The thrill of IPL 2025 has reached its end. In the final match on June 3, Punjab Kings lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 runs. The Punjab bowlers performed brilliantly in this match, but the batsmen failed to overshadow the team. This defeat poured light on another special record – Yuzvendra Chahal once again became the final losing player, and this is the third time he has lost the final match playing with the third separate team.
