Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are champions of IPL 2025. They defeated Punjab Kings by six runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It was a decent day for bowlers as 16 wickets fell in 40 overs, even as 374 runs were scored too.
Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson picked up three wickets each as PBKS restricted RCB to 190 runs in their 20 overs. With a three-wicket haul in the summit clash, Arshdeep climbed to fifth place in the list of players with the most wickets in IPL 2025. He ended the season with 21 wickets in 17 matches.
Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya also scalped two wickets each to enter the top 10 list of bowlers to pick most wickets this season. Both bowlers ended with 17 wickets to their name this season. Their teammate Josh Hazlewood was the best bowler for RCB throughout the season.
He delivered telling blows to the opposition right through and finished with 22 wickets after playing only 12 matches this season. Hazlewood remained the third highest wicket-taker in IPL 2025 as Prasidh Krishna of Gujarat Titans and Noor Ahmad of Chennai Super Kings finished in top two.
