match will not only decide the winner of the tournament but also decide who will win the Orange and Purple caps. Other than RCB's Wanindu Hasaranga, no other bowler is closer to RR's Yuzvendra Chahal who has taken 26 wickets so far with RR having one match in hand. Having scored 824 runs in 16 matches, Jos Buttler is leading the list of the batters with the most runs and in all possible ways, he is likely to win the Orange cap this season.

It will be a repeat of the 2012 IPL&nbsp;final as Chennai&nbsp;Super Kings take on Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders in the final game of IPL&nbsp;2021 in Dubai on Friday. But it will be tough for the 2-time winners KKR&nbsp;to emulate the feat in 2021 considering their form, Chennai's form, and the tricky surface in Dubai.

Chennai on the other hand has beaten KKR&nbsp;in both matches this season and will be aiming&nbsp;to repeat that formula in Dubai in order to win their 4th IPL&nbsp;title in 9 finals. Dhoni's men might not have been extraordinary in the tournament but substantial contributions from everyone in the side have ensured that the Yellow Brigade is in the final after last year's horror show. To counter KKR's spin twins, the opening combo of Chennai will be in focus as both Faf&nbsp;du Plessis and Ruturaj&nbsp;Gaikwad&nbsp;have scored 500+ runs this season.&nbsp;

Led by Eoin&nbsp;Morgan, KKR&nbsp;has managed to turn their fortunes around in the UAE&nbsp;leg but the team is still waiting for their skipper to fire with the bat. Andre Russell could get the game ahead of Shakib&nbsp;al Hasan&nbsp;owing to the flat deck in Dubai but all eyes will be on the spin twins Varun&nbsp;Chakravarthy&nbsp;&amp; Sunil&nbsp;Narine.&nbsp;

Chennai on the other hand has beaten KKR&nbsp;in both matches this season and will be aiming&nbsp;to repeat that formula in Dubai in order to win their 4th IPL&nbsp;title in 9 finals. Dhoni's men might not have been extraordinary in the tournament but substantial contributions from everyone in the side have ensured that the Yellow Brigade is in the final after last year's horror show. To counter KKR's spin twins, the opening combo of Chennai will be in focus as both Faf&nbsp;du Plessis and Ruturaj&nbsp;Gaikwad&nbsp;have scored 500+ runs this season.&nbsp;

With the tournament having being postponed due to the killer 2nd wave of the&nbsp;Covid-19 pandemic in India, the teams in IPL&nbsp;were forced to regroup and play in the UAE&nbsp;and a high-octane final will be a perfect tribute to this extra-ordinary edition of the tournament.&nbsp;&nbsp;
