As Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) square off in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday, some enthralling performances are expected to unfold in the closing ceremony. The 2-month-long cricketing extravaganza comes to a conclusion today, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also planning a tribute for the Indian Armed Forces, as a mark of gratitude for the successful Operation Sindoor. The closing ceremony of the 18th edition of the IPL, hence, is going to be extra special.
