IPL 2025 Comes To An End
In a night that will go down as one of the most iconic in IPL history, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) finally laid their hands on the elusive IPL trophy—ending an 18-year wait that spanned heartbreaks, near-misses, and relentless memes. Facing off against the Punjab Kings in a pulsating final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, RCB roared to victory with a convincing 6-run win. The undisputed Player of the Match was Kundal Pandya, who unleashed an all-round masterclass—and snaring 2 vital wickets in a fiery spell that shattered Punjab’s chase. With the crowd on its feet and the chants of “Ee Sala Cup Namde” finally fulfilled, the night was drenched in red, fireworks, and redemption.
Throughout the 2025 campaign, RCB’s charge was led by the ever-consistent Virat Kohli, who once again proved why he’s the backbone of the franchise. Scoring over 650 runs with poise and passion, Kohli set the tone for the team’s dominance. Supporting him was young sensation Riyan Parag, whose aggressive middle-order cameos often turned the tide, and pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who delivered death overs with icy calm. But it was the surprise package—Kundal Pandya—who emerged as RCB’s X-factor, rising to the occasion in crucial matches and peaking at just the right moment. This wasn’t just a victory—it was a resurrection, a roar long silenced, finally unleashed.
