Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have made history by winning the IPL 2025 title. After an 18-year-long wait, RCB finally got their hands on the coveted IPL trophy. In the final, RCB’s bowlers put in a remarkable performance. Batting first, Bengaluru posted a total of 190 runs against Punjab Kings.
