The wait ended for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans as the franchise finally got their hands on the coveted trophy after edging out the Punjab Kings by six runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. As a result, the players will be involved in a victory parade in Bengaluru on June 4.

Although the Punjab Kings had given themselves more than a promising start, the middle overs derailed them and eventually they fell six runs short of the target.
