After 17 long years of heartbreak, Royal Challengers Bengaluru is IPL Champion
Yes you read it right as, RCB Clinch Maiden Title With 6-Run Win Over PBKS In Ahmedabad. Happiness for one team became heartbreak for another team as PBKS failed to clinch maiden title as RCB held their nerve to seal a dramatic victory as PBKS fell short in a chase of 191.
Put into bat first, RCB posted a competitive 190/9 with the help of Virat Kohli (43 off 35), Liam Livingstone (25 off 15), and Jitesh Sharma (24 off 10). Chasing a target of 191, PBKS seems be on a right track until match-defining spell from Krunal Pandya, whose 4-0-17-2 choked the flow of runs and tilted the game in RCB’s favour. Tight death bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/38) and Yash Dayal (1/18) restricted PBKS to 184/7.
