Virat Kohli’s commanding knock helped Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeat Punjab Kings (PBKS) in what turned out to be the final IPL match at Mullanpur Stadium.

With a crisp 67th IPL fifty, Kohli once again proved why he’s the face of Indian cricket. But while RCB celebrated a crucial win, PBKS and their fans were left nursing the sting of another underwhelming performance—and a final goodbye to their home turf.

What does this mean for fans? For RCB supporters, it’s a hopeful nudge toward playoffs. For PBKS, it’s more frustration in a season full of misfires. For Mullanpur? A bittersweet goodbye to the IPL stage—just as it was finding its rhythm.

Kohli’s Classic: A Masterclass in Pressure Play

Virat Kohli was clinical. Focused. Fluid. Every drive and flick had intent. He played the field like a chessboard—picking gaps, rotating strike, and then upping the ante. This wasn’t just another half-century. It was a statement. His 67th IPL 50+ score came when his team needed a hero—and once again, Kohli answered.

  • Strategic Brilliance: Kohli took calculated risks that paid off.
  • Signature Style: Those cover drives? Still dreamy.
  • Composure Under Fire: Even when PBKS tightened the screws, he didn’t flinch.

Mullanpur might not see IPL action again soon, but it sure got a proper send-off from one of cricket’s all-time greats.

PBKS’s Painful Pattern Continues

For Punjab Kings, this game was déjà vu. Another match, another misfire. Despite having a deep squad, PBKS couldn’t get their batting or bowling to click. Errors in the field, lackluster shot selection, and inconsistent strategy left fans frustrated.

And this wasn’t just any loss. It was their last home game at Mullanpur—a new venue that barely had time to build memories.

PBKS now exits their home turf without a signature win there. Not a stat you’d want in your franchise history.

Farewell Mullanpur: What’s Next for the Stadium?

Mullanpur Stadium’s brief stint in the IPL is over, but it’s not fading into silence. The venue will now shift focus to hosting ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup league matches, including the grand final in October-November.

That’s a big deal. Indian fans will get to see world-class women cricketers, and the region will shine on the global stage once more—this time in a new avatar. Learn more about the upcoming Women’s World Cup schedule here.

Playoff Hopes vs. Planning for Next Year

For RCB, this win means survival. It keeps them alive in the playoff race. But they’ll need to build on this momentum and continue strong performances—especially from leaders like Kohli.

For PBKS, the focus now shifts to regrouping. It’s been a season of missed opportunities. They need to reflect, fix flaws, and foster a culture of consistency. Maybe the absence of home pressure next year will help.

As Kohli gears up for global tournaments, including the upcoming World Cup, fans can only hope his form holds. Because if there’s one thing India loves more than chai—it’s Kohli scoring runs.

Legacy of the Night: A Tale of Two Journeys

This match was more than just cricket. It was a story of contrasting fortunes:

  • RCB rose with class and clarity.
  • PBKS sank with confusion and chaos.
  • Mullanpur bowed out, leaving fans with memories—and a little heartbreak.

But such is the IPL. Unpredictable. Emotional. And always full of surprises.
