The duo of Kohli and Shastri goes a long way, forming a terrific combo as captain and head coach, respectively, for Team India between 2017 and 2021.
Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer won the Toss and elected to bowl first in the finals. Batting first, RCB posted 190/9 in 20 overs, which included powerful knocks from Virat Kohli in the beginning and Jitesh Sharma towards the end of the innings.
Chasing 191, PBKS couldn't catch up with the momentum and failed to touch the mark, ultimately losing by 6 runs.
