Did Phil Salt Just Catch IPL 2025 Final Trophy at Boundary Line? Virat Kohli's Reaction Viral

Phil Salt grabbed all the attention in the IPL 2025 Final with a jaw-dropping catch near the boundary line. His moment of brilliance came just when Royal Challengers Bengaluru needed a breakthrough, as Punjab Kings were off to a strong start chasing 191.

Priyansh Arya was looking sharp, smashing four boundaries in his 24-run knock off just 19 balls. But as he tried to pull a short ball from Josh Hazlewood, things changed. Arya mistimed it, and Salt was right there to grab the spotlight.

Phil Salt Delivers Unreal Catch At IPL 2025 Finals

Standing at deep square leg, Salt ran to his right, leapt in the air, and caught the ball. He was about to fall over the boundary, so he tossed it up, stepped back in, and finished the catch in style. The crowd roared.

It wasn’t just a good catch, but also a 'match-turning' moment that occurred as a saviour for RCB. Fans quickly compared it to Suryakumar Yadav’s famous catch in the 2024 T20 World Cup final. RCB got their first wicket at a crucial time, and the pressure shifted back to Punjab Kings.

Virat Kohli’s Roar Wins Hearts, But His Bat Falls Quiet

But Kohli’s performance with the bat didn’t match the energy. In his fourth IPL final, fans expected fireworks. Instead, he played a slow knock, scoring 43 runs off 35 balls at a strike rate of just 122. He only hit three fours before Azmatullah Omarzai sent him back to the dugout.

RCB needed quick runs, but Kohli couldn’t find the rhythm. His slow pace became a hot topic, especially in a final where every run mattered.
