Punjab Kings are just one win away from creating history.

Punjab Kings Playing 11 vs RCB- Final, IPL 2025:
Openers: Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya
Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya are set to be the openers in the Punjab Kings Playing 11 for the upcoming final. The onus will be on the duo to give the team a good start in the title decider.
Both the batsmen have been in good form this season but failed to get going in the last game against Mumbai Indians. Prabhsimran was out for just 6 runs while Arya got the start but could not convert it into a big score and departed for 20 runs.
Middle-order: Josh Inglis (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai
Josh Inglis played a key knock for PBKS at the top to give the innings the much-needed early momentum. He hit Jasprit Bumrah for 20 runs in the 5th over to help PBKS get the momentum. The Australia star was eventually out for 38 runs and will look to impress once again.
Shreyas Iyer is just one step away from creating history. He can create a plethora of records by leading PBKS to their first-ever IPL title. The right-handed batsman has led the team from the very front this season and will look to impress once again.

Nehal Wadhera also impressed with the bat against Mumbai Indians. The left-handed batsman scored 48 runs off 29 balls and will have to play a key role again in the final. He is one of the most important players in the Punjab Kings Playing 11 at present.
