Shane Watson has shared a video on social media, in which he predicted that this time the RCB trophy is going to win. He said, “Who will be the winner of IPL 2025? I have been thinking about it for a long time, I will be RCB champion in my eyes. For me, Man of the Match will be Virat Kohli.”

RCB will become the champion, the reason

Shane Watson said that this time he is predicting to become the champion of RCB. Some matches have been difficult for Bengaluru in the second half of the season, but Watson says that the return of Josh Hazlewood in the playoffs has strengthened the possibility of RCB becoming the champion this year.

Virat will become the final ‘player of the match’

Shane Watson predicted that Virat Kohli will become a player of the match in the final match. In IPL 2025, Virat Kohli has scored 602 runs in 13 matches played at an incredible average of 60.20. Virat has also spent the most fifty (8) this season. Let us know that this is the third consecutive season, when Virat has scored more than 600 runs in the IPL.

Bengaluru can play final after 9 years

Royal Challengers Bangalore last played the final match of IPL in 2016. After that RCB has reached the playoffs several times, but could not taste the final play. Now after 9 years, under the captaincy of Rajat Patidar, RCB can not only play the final of IPL for the fourth time but can do the trophy for the first time.

Punjab Kings are in second place, which currently has 17 points and the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are in third place, also have 17 points at the moment and one match remains. At the same time, the Mumbai Indians team, which confronted Punjab Kings, is in fourth place. Since the net run-rate of Mi is very good, he has a great chance to stay on top in the table.

The biggest fork in the path of Mi

Mumbai Indians are currently fourth with 16 points. Since Mumbai’s net run-rate is +1.292, if she wins today’s match, then the points will reach the top top of the table. To do this, he has to overcome the difficult challenge of Punjab Kings. The Punjab team itself is involved in the race to become a table topper. Punjab has 17 points after 8 wins in 13 matches and its net run-rate is +0.327.

Mumbai can become a table topper only when he defeated Punjab Kings today. He will also have to expect that RCB does not win the Lucknow Super Giants in his last league match. This will reduce the RCB 17 points while the Mi will finish the table with 18 points.

KKR Chief Executive Officer Venki Mysore questioned the time of the verdict and asked if the RCB vs KKR match could be amended in Bengaluru after the resumption of the IPL on 17 May, which was canceled due to rain. Mysore said in its email, “Although these mid-seas changes in the rules may be necessary under the circumstances, more stability can be expected in the way such changes to implement such changes.”

Why was IPL 2025 stopped?

On April 22, terrorists killed 26 people in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. In response, the Indian Army took a tough stand and run Operation Sindoor. The Indian Army had demolished several targets of terrorists including airbase in Pakistan. Even on 8 May, the army had stopped more than 50 Pakistan’s drones on the LoC on the LOC on the strengthening system.

Due to increasing tension between the two countries, the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match to be held in Dharamshala on 8 May was stopped in the middle. For this reason, BCCI took a big decision and suspended IPL 2025 for a week. After much deliberation, it was decided that the tournament will start again from May 17 and now the final match will be played on June 3 instead of 25 May.

RCB vs kkr ipl 2025: The IPL 2025 is returning after suspension and the first match will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. The match is to be held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. By registering another win, RCB’s eyes will be focused on confirming a place in the playoffs (RCB Playoff Scenario). Meanwhile, there are many such KKR players, which can become a problem for Bengaluru. Let us tell you that after 2015, RCB has never been able to beat Kolkata at Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Ajinkya Rahane

KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane is the highest run -scorer for his team in IPL 2025. Rahane is one of the batsmen who scored the most runs against RCB in IPL history. He has so far scored 801 runs against Bengaluru. RCB bowlers will have to stay away from Rahane.

Varun chakravarti

Varun Chakraborty, known as ‘Mystery Spinner’, can create a bed of good batsmen. He has taken 17 wickets in 12 matches so far and also has the top wicket of KKR in the season. RCB batsmen will have to stay away from Chakravarti’s spin.

Sunil Naren

Sunil Naren, one of the highest wicket -taking bowlers in the Indian Premier League history, has taken 190 wickets so far. IPL 2025 may not have been very good for them, but they can prove fatal to RCB with both balls and bat. Bangalore bowlers will have to ensure that they dismiss Naren quickly, while the RCB batsmen will have to be careful against their spinning balls. Naren has so far taken 27 wickets against RCB.

Harshit Rana

Harshit Rana has become one of the main players of KKR in a short time. His great form continues in IPL 2025, where 15 wickets have been taken in 12 matches. When Harshit Rana played at the last time at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, he proved to be a little expensive but was also very effective with 2 wickets.

Andre Russell

In IPL 2025, Andre Russell has scored 167 runs while batting so far and has also taken 8 wickets. His record against RCB has been quite good. His strike rate against Bengaluru is 198, while he also has 17 wickets against this team.
