Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the teams with a roster boasting big names, yet they have not clinched an IPL trophy. Despite reaching the finals three times, they faltered at the final hurdle on each occasion. Similarly, Punjab Kings have yet to secure an IPL title. Their closest brush with victory was in the IPL 2014 season, where they ended up as runners-up after losing to KKR in the finals. However, since 2014, they have failed to qualify for the playoffs even once. In IPL 2023, RCB emerged victorious over PBKS in their sole league phase encounter in Mohali.
All-Time Top Performers
In clashes between these teams in the IPL, Chris Gayle stands out as the top run-scorer with 873 runs, having represented both sides. He is closely followed by Virat Kohli with 938 runs, AB de Villiers with 718 runs, and KL Rahul with 517 runs. Yuzvendra Chahal leads the bowling charts with an impressive tally of 25 wickets, followed by Sandeep Sharma with 16 wickets and Piyush Chawla with 15 wickets.
Last Season’s Encounter Between Bangalore and Punjab
RCB and PBKS clashed in the 6th match of IPL 2024 in Bengaluru, where the home team emerged victorious, defeating the Kings by 4 wickets. PBKS batted first and posted a total of 176/6 in their allotted 20 overs. Shikhar Dhawan, Prabhsimran Singh, and Jitesh Sharma contributed with scores of 47, 25, and 26 runs respectively. In response, Virat Kohli’s impressive knock of 77 runs off 49 balls, coupled with Dinesh Karthik’s quickfire 28* off just 10 balls, helped Bangalore chase down the target and secure the win.
