Phil Salat has scored an average of 387 runs in 12 matches for RCB at an average of 387, and this is important for team opportunities in the IPL 2025 finals.
There has been a lot of confusion surrounding RCB opener Phil Salt’s participation in the IPL 2025 final vs PBKS, in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. As per a report in ESPNCricinfo, the batter had flown back home for the birth of his child. But now, a fresh update from the publication claims, that he is back in India for the summit clash.
Phil Salt Back for IPL 2025 Final
Salt has been an exceptional performer for RCB this year, and has scored 387 runs in 12 matches for the side. That has come at an average of 35, and a strike-rate of 175.90, including four fifties. In fact, he was excellent in qualifier 1 vs PBKS last week, where he went on to score 56 in just 27 deliveries.
No Clarity on Tim David
It was post that, that he headed back home for the birth of his child. Having said that, RCB could still be missing Tim David, owing to an injury. The towering player has been the go-to player for Bengaluru, when it comes to a finisher. This year in 12 matches, he has scored 187 runs at an average of 62 and a strike-rate of 185.
He had missed the qualifier 1 due to the same injury. Meanwhile, once again all eyes will be on Virat Kohli, and how he performs. Fans from all over India would be hoping that the legend secures his first-ever IPL title. The 36-year-old had previously come close to the IPL trophy thrice, but RCB lost all three finals.
