Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had another thrilling and emotional ride in IPL 2025 with fans constantly attached to the edge of their seats. Expectations were high with new leadership and young players, and RCB delivered a season full of great moments, some heartbreaks, and a glimpse into a bright future. At LiveCricket we watched every game closely, and here is an in depth recap of RCB's 2025 IPL campaign.
RCB's IPL 2025 journey began disappointingly. Their batting looked weak during the early games, and the bowlers struggled in the death overs. But mid season was a different story. Ably led by captain Faf du Plessis and with some explosive performances from Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell, the team had fought their way back into playoff contention.
Virat Kohli's brilliant century against Kolkata Knight Riders was one of the highlights of the season and a reminder to all that the man is still among the greatest to ever play the game. His form became a major topic of conversation on LiveCricket, particularly since he had announced that this might be his last IPL season, to the shock of supporters and media headlines alike.
Star Performers
Sai Sudharsan may have taken the overall run charts, but Dinesh Karthik was turning heads with his finishing performances for RCB. The bowlers were led by Mohammed Siraj and Karn Sharma for some of the match winning spells they bowled in key games, providing the team with essential balance.
For the LiveCricket followers, there was a big buzz around young Rajan Kumar, who had emerged as a new prospect for the team with his pace and control. His 3 wickets in 4 overs against the Rajasthan Royals mid season had helped shape the team's late charge in the season and belief that they could rely on him in tough situations.
Playoff Miss and What to Look Forward to
With the team's late charge in form, RCB fell short of the playoffs, finishing 5th on the points table with 7 wins from their 14 games played. RCB were continuing to add to their IPL trophy drought. They had planned to have a huge emotional farewell at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium for Kohli in their last home game; this was one of the most watched events on LiveCricket.
Conclusion
Though RCB didn’t walk away with hardware in its 2025 campaign, there's a spark of hope that many have taken from it. With young stars emerging, veterans playing well, and a fanbase that has never wavered, there’s plenty of opportunity in front of them. At LiveCricket, we will continue to monitor RCB's progress, the big transfers coming up before the 2026 season, and the inevitable leadership change that could sway the future of RCB.
