Virat Kohli in Awe at Jitesh Sharma's Bizarre Lap Shot During RCB-PBKS IPL 2025 Final | WATCH VIDEO

RCB vs PBKS, IPL 2025: Once Virat Kohli perished for 43 off 35 balls during the summit clash of the IPL against Punjab, the onus shifted on Jitesh Sharma to give RCB the finishing kick. Jitesh came into the game on the back of a good IPL season and big things were expected from him. He got his innings off to a fiery start, but perished soon. He scored 24 off 10 balls. But it was this one lap shot that got a priceless reaction out of Kohli, who was in the dressing room.

Meanwhile, RCB are currently even struggling to get to 200. It would be interesting to see if RCB have enough on board in a final to defend. For sure, the RCB pacers have to get them off to a good start, which means getting wickets inside the powerplay. Kyle Jamieson with three wickets to his name is the pick of the Punjab bowlers. He picked up the important wickets of Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt.

RCB Choke Again? 

Looks like RCB are a few runs short and the way their batting unit performed, it was not even close to their best. They would now have to bowl out of their skins to defend this in front of an in-form Punjab Kings side, who have been chasing well. For the unversed, RCB have never won an IPL title and this is their fourth final. It would also be interesting to see how the strip plays out when Punjab come out to bat.
