Josh Hazlewood’s remarkable record in tournament finals remains intact — the Australian pacer added yet another trophy to his glittering career as Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinched their maiden IPL title with a 6-run win over Punjab Kings in the 2025 final.
Hazlewood, who played a key role in RCB’s bowling effort on the night, continued an astonishing personal streak — he has never lost a final in any major tournament he has played.
A graphic shown during the broadcast highlighted Hazlewood’s unbeaten record in finals:

Known for his calm under pressure and consistent performances on big nights, Hazlewood once again delivered for his team when it mattered most. His spells through the middle and at the death were instrumental in restricting Punjab’s chase and ensuring RCB finally broke their IPL title drought.
With this latest win, Hazlewood further cements his reputation as one of cricket’s greatest big-match players — a bowler who simply doesn’t know how to lose in a final.
