The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has reached its grand finale, promising a memorable end to a remarkable season. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final on Tuesday, June 3, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This season guarantees a new champion, adding to the excitement of the title clash.
Originally scheduled to be held at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the final was relocated to Ahmedabad following a 10-day suspension of the tournament amid cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision marked a significant shift but ensured the continuation of the tournament in a secure environment.
The IPL 2025 began with a glittering opening ceremony featuring Bollywood stars and musical powerhouses. Shah Rukh Khan, Disha Patani, Varun Dhawan, Shreya Ghoshal, and Karan Aujla lit up the stage, setting a high bar for the closing event.
