Krunal Pandya played very well and was named the best player of the match.
Sadly, some people were hurt and killed during the celebrations in Bengaluru.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six runs in the IPL 2025 final.
Virat Kohli, who has been with RCB since 2008, expressed immense emotion after the victory.
Krunal Pandya's bowling performance was crucial, earning him the Player of the Match award.
