With the IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) set to unfold in Ahmedabad, former India cricketer Yograj Singh has made a striking statement. A new IPL winner will be crowned this year, with both RCB and PBKS remaining two of the three franchises to have never won an IPL trophy since its inception. Delhi Capitals (DC) still remains quite a far away from the dream.
What did Yograj Singh say before IPL 2025 final?
Speaking to ANI, Yograj, never shy of bold opinions, declared that RCB talisman Virat Kohli could “chase 250 or even 300” if he remains unbeaten in the powerplay. According to him, Kohli’s wicket will be of paramount importance to Punjab’s title hopes. “If Punjab doesn’t get Virat out, then they are in trouble. If he doesn’t get out, then he can chase 250 or 300. I believe Punjab can win. The game is done if Virat doesn’t get out in the first 10 overs. My senses say Punjab will win,” he said.
Kohli’s form has been nothing short of elite this season. With 614 runs at an average of 55.82 and a strike rate of 146.53, the 36-year-old has orchestrated RCB’s charge into their first IPL final since 2016. However, Kohli’s finals record remains modest — scores of 7, 35, and 54 in his three previous title clashes. Tuesday gives him another chance to rewrite that script.
PBKS will win, says Yograj Singh
Yograj also heaped praise on Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer, calling him “an amazing player” capable of taking the game away, just like Kohli. With 39 sixes (2nd-most) this season, Iyer has been Punjab’s power engine. “Punjab has a wonderful captain. He is an amazing player. The game will be between Punjab’s captain and Virat Kohli. If RCB has Virat, Punjab has Shreyas Iyer. Punjab should win. If Virat can win RCB a game from any position, Shreyas can do it as well,” Yograj added.
