Ahmedabad: Some stories run bigger than sports. For years, there was a debate on whether Lionel Messi would win the World Cup. Will the talented pair of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown bear the NBA Trophy? Will Rory McClero be able to complete a career Grand Slam? As it turned out, they were all to win the final award in their game. Messi went to win the World Cup in 2022, Tatam and Brown directed Boston Celtics to a record-setting 18th NBA Championships in 2024, while McCallroy won Masters to earn a career grand slam this year. A similar story is taking shape here before the IPL final between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBK).

Mayank Agarwal is stable at number 3 and is followed by Captain Rajat Patidar. The word skipper has been aggressive from Go.His ability to take spinners will be important against leg -spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Liam Livingstone’s trio, wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma and all -rounder Romario Shepherd provided fireworks under the order.

Iyer is the glue that binds the team. Their peace will be important for this team. Australia’s head Pacer Josh Hazlewood, Pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal, will see PBKS to test the top order.
