The wait is over, and the heartbeat of Bangalore is alive again at home ground. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) finally ended their home-ground misery by clinching their first win at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in IPL 2025, defeating Rajasthan Royals in a high-voltage encounter. After three back-to-back home losses to Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Punjab Kings, this win couldn’t have come at a better time.
Before this much-needed win, the Royal Challengers had found themselves stuck in a nightmare at home. The atmosphere at Chinnaswamy had been tense, as RCB endured defeats against Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Punjab Kings in front of their home fans. Each match left supporters heartbroken and doubting whether the red army could defend their home turf.
But on this electric night in Bangalore, RCB turned the tide, putting in a complete performance with both bat and ball. The fans had been waiting, the players had been under pressure — and finally, the breakthrough came.
RCB’s innings was anchored by a masterclass from Virat Kohli, who played a scintillating knock of 70 runs off 42 balls, reminding everyone why he’s still the heartbeat of the franchise. Star Batter Devdatt Padikkal provided a solid foundation with a classy 50, and together, they set the stage for a competitive total at Chinnaswamy — a venue known for thrilling run-fests.
The middle-order also stepped up, showing much-needed stability and intent, which had been missing in earlier matches.
If the batting was sharp, the bowling was even sharper. At one stage, when the match seemed to be slipping away from the target, Hazlewood's spell got RBC back in the game and the spin and death bowling departments also put up a valiant performance, with Yash Dayal bowling crucial overs under pressure to finish the game. The team's bowling unit finally performed well on home turf and played a key role in the team's first win on home turf
This win is not just an end to their losing streak at home - it is another big step closer to the qualifiers RCB's IPL 2025 campaign is going great. And now RCB will need 2 wins out of 5 to qualify which looks very easy considering the current form.
Virat Kohli said after the match, "We are doing all this for our fans. They have supported us in tough matches and tonight we gave them a reason to celebrate."
RCB are now set for a crucial match against Delhi Capitals, but they will fly from Bangalore to Delhi with new energy and vigour
