IPL 2025 Final RCB vs pbks: As the final of IPL 2025 is getting closer, the thrill of fans has reached its peak. Before the final, a big concern has come to light for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The team’s dhakad opener Phil is not seen in the practice session, which has intensified the speculation about not playing in their finals. Let us tell you that Phil Salat has scored half-century in the match against Qualifier-1. Now the title match of Royal Challengers Bangalore is against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad tonight.
Salt is missing in practice session
On Monday, the RCB team participated in the last practice session in Ahmedabad before the final, but Phil Salat did not appear on the ground during this period. According to the report of ESPN Cricinfo, Salt has returned to his wife to England, who is going to be a mother soon. However, there is no official confirmation from RCB or BCCI about whether the salt will play in the final.
RCB’s strategy may shock
Phil Silet has performed tremendously for RCB in IPL 2025. He has scored 387 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 175.90. His average has been 35.18 in this entire season. The special thing is that by opening with Phil Salat, Virat Kohli, he has given the team explosive start many times. In the first qualifier against Punjab, she also had a fast -paced fifty, which gave RCB a strong position and RCB won that match.
Question on coach Andy Flower’s strategy
RCB’s team management has not yet made any official confirmation on this subject. RCB’s head coach Andy Flower also often maintains mystery till the last time regarding the availability of players. They do not public the position of the player to keep the opposition team confused so that the opposition team does not get any benefit. In such a situation, suspense on the presence of Salt before the final can also be a part of this strategy.
Virat Kohli will increase pressure
Virat Kohli and Phil are the star opener of RCB. Both of them have always given the team a balanced and fast start. In such a situation, if Phil Salat stays out of the final match, then the responsibility will increase further on Virat Kohli’s shoulders.
Now it has to be seen whether the Salt playing 11 during the toss on Tuesday or not, It will also be interesting to see which player gives a chance to the opening slot in this position and will that player be able to get an effective start like Salt., If not, So this can be a relief for Punjab and a big shock for RCB,
