Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Monday said that the people and the state government are waiting for the victory of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL Final 2025

which will be played in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, June 3. RCB was first to reach the final and will face Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings, which defeated Mumbai Indians to reach the finals after 11

waiting for their victory. A lot of people from Karnataka are going to watch the match in Ahmedabad. Let us hope and pray that they win and come back,” DK Shivakumar told reporters in

clinical eight-wicket win over Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1. The Rajat Patidar-led side has not won any IPL title so far. However, it is the favourite for winning the title this year on the

back of all-round performance. Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer for the franchise in 2025. He has scored 614 runs in 14 matches so far. Besides Kohli, nine other batters have registered

half-centuries – Patidar, Phil Salt, Tim David, Jitesh Sharma, and with the ball, fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has led the charge with 21 wickets, while Krunal Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar

have picked 15 wickets each, and leg-spinner Suyash Sharma had eight scalps. Advertisement
