Royal Charalers Bengaluru IPL 2025 won

Under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, Royal Challengers Bengaluru performed an exceptional performance in the Indian Premier League 2025 and ended the league stage in second place. They won nine out of 14 games and had 19 points and a net operating rate of 0.301.

In Qualifiers 1, Royal Challengers Bengaluru scored a dominant victory over the Punjab kings led by Shers Air, and at the top of the clash, they closed the centuries with the same team.

In the IPL 2025 Final on Tuesday, June 3, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmed Abad, RCB show a wonderful brand of the cricket game and published 190/9 on the blackboard after choosing the bats first, thanks to the decisive contributions of all players.

Then they restricted the Punjab kings to 7/184 to achieve a 6 -run win and end their dryness on the IPL title and move a cup after 18 years.

After winning the championship for the first time, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team announced a winning procession in Bangaluru as well as other festive events.

They got a great welcome in the city, but things became tragic outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. A fatal stampede occurred on June 4, 2025, eleven people were killed and 56 others were injured.

If RCB wants to sell, they will be stupid – Lalit Modi

In his last interaction with Michael Clark, the IPL Lalit Modi founder shared his ideas about rumors selling the Royal Challengers Bengaluu (RCB).

He said that Royal Challeners Bengaluru (RCB) obtained a wonderful fan base, and they must sell the concession only if they get a billion dollar offer or less than that, because their evaluation will only grow in the coming years.

“We (IPL) are only 18 years old. We have just started the next fan, we have just started frenzy. It was unfortunate what happened with Stampeed in Karnataka after RCB’s victory,” Modi said during his talk to Michael Clark.

“If the RCB wants to sell, they will be stupid to sell it for less than two billion dollars. If this is the next year, then 2.5 billion, and if that is after two years, that will be 3 billion, and if that is after four years, then four billion dollars. Take it in my book.”
