Former India cricketer Yograj Singh believes Punjab Kings can lift their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy by staging Royal Challengers Bengaluru's downfall in the final of the 18th season in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.

The pulsating contest in the world's biggest cricket stadium is expected to deliver a spectacle unlike the Qualifier 1 contest, which was one-way traffic in Bengaluru's favour. Yograj, who believes Punjab can pip RCB, emphasised the importance of franchise stalwart Virat Kohli's wicket, which could dictate the title's fate.

"If Punjab doesn't get Virat out, then they are in trouble. If he doesn't get out, then he can chase 250 or 300. I believe Punjab can win. The game is done if Virat doesn't get out in the first 10 overs. My senses say Punjab will win," Yograj told ANI.
