RCB IPL 2025: Royal Challengers Bangalore has played three IPL finals in its history so far, but has missed the trophy on all three occasions.
It looks like the 17-year wait might finally be coming to an end. The cup may finally be coming home!
Royal Challengers Bangalore are now just two wins away from becoming IPL champions and only one win away from reaching the final.
The way King Kohli’s Team is playing this season, it feels like the trophy is heading home. And this isn’t just a hopeful statement—there are three solid reasons behind this belief.
A Well-Rounded Batting Line-up Of RCB
In the past few seasons, Challengers’s batting was heavily dependent on Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell. However, this season has seen a shift in that trend.
Every batsman has stepped up and shown his class, playing match-winning innings whenever the team needed it.
Players like Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, Jitesh Sharma, along with Tim David and Devdutt Padikkal, have all emerged as new match-winners in different games.
Time for a Change In RCB Squad
Bangalore entered Qualifier-1 after pulling off the biggest run chase in their IPL history.
They’ve become the first team to win all their away matches (seven in total) in a single season.
These stats strongly indicate that something big and better is on the horizon.
The win against Punjab last night has infused new energy and confidence into the team.
Finding Rhythm in Tough Situations
Champion teams are expected to win under any circumstance—and this season, This Team has done just that.
In the match against CSK, they had to defend 213 runs. At one point, Chennai had scored 172 runs for 3 wickets in 16 overs, but Rcbians maintained their composure and capitalized on key moments to win the match by 2 runs.
That is the mindset of champions, and it’s a major reason why Challengers can win the IPL title.
Bangalore Team was facing concerns about player injuries going into the final stages of the tournament, but most of those issues now seem resolved.
Especially, Pacer Josh Hazlewood is expected to be fully fit, and Tim David will also be available for selection, which adds more balance to the squad.
