IPL 2025 Final: How Harpreet Brar could be PBKS’ Game-Changer and RCB’s Headache

Ahmedabad: As the final of IPL 2025 is getting closer, discussions on the strategies and weaknesses of both the teams are intensifying, reports Dynamite News correspondent. This time Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings are facing each other in the final—both teams have been away from the IPL trophy so far, but this time one of them is going to make history.

Talking about Punjab Kings, it is believed that they can include Harpreet Brar in the playing XI. The main reason behind doing this is his excellent record against RCB and especially Virat Kohli.

RCB's top order includes batsmen like Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarwal, Livingstone, Rajat Patidar, and Jitesh, most of whom are right-handers. In such a situation, left-arm spinner Harpreet and Yuzvendra Chahal can be important for Punjab.

At the same time, due to the large ground, if the batsmen mistime the shots, it will not be easy to cross the boundary. For example, in the last match, Suryakumar Yadav was out on the long boundary against Yuzi Chahal. That wicket proved to be the turning point of the match, because if he had stayed, Mumbai's score could have been 224, not 204.

Now if we talk about RCB's bowling, they have Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Yash Dayal—all three have the ability to take wickets in the powerplay. Both Yash Dayal and Bhuvneshwar are adept at swing bowling, and on a track like Ahmedabad, this can prove to be a game changer.

Punjab's weakness is that they do not have a permanent arrangement for the sixth bowler. Stoinis has to bowl one or two overs every now and then, which can prove to be expensive. However, their batting depth is their strength.

For now, the role of the toss will also be important. The last match is an example of how important it is to make the right decision after winning the toss. In such a situation, strategy, playing eleven, and mind games—everything will play an important role.
