Ek team 17 saal ke sukhne ke baad trophy jeetegi, aur doosri… bas, uss team ke camp mein rehna nahi chahoge!
Ab thoda detail mein baat karte hain. Ye IPL 2025 ka final, jo 3 June ko Ahmedabad ke Narendra Modi Stadium mein hoga, sirf cricket nahi, balki jazbaat ka toofan hai. RCB aur PBKS, dono 2008 se IPL khel rahe hain, lekin trophy ka maza ab tak nahi chakkha. Ek taraf RCB ke fans ka junoon hai, jo har haar ke baad bhi “Ee Sala Cup Namde” chillate hain, aur doosri taraf PBKS, jo aksar sapne dikhakar toot jaati hai. Is baar, ek team ka sapna poora hoga, aur doosri ka dil tootega.
Dono ka Purana Dard
RCB aur PBKS ka dard ek jaisa hai – dono trophy ke kareeb aaye, par haath khali raha. RCB 2009, 2011 aur 2016 mein final khela, lekin har baar haar. 2016 ka final toh fans ke dil mein ab bhi chubhta hai, jab Virat Kohli ke 973 runs bhi kaam na aaye. Fans ab bhi uss dard ko yaad karte hain, lekin unka junoon kam nahi hua. PBKS ka scene thoda alag hai – unhone 2014 mein ek baar final khela, par Kolkata ne unka sapna chura liya. Uske baad se, woh playoffs se door hi rahe, par 2025 mein Shreyas Iyer aur Ricky Ponting ke saath unhone sabko shock diya.
Dono teams ke fans ke dil mein ek hi aag hai – is baar trophy chahiye. RCB ke liye yeh unke fans ka wafadaari ka inaam hai, aur PBKS ke liye ek mauka hai apne “hamesha haarne wale” tag ko hamesha ke liye mitaane ka.
Final Tak ka Safar
RCB ne is baar dikhaya ki woh sirf Kohli ke dum pe nahi chalte. Rajat Patidar ki captaincy, Josh Hazlewood aur Suyash Sharma ki bowling, aur Phil Salt ka aggressive batting ne unhe Qualifier 1 mein PBKS ko dhool chata di – PBKS ko 101 pe out karke 10 overs mein target hila diya. Kohli ke 8 fifties aur Salt ka jadoo unhe final mein favorite banata hai.
PBKS ne bhi haar nahi maani. Qualifier 1 mein harke bhi, unhone Qualifier 2 mein Mumbai Indians ko patak diya. Shreyas Iyer ka leadership, Priyansh Arya aur Marcus Stoinis ka dum, aur Arshdeep Singh-Yuzvendra Chahal ki bowling ne unhe final tak pahunchaya. League stage mein dono teams ne 9-9 match jeete, par PBKS net run rate pe top pe raha.
Match ke Masale
Yeh final ek tactical jung hogi. RCB ki bowling – Hazlewood, Dayal aur Suyash – PBKS ke batsmen ko tang kar sakti hai, jaise unhone Qualifier 1 mein kiya. Phil Salt ka Arshdeep ke khilaaf record acha hai, aur Kohli ka experience unhe game changer banata hai. PBKS ke liye Shreyas ka form aur Stoinis ka all-round khel zaroori hai. Arshdeep ka swing aur Chahal ka spin RCB ke middle order ko pareshan kar sakta hai. Ahmedabad ka pitch batting ke liye acha hai, par agar thodi baarish hui toh PBKS, league leader hone ke naate, champion ban sakta hai – yeh RCB fans ke liye dil todne wala hoga.
Dil ka Connection
RCB ke fans ke liye yeh match ek sapne jaisa hai. X pe posts dekho – “Yeh video dekhkar bada aadmi bhi ro de” (@onlyprathamesh) – yeh batata hai ki fans kitne jazbaati hain. Kohli ka “bas ek aur baaki hai” wala comment fans ke dil mein ghar kar gaya. PBKS ke fans bhi kam nahi – unki team ka yeh naya roop unhe trophy ka sapna dikhata hai. Par Qualifier 1 ki haar yaad hai, aur agar final mein bhi hara toh dard aur bhi gehra hoga.
Kya Hai Daav Pe?
Jeetne wali team na sirf trophy uthayegi, balki 17 saal ka bojh bhi utaregi. RCB ke liye yeh “chokers” ka tag mitaane ka mauka hai, aur PBKS ke liye apne aap ko IPL ka bada player banane ka. Haarne wali team ke liye agla season tak intezaar aur dard hi bachega. Kohli ka IPL trophy ka sapna, Shreyas ka captaincy ka jalwa – yeh sab is ek match pe tika hai.
3 June ko jab yeh dono teams maidan mein utregi, Ahmedabad ek jazbaati hungama ban jayega. Ek team khushi se jhoom uthegi, aur doosri ka dil toot jayega. IPL ke is drama mein, yeh final ek aisa chapter hoga jo cricket fans kabhi nahi bhulenge.
