Follow UsUnder new captain Rajat Patidar, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will hope to get their hands on the Indian Premier League (IPL) title for the first time. They have gotten close on a couple of occasions, but they have not gone all the way. In fact, the last time they made it to the final was back in 2016.
However, RCB put on an incredible show last season, winning six matches in a row to make the playoffs. RCB will be in action on the first day of IPL 2025 when they take on defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens.
RCB will hope to be at the same venue on May 25 for the IPL final.
