RCB vs PBKS Final Toss Winner
In the final of IPL 2025, punjab Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first. Looking at the chasing record at narendra modi Stadium, RCB's troubles seem to be increasing. On one hand, the punjab team has not made any changes in its playing XI, while Bangalore has also not made any changes in its playing XI. Before the final, there was a rumor that salt would not play in the final, all those reports have proved wrong as Phil Salt is included in the playing XI.
So far 2 finals have been played at narendra modi Stadium in history. The 2022 and 2023 finals were played on this ground and both times the chasing team was victorious. In 2022, gujarat Titans defeated rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets, while in 2023, chennai Super Kings defeated gujarat Titans by 5 wickets. Looking at this old record, RCB's problems have increased.
