Tue Jun 03 11:00:00 UTC 2025: **IPL 2025 Final: Rain Stops, Hopes Rise as RCB and PBKS Prepare for Title Clash**

**Ahmedabad, India** – Cricket fans in Ahmedabad are buzzing with excitement as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) prepare to battle it out for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 title at the Narendra Modi Stadium. After a period of rain, the skies have cleared, and the sun is peeking through, raising hopes for an uninterrupted match.

However, uncertainty surrounds RCB’s camp due to the potential absence of star opener Phil Salt, whose availability remains unclear. Reports suggest he might have traveled home for the impending birth of his child. Despite the suspense, fans are eagerly anticipating the clash between RCB’s Virat Kohli and PBKS’ Shreyas Iyer, both seeking their first IPL trophy.

The match promises to be a historic moment for either team, marking the end of an 18-year title drought. Former India cricketer Ambati Rayudu has voiced his support for RCB, while Preity Zinta, co-owner of PBKS, shared an emotional message for her team. With cricket legends Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers expected to be in attendance, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation.

Virender Sehwag has jokingly predicted an RCB victory, citing his “reverse jinx” record. The pitch at Ahmedabad is expected to favor batting, with warm and slightly muggy evening conditions.

As both teams gear up for the final, all eyes are on the field as a new IPL champion is set to be crowned. The match is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST and will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and JioHotstar.
