The wait is over, folks! After 18 long years of heartbreaks, close calls, and meme-worthy moments, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have finally lifted their first-ever IPL trophy! And leading them to glory was none other than the quiet warrior himself — Rajat Patidar, a man of few words but steel nerves.

RCB beat Punjab Kings by six runs in a nerve-shredding final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, making it a night to remember for fans all over the world.

Patidar’s Ice-Cold Captaincy

While Punjab Kings had their eyes on the prize, Captain Patidar and his crew had other plans. RCB kept the pressure on, never letting PBKS breathe. Wickets kept falling, the chase got tight, and in the end — RCB sealed the deal by just six runs.

First Innings Recap: Kohli Sets the Stage

RCB batted first and put up 190/9, with Virat Kohli once again leading from the front, smashing a stylish *48*. It wasn’t a monster score, but it was enough — especially with the way RCB bowled and fielded like their lives depended on it.

Four’s A Charm!

Let’s not forget — RCB had made it to the final three times before (2009, 2011, and 2016) and lost each one. But 2025? This was THEIR year.

Meanwhile, Punjab Kings faced heartbreak again. This was their second IPL final, and sadly, their second loss.

This wasn’t just a win, it was a story of redemption, passion, loyalty, and never giving up. For every fan who stood by RCB through thick and thin, this one’s for you!
