The Indian Premier League will have a new champion in 2025. Kings Pandjab attacked the final only for the second time in their 18 -year history after Sunday 1 June exceeded the five -time Mumbai Indians champions in qualifying 2.
“We lost the battle but not war,” said defiant Shreyas Iyer After Punjab Kings lost 1 IPL 2025 qualifying on Wednesday. It was a hammer in the hands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, because Pandjab paid the price for exaggerating an aggressive approach that otherwise served them well. Shreyas’s words looked somewhat across the summit, due to the complex nature of this defeat. | IPL 2025, PBKS vs me emphasizing |
Yet it was Shreyas Iyer, who led from the front when it mattered the most, and helped Kings Pandjab take advantage of their second chance to achieve the finals. In qualifying 2 against the Indians in Mumbai, the captain created one of his best shifts of the tournament – undefeated 87 of only 41 balls – to help Punjab chase 204 with six vans. His trademark Bravado and Flair were fully exposed when he released the towering six, dug Jasprit Bumhrah’s Yorkers, and the match set off from Mumbai’s Grasp.
Shreyas Iyer will lead Pandjab Kings again against RCB, this time in the Great Final, where sparks will fly. Pandjab ended his 11 -year -old waiting in the final and did it in style, played a fearless cricket and showed their remarkable resistance to bounce back from the failures.
Heartfelt for the Indians bombje
It was a heartbreaking east for Hardice Pandy and his men. The Bombai Indians crashed after mounted a brave comeback in the second half of the season. After they lost five of their first six games, they attacked the play -off by winning seven of their last eight. They were clinic in the eliminator against Gujarat Titans, but eventually reached the steam against the side of the pandjab, which perfectly solved the pressure.
When Punjab Kings chased the steep goal of 204, he got out of the careful beginning because Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya took time against the new Trent Boult and Reece Topley attack. It was an atypically measured approach from the two most complete openers of the season. Perhaps it was a result of their launch collapse in qualifying 1 against the Royal Challengers Bengalur, when each dough ruthlessly cast caution into the wind, resulting in a poor total of 101 in just 14.1 overs.
Prabhsimran Singh tried to move the gear in the third, but his aggression proved to be expensive. He was released to 6 out of 9 balls, with Trent Boult provided an early breakthrough for Mumbai.
