Suresh Raina, a former cricket player for India, thinks RCB could win their first IPL championship in 2025. Raina asserted that the three-time finalists have been participating in another league during the current season and appear destined to make it all the way to the end before the 18th edition of the league resumes.
According to the former CSK player, RCB’s bowling has been crucial to their success in the 2025 Indian Premier League. Speaking on RCB defeating CSK in both of their games under Rajat Patidar’s leadership, he called it a noteworthy accomplishment. Notably, RCB has defeated CSK by a double for the first time in the league’s history.
Since Royal Challengers Bengaluru is participating in a different league this season, there are good odds. At Chinnaswamy, they have defended scores of 150 and 136, and their bowling unit has performed admirably. Raina stated on Star Sports, “The fact that the new captain has defeated the Chennai Super Kings twice—once at home and once in Chennai—speaks volumes.”
Virat may finally be able to raise the trophy this year: Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina went on to say that the RCB dressing room culture seems upbeat and that it is an indication of a club that can win. While acknowledging that teams like the Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans, and Punjab Kings have been playing well, Raina went on to say that he believes Kohli and the RCB will break their 18-year drought this year.
“The positive vibes in the dressing room are indicative of a team that has the potential to succeed.” Yes, the Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, and Mumbai Indians are all performing well, but it may be Virat’s year to win the trophy after eighteen years,” Suresh Raina continued.
In the 58th match of the IPL 2025, which is scheduled to continue following the league’s temporary hiatus brought on by tensions between India and Pakistan, RCB will play KKR. According to the weather forecast, rain may have an impact on the game at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
