'One of the greatest spells': Fans laud Krunal Pandya as he brings RCB back in IPL 2025 final against PBKS

The IPL 2025 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has turned into a rollercoaster. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) posted a total of 190/9, and with the way Punjab Kings (PBKS) started their chase, things were starting to look shaky for the RCB camp. But just when it seemed like PBKS were cruising, Krunal Pandya stepped in with a performance that could be remembered for years in franchise history.

Krunal¡¯s 4-0-17-2 spell shifts the momentum

Krunal Pandya didn¡¯t just bowl well ¡ª he completely changed the mood of the match. With calm nerves and clever variations, he pulled off a brilliant 4-over spell, conceding just 17 runs and taking 2 key wickets. He first removed the dangerous Prabhsimran Singh, who had looked threatening early on. Then came an even bigger blow ¡ª the wicket of a well-set Josh Inglis, just when he looked ready to shift gears.

What stood out wasn¡¯t just the wickets, but how Krunal bowled with intent and discipline. He stuck to tight lines, mixed his pace, and never let the batters settle. In a final where the pressure is sky-high, this was a display of experience, maturity, and grit. With every dot ball and every wicket, the RCB supporters found their hope again.

Fans erupt in praise for Krunal Pandya

Fans didn¡¯t waste a second in showing love to Krunal on social media. Many were quick to call his spell ¡°one of the greatest ever in an IPL final¡±, while others pointed out how he single-handedly pulled RCB back into the game.

One fan wrote, "KRUNAL PANDYA - ONE OF THE GREATEST SPELL IN IPL. 4-0-17-2 against Punjab Kings, he has turned the game for RCB, this will be remembered forever in franchise History."
