"RCB Breaks the Curse: Maiden IPL Glory in 2025"

In an electrifying showdown at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) etched their name into IPL history by clinching their first-ever title—ending an 18-year journey of close calls and heartbreaks. Led by Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar, RCB posted 190/9, with Kohli’s composed 43 anchoring the innings. It was a clutch bowling performance from Krunal Pandya (Player of the Match) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar that ultimately sealed a narrow 6-run win over a spirited Punjab Kings side. Emotions ran high as Kohli shed tears of joy, symbolizing the end of a long-sought dream for both the franchise and its ardent fans.
