'Suno Gaur se Duniya walo, Boori Nazaar na humpe dalo, Chahe jeetna jor laga lo, Sabse aage honge Hindustani', the song reverberated with immense passion as Shankar Mahadevan and his team have showcased a power-packed performance at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

In the IPL 2025 final, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be up against Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad and it was a fitting closing ceremony, which was dedicated to the Indian armed forces, which fought bravely and have always been the protectors of the nation.

The tournament is concluding 9 days later than it was scheduled, due to tension between India and Pakistan. After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, Indian armed forces gave a befitting reply through Operation Sindoor and then the escalations between India and Pakistan resulted a hiatus in the tournament. The Navy, Air Force and Military took care of the Pakistani attack and then decimated many installations at the other side of the border.

As the Closing Ceremony took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium, BCCI paid respect to the Indian Armed Forces. A renowned composer Shankar Mahadevan led the troops at the stadium as the top brass of India's armed forces were invited for the event, where they got their due tribute.

It will be a huge battle between RCB and PBKS on the field, but ahead of that, the nation hailed those who have always sacrificed their life for the nation. As the ceremony ended, the entire stadium reverberated with 'Bharat Maata ki Jay' chant, capping off a true spectacle.

As per the latest update, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer have won the Toss and decided to bowl first. Both teams have kep their squads unchanged from their last respective matches.
