Virat Kohli has shared his thoughts on the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s momentous win in the IPL 2025, asserting that their championship was a deserved achievement rather than mere luck. The former captain of RCB underscored the team’s composure leading up to the final and their self-belief in rightfully reaching the final match. On June 3, 2025, RCB clinched their first IPL title by narrowly defeating Punjab Kings by just six runs in a gripping final held in Ahmedabad. Facing the final with a mix of confidence and caution, the team was determined to overcome their history of near misses.

Kohli’s Insights on the Final

In a video released on RCB’s official social media platforms, Kohli expressed his sentiments about their approach to the title decider. He remarked, “To be very honest, when we reached the finals, I felt a sense of calm confidence. But you also understand it’s not going to be easy; it’s a final, and there’s another team who’s played exceptionally well to arrive here as well, and they have their own confidence.” Kohli acknowledged the pressure of their past defeats and the motivation that those experiences provided for the team as they aimed for a different outcome this time around.

Team Effort and Key Performances

The road to victory for RCB in the IPL 2025 was characterized by contributions from all players rather than reliance on a few standout performers. Phil Salt notably set the tone with explosive openings, while Krunal Pandya delivered essential performances with both bat and ball. The bowling lineup, spearheaded by seasoned bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, excelled in high-pressure moments, ensuring tight control when needed the most.

Strategic Guidance and Adaptability

Under the leadership of head coach Andy Flower, RCB demonstrated enhanced tactical awareness and versatility throughout the tournament. One significant aspect of their campaign was their improved performance in away matches, allowing them to overcome previous inconsistencies. This newfound reliability proved crucial during the finale as RCB managed to maintain their composure and secured the title they had long sought after.
