RCB IPL 2025 Title Win Reactions: Royal Challengers Bengaluru handed Punjab Kings a 6-run defeat in the Indian Premier League 2025 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday to win their first IPL trophy as the league got a new champion in RCB. The Rajat Patidar-led RCB was one notch above another trophy-less side, PBKS, which failed to chase 191 on a tricky surface.
Virat Kohli’s hunger and wait for this elusive trophy also ended with what will be a famous win in Ahmedabad. RCB, en route to the historic title, also became the only team in the history of the IPL to have won all away games in a season. They finished second behind Punjab in the standings and beat them in the first qualifier by eight wickets before beating them again in the finals.
Since RCB won their first IPL trophy, reactions from the cricketing and the whole sporting fraternity have been pouring in. Here are some of the reactions:
Congratulations to @RCBTweets on their first-ever IPL title. Fitting that jersey no. 18 lifts the trophy in the 18th edition.
