WATCH: Phil Salt grabs stunning catch to dismiss Priyansh Arya in RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 final

RCB’s Phil Salt took a stunning catch at the deep square leg boundary to dismiss the well-set PBKS opener Priyansh Arya in the RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 final. The moment came on the sixth and last ball of the fifth over in the second innings during PBKS’ run chase. Josh Hazlewood bowled a ‘back of a length’ delivery to Arya, and the latter played it towards the deep square leg fence.

Salt made no mistake in executing a brilliantly juggled catch, avoiding a touch with the boundary line to save six runs and give a wicket on the same ball to his side in the high-octane IPL final.

The video of Phil Salt’s sensational catch to dismiss the young, in-form PBKS opener Priyansh Arya also went viral on social media as soon as it was shared by the IPL on their official X handle (formerly Twitter).

RCB moving to win the first IPL title

Speaking of the current action of the game, RCB are dominating the game, as PBKS still need 36 runs in the last 10 balls at the time fillings. The Punjab Kings are already 7 wickets down at the score of 155 runs in 18.2 overs. Shashank Singh and lower-order batter Kyle Jamieson are there in the middle at the individual scores of 32 and 0 runs, respectively.

Earlier in the innings, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh scored 24 and 26 runs, followed by Inglis’ 39 runs off 23 balls, with one four and four sixes. Nehal Wadhera could score only 15 runs off 18 balls, with a six.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya have scalped 2 wickets each for RCB in the second innings so far, alongside a wicket each picked by Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood, and Romario Shepherd.

RCB are currently moving towards their first-ever IPL title after a long wait of 17 years across 18 seasons.
