RCB vs PBKS: IPL Finals Records At Narendra Modi Stadium- All You Need To Know

RCB vs PBKS: The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has quickly become the beating heart of the Indian Premier League's biggest nights.

Since its grand redevelopment, the colossal venue - the largest cricket stadium in the world - has hosted two IPL finals, with a third set to unfold today as Royal Challengers Bengaluru prepare to take on Punjab Kings in what promises to be a historic clash.

RCB vs PBKS

2022: The Titans' Dream Debut

The stadium made its IPL final debut in 2022 when the newly formed Gujarat Titans, under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, scripted a fairy-tale season. Playing on their home turf, the Titans squared off against Rajasthan Royals in front of a sea of blue and gold. Gujarat delivered a clinical performance, chasing down 131 and clinching their maiden title in their debut season - a moment etched in the memory of every fan who witnessed it.

2023: Rain, Drama, and the Dhoni Factor

A year later, the stadium played host to another blockbuster finale, this time with added drama from the skies. The 2023 final between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings had to be pushed to the reserve day due to persistent rain - the first time such a move was needed in IPL history. When play finally resumed, it was a truncated contest. Despite a rain-shortened match, MS Dhoni's Super Kings emerged victorious via the DLS method, securing their fifth IPL title chasing down a shortened target of 171. The atmosphere was electric, as fans watched Dhoni lift the trophy once more in what many thought might be his final act on the IPL stage.

2025: A New Chapter Unfolds

Now, on June 3rd, 2025, the stadium is ready to witness another epic showdown. This time, it's Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings - two franchises that have long chased IPL glory without ever laying their hands on the trophy. Both teams are evenly matched, and both fanbases are desperate for that elusive first title.

Rain once again threatens to cast a shadow over the occasion, but a reserve day is in place to ensure the game reaches a conclusion. With over 100,000 seats and state-of-the-art facilities, the Narendra Modi Stadium is more than just a venue - it's a stage worthy of the biggest battles in T20 cricket.
