At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 191 runs in the grand finale, ending their Indian Premier League 2025 title drought. The IPL 2025 winner, RCB, lifted this championship for the first time in their history and was rewarded with a sizable monetary prize.
The stakes are larger than ever this year, speaking of money. While the runners-up would receive Rs 13 crore, the IPL 2025 winners would receive an incredible Rs 20 crore. Even the two teams eliminated in the playoffs are expected to get large monetary rewards, so they won't go home empty-handed.
Krunal Pandya's outstanding figures of 2/17 in his four overs earned him the player of the match award. Shashank Singh smashed the most sixes and got the most fantasy points, but he also won a few match awards for playing a valiant fifty in a losing cause.
Sai Sudharsan dominated the season award ceremony, taking home the maximum boundaries, fantasy king, emerging player, and orange cap honours. He took home a hefty amount of Rs 40 lakhs in total for the same. After winning the Most Valuable Player title, Mumbai Indians star Suryakumar Yadav received an enormous sum of Rs 15 lakh. In 16 IPL innings, he scored 25 runs or more in each of his innings.
