IPL 2025: 3 reasons why RCB will win the title

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) would be satisfied with the kind of squad that they built in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. RCB in the past have been guilty of going after star players a lot and thereby compromising on the balance of their side. 

However, this time there was a certain method to their buys in the auction and they have managed to bring balance to their setup. On that note, let's take a look at three reasons why RCB can finally end their trophy drought in IPL 2025:

1. Power-packed batting line-up

RCB managed to get the services of Phil Salt in the IPL 2025 auction as he would form a formidable opening partnership with Virat Kohli. Salt was one of the main reasons why the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the IPL in 2024 and he would be keen to bring the same to the table for RCB. 

Bengaluru has also invested heavily in the likes of Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David. With the retention of Rajat Patidar, Bengaluru has that balance needed in their batting line-up.

2. Well-balanced pace attack

RCB did let go of Mohammed Siraj but managed to bag the services of Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the IPL 2025 season. They also bought back Josh Hazlewood, someone who has done well for them in the past. 

Both Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood form a formidable new-ball partnership that could go a long way in helping RCB get the right start with the ball. They also have death bowling sorted with the duo and the likes of Nuwan Thushara in the ranks. 

3. Lack of over-dependence on Virat Kohli

Arguably the biggest reason why RCB could win the title in IPL 2025 is because of the team they have formed around their star batter, Virat Kohli. Kohli scored 741 runs in IPL 2024 and helped RCB qualify for the Eliminator. 

However, this time he has a lot of resources around him both in batting and bowling that could ensure that he is not left alone to do the heavy lifting. With rumors of him taking over as captain of the side again, IPL 2025 could be the year Kohli finally adds the IPL trophy to his cabinet.

In conclusion, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have strategically built a well-balanced squad in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, addressing past issues and creating a team capable of winning the title. With a power-packed batting line-up, a well-balanced pace attack, and reduced dependence on Virat Kohli, RCB is poised to end their trophy drought this season. Fans can look forward to an exciting and competitive performance from RCB in IPL 2025.
