The wait is over! After playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for 18 long years, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally won their first IPL trophy. The grand final happened on June 3, 2025, at the big Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, and it was full of excitement, cheering, and even a few tears.
🏏 The Big Match: RCB vs PBKS
RCB played against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final. Both teams were ready to give their best, but only one could take the cup home. RCB batted first and scored 175 runs. Star player Virat Kohli played like a true champion, scoring 43 runs. Fans in the stadium shouted his name with every boundary he hit!

When it was PBKS’s turn to bat, the match got really tense. They were chasing 176 runs, and at one point, it looked like they might win. But then came Krunal Pandya, RCB’s secret weapon! He bowled amazingly well and took important wickets. His smart bowling helped stop PBKS just 6 runs short of the target.
😍 Kohli’s Dream Comes True
After the final wicket, the whole stadium erupted in joy! Virat Kohli, who has been with RCB since the beginning, had tears in his eyes. For years, fans made fun of RCB for never winning the IPL, even though they had big stars. But this time, the team played like true heroes and made history.
