The IPL 2025 final was nothing short of a thriller. Batting first, RCB posted a fighting total of 190/9 on the board. While it wasn’t a massive total by T20 standards, the team’s spirit and discipline made it feel like a mountain.
Virat Kohli: 43 runs (35 balls) – The heartbeat of the franchise, playing a calm and mature knock under pressure.
Rajat Patidar (Captain): Played a crucial role as leader and finisher throughout the tournament.
Mohammed Siraj & Josh Hazlewood: Held their nerve in the final overs with tight bowling and crucial breakthroughs.
In reply, Punjab Kings fought hard, with Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone taking charge, but RCB's bowlers held their nerves. PBKS needed 10 runs in the last over, but Hazlewood’s death-over brilliance secured RCB’s historic win.
For Virat Kohli — who has been the face of RCB since its inception — the moment was more than just a victory. It was an emotional climax to nearly two decades of unrelenting commitment. As the final wicket fell, Kohli was seen in tears, embraced by teammates, fans, and cricket lovers around the globe.
His loyalty, leadership, and passion finally found reward — Virat Kohli is now an IPL champion.
As soon as RCB lifted the trophy, Bengaluru city erupted in joy. Fans poured onto the streets, waving flags, chanting slogans, and lighting up fireworks. Social media exploded with the hashtags:
#RCBChamps
#EeSalaCupNamde2025
#KohliLiftsTheTrophy
From MG Road to Indiranagar, from café screens to college hostels — the entire state of Karnataka and RCB fans across the globe celebrated like never before.
RCB’s journey to this win was not easy. Over the years, they were often trolled as the "underachievers" of the IPL. Despite having legends like AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, and Kohli, the team fell short again and again — reaching three finals before 2025 but never crossing the line.
But this season, things clicked:
Balanced Squad: A perfect mix of youth and experience.
Smart Captaincy: Rajat Patidar’s leadership brought fresh energy.
Consistent Performance: Winning key matches under pressure.
This win isn’t just a title — it’s the beginning of a new era for RCB.
With this victory, RCB has officially removed the “chokers” tag and added a golden chapter to their legacy. Kohli’s name, already written in the stars, now has an IPL trophy to shine even brighter.
To every fan who chanted "Ee Sala Cup Namde" for 17 years — this season, the cup truly became ours.
RCB's win is a story of faith, loyalty, and passion. It proves that perseverance pays off — whether in cricket or in life. As we close the curtain on IPL 2025, one thing is clear: RCB is no longer just a fan-favorite — they are CHAMPIONS.
Congratulations RCB! ???
