After 18 years of waiting, jokes, and the famous chant “Ee Sala Cup Namde,” Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have finally won the Indian Premier League 2025 season. On June 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, RCB beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a close final to lift their first IPL trophy. This win was not just about the trophy. It was about proving they could do it, making fans proud, and giving Virat Kohli the one thing he had been waiting for.
After being asked to bat first, RCB scored 190 runs for nine wickets. Kohli was the top scorer with 43 runs from 35 balls. Other players like Patidar, Salt, Romario Shepherd, Livingstone, Jitesh, and Agarwal played small but useful innings. For Punjab, Arshdeep Singh took three wickets for 40 runs and Kyle Jamieson picked up three for 48, both did well to slow down the scoring.
