IPL 2025: 3 reasons why RCB will lift the title

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs, thanks to the Gujarat Titans’ win over Delhi Capitals. With a massive fanbase and a roster packed with top-tier talent, RCB has long been one of the IPL's most passionate and followed teams. After years of near misses, the 2025 season feels different.

This year, RCB has struck the perfect balance between youth and experience, with every player clearly understanding their role. The leadership group appears more focused than ever, guiding the squad with intent and clarity.

Backed by a rejuvenated lineup, sharper tactics, and growing momentum, here are three reasons why RCB is primed to lift the IPL 2025 trophy.

Here are three reasons why RCB will win IPL 2025:

1. Great Batting Unit Led by Virat Kohli 

Virat Kohli has been the driving force behind RCB’s dominant batting display. In top form, he’s scoring briskly while anchoring innings, supported by Phil Salt and Jacob Bethell’s explosive starts. With Kohli at the helm, the top order is playing with confidence and control.

Jitesh Sharma and Tim David have finished games with flair, while Devdutt Padikkal and Rajat Patidar have been solid in the middle order. Each batter knows their role, and the execution has been clinical. This mix of consistency and power makes RCB one of the most dangerous batting lineups in IPL 2025.

2. Josh Hazlewood-Led Bowling Unit Doing Maximum Damage 

Josh Hazlewood has transformed RCB’s bowling attack. His control in the powerplay and early wickets have rattled top orders, while the pace trio with Yash Dayal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar has kept opposition batters on the back foot.

Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma have provided vital breakthroughs in the middle overs with spin. The bowlers have adapted well to match situations, and their smart field placements and variations have helped them control games. This collective effort has been key to RCB’s resurgence.

3. RCB Has Luck on Their Side This Time 

This season, crucial moments—toss wins, deflections, and marginal calls—have gone RCB’s way. The team seems to have finally found the fortune that eluded them in past seasons.

With rival injuries and standout performances at key moments, the stars appear to be aligning. When skill meets luck, titles follow—and 2025 might finally be RCB’s year.
