Delhi: The first match of the ‘Post Operation Sindoor’ round of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, RCB vs. KKR rains may have been washed away by the spectators inside the stadium due to the rains of RCB vs KKR, but this rain brought RCB to the top in the points table and excluded the last season’s champion KKR from the play -off race. There is now 17 points left in 13 matches of RCB and one match against Lucknow Super Giants. So will they set a record of winning their first title this season? Virat Kohli’s crazy teams are hoping that after retiring from Test cricket, the IPL title will give the gift of victory. Is this possible?

The name of the team changed 2 times in the last 17 season

Didn’t RCB have done anything for a title so far? The name of the team changed 2 times in the last 17 seasons, changed 5 times, 165 players and changed 7-7 captains and chief coaches. Played the playoffs 9 times but could not win the title. This time won the match outside ‘Ghar’ and set a new record of not losing wickets in the first over of the innings. Actually, not winning his title was such a big record that whatever he kept doing, he did not get the right sense. For example, he is one of the best performing teams since 2020, played in playoffs in 4 of the last 5 seasons and now he has been very close to playing another playoffs.

All big players available for second round

So after all this, if they do not win the title even this season, will they be less than any ‘champion’? This situation did not come like this. RCB made the England team’s performance director Mo Bobat a new cricket director from 2024. The 40 -year -old Bobbat was with the England team for the last 4 years, identified such players and developed them who helped the team win the World Cup in 50 overs and 20 overs. He was also behind the success of Ben Stokes-Berndon McCullum’s captain-coach partnership. It was his intelligence that RCB made the least maze for this second round of the IPL season, the problem in the arrangement of foreign players. Almost all his big players are available for the second round.

Virat has scored 548 runs so far

Every eye is also directly on Virat Kohli. When the season started, he was an international player of two formats and is now an international player of a format. After independence from Test cricket, the desire to win the IPL title with RCB will definitely be a bigger inspiration for him and the focus will be more than before. The team has reached the finals three times, but it continued to get out of hand from the trophy. This time the intention of the team looks different. Virat himself is in the list of the most successful batsman of the season by scoring 548 runs.

Defeated CSK 2 times a season

Bowling unit and team bonding are also two special factors of good performance and that is why the team which is getting the most votes as contenders to win the title by this time is RCB. In Chinnaswamy, there is no joke to defend low scores like 150 and 136. Along with the new captain too, Chennai Super Kings were defeated twice a season, once in Chennai and the second time on the domestic ground, which is special in itself and is proof of the changing energy of the team.

Will RCB win IPL 2025?

So will RCB win its first IPL title this year? On social media, ‘E Sala Cup Namde’ slogan is echoing i.e. ‘This year, the cup is ours’. So even though they do not win the title in the end, they will definitely be proud that they should play like a champion team.
