            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/06/abdrcb.webp" width="1200" height="675" alt="abdrcb.webp"/><p>The <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/rcb-head-of-marketing-out-on-an-interim-bail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)</a> scripted history by securing their maiden IPL title win in the 2025 season. The Bengaluru-based outfit emerged triumphant in the summit clash against Punjab Kings (PBKS), beating them by a margin of six runs to lay their hands on the prestigious trophy. </p><p>Needless to say, the fans went over the one following RCB's maiden title win. The level of excitement was clearly evident on the faces of the RCB players as well, who had put everything on the line to produce such a spectacular end result. Meanwhile, RCB's well-wishers, primarily comprising South African great <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/ab-de-villiers-44936" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AB De Villiers</a> and Chris Gayle, were in attendance at the Narendra Modi stadium to witness the high-voltage showdown. </p><p>Following the win, De Villiers shared a very interesting incident that occurred to him while he was celebrating along with the team. </p><p><strong>See also: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/rcb-to-be-banned-from-ipl-know-if-is-it-true-or-not/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCB to be banned from IPL? Know if is it true or not</a><br></p><h3>De Villiers hesitant at first to lift the trophy</h3><p>Being a former player of the RCB, it was a special moment for De Villiers to see his former franchise rise to the top. At the time of celebration, the South African legend found himself next to his former comrades. Following the end of the post-match presentation ceremony, it was time for the RCB team to lift the IPL trophy with their heads held high. </p><p>While everyone was busy posing with the trophy, De Villiers initially felt reluctant to lift the trophy or get anywhere close to it. His inner conscience made him think whether it would be appropriate for him to get his hands on the trophy since he had no role to play both on the field as well as off the field. But Virat's suggestion changed it all. He invited him to lift the trophy and asked him not to have any worries. And as fate would have it, both players got the opportunity to lift the trophy together. </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ab De Villiers said - "I was hesitant to lift the IPL Trophy because I didn't really play this season, Am I really part of this? But Virat Kohli told me touch the Trophy and you lift the trophy with me". <a href="https://t.co/yUYPO6xm2m">pic.twitter.com/yUYPO6xm2m</a></p>— Tanuj (@ImTanujSingh) <a href="https://twitter.com/ImTanujSingh/status/1935609810394943904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 19, 2025</a></blockquote><p>At last, RCB's thirst for a maiden IPL title win was fulfilled. Virat played an instrumental role in taking his side to glory as he finished as the highest run scorer for the franchise with 657 runs, averaging 54.75. De Villiers was also a true servant for the RCB and did wonders for them across several seasons. Although he could not make them win a title, De Villiers would be mighty pleased to see that the dream has finally turned into a reality. </p>]]></content:encoded>

            <description><![CDATA[The article highlights the five best performers who played a key role during the 2025 IPL season for RCB, helping the team win its first IPL trophy.]]></description>
            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/06/4.Liam-Livinstone (England vs Pakistan - 2021- 122 Meters) (42).webp" width="1280" height="720" alt="5 RCB players who played crucial role in RCB winning IPL 2025"/><p>Royal Challengers Bangalore finally ended its wait for an IPL trophy after 18 years. The franchise has witnessed some of the best players in their dugout every season, but has failed to win the trophy. The 2025 season was a special one for RCB, and the team produced a collective effort. Every player stepped up during demanding situations, whether it was the experience of <strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-virat-kohli-super-fan-performs-blood-tilak-on-poster-after-rcb-won-their-maiden-ipl-title/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a></strong> and Josh Hazlewood or Jitesh Sharma's aggressive batting and Krunal Pandya's clever off-spin.</p><p>New skipper Jitesh Sharma showcased tremendous calmness under pressure and made clever bowling changes depending on the batting team's strengths. In this piece, we discuss five players who played a big role in helping the team win the IPL trophy for the first time. We discuss these five players in detail:</p><h3><strong>1. Virat Kohli</strong></h3><p><strong><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/06/4.Liam-Livinstone (England vs Pakistan - 2021- 122 Meters) (37).webp" alt="Virat Kohli" width="1280" height="720" loading="lazy"></strong></p><p>'King Kohli' was again the core of the <strong><a href="https://www.royalchallengers.com/rcb-cricket-news/news/rcb-crowned-as-ipl-2025-champions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCB</a></strong> batting line-up, showcasing aggression in his batting. The 36-year-old scored 657 runs in 15 IPL games during the 2025 season, scoring 8 half-centuries with a strike rate of 144.71. The former India skipper played an influential role while chasing big totals. The right-hander used his experience of playing in different situations. Kohli built his innings cleverly and accelerated when needed.</p><h3><strong>2. Josh Hazlewood</strong></h3><p><strong><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/06/4.Liam-Livinstone (England vs Pakistan - 2021- 122 Meters) (38).webp" alt="Josh Hazlewood" width="1280" height="720" loading="lazy"></strong></p><p>The Australian pacer used his experience in judging the conditions and wickets to good effect. The 34-year-old didn't allow the opposition batters to score easily. Hazlewood managed to claim crucial wickets during the run of play with his clever swing and seam movements.</p><p>His leg cutters troubled the batters on slow wickets, and he used his slower ones smartly. He claimed 22 wickets in 12 IPL games during the entire season with best bowling figures of 4/33.</p><p><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-stats/4-players-who-have-scored-5-000-plus-runs-in-both-the-ipl-and-test-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4 players who have scored 5,000-plus runs in both the IPL and Test cricket</a></strong></p><h3><strong>3. Phil Salt</strong></h3><p><strong><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/06/4.Liam-Livinstone (England vs Pakistan - 2021- 122 Meters) (39).webp" alt="Phil Salt" width="1280" height="720" loading="lazy"></strong></p><p>Phil Salt was crucial in providing acceleration as an opener. His destructive hitting destroyed the opposition's morale. The 28-year-old smashed the opposition bowlers out of the park.</p><p>The England opener read the wickets well and attacked the spinners at will. The right-hander was aggressive against pacers when they bowled short of length or when he was offered width. The England wicket-keeper batter scored 403 runs in 13 IPL games with a strike rate of 175.98 by registering 4 half-centuries.</p><h3><strong>4. Krunal Pandya</strong></h3><p><strong><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/06/4.Liam-Livinstone (England vs Pakistan - 2021- 122 Meters) (40).webp" alt="Krunal Pandya" width="1280" height="720" loading="lazy"></strong></p><p>Krunal Pandya was the core of the RCB bowling lineup in the entire season. The left-arm off-spinner mixed his deliveries cleverly. The 34-year-old caused problems for the batters with his length and bowled quicker through the air to surprise the batters. Pandya claimed 17 wickets in 15 IPL games with best bowling figures of 4/25. Krunal Pandya's inclusion added penetration in the RCB bowling lineup.</p><h3><strong>5. Jitesh Sharma</strong></h3><p><strong><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/06/4.Liam-Livinstone (England vs Pakistan - 2021- 122 Meters) (41).webp" alt="Jitesh Sharma" width="1280" height="720" loading="lazy"></strong></p><p>Jitesh<strong> </strong>Sharma's inclusion made the RCB batting lineup robust. The 32-year-old was bought for a sum of INR 11 crore by RCB, and the wicket-keeper batter turned out to be valuable with his powerful hitting abilities. The right-hander stepped up when needed, scoring 261 runs in 15 IPL games with a strike rate of 176.35. Jitesh Sharma can play match-winning innings, and that is exactly what he did this season.</p>]]></content:encoded>

RCB finally won the title of<a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/ipl-2025/"> IPL 2025</a> in the 18th season. RCB defeated Punjab Kings by 6 runs in the final. With this victory, the dream of Virat Kohli and all those fans of RCB was fulfilled who were dreaming of winning the title since 2008. At the same time, Punjab Kings, who reached the final after 2014 under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, was heartbroken. Punjab team lost in the final.</p><p><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/virat-kohli-hug-ab-de-villiers-chris-gayle-and-anushka-sharma-after-winning-ipl-2025-final/">Philp Salt</a> could not give a great start to RCB, who came to bat first after losing the toss in Ahmedabad ground. Salt was trapped by Jamieson and he went out after scoring 16 runs in nine balls. While Virat Kohli remained firm at one end, on the other side Mayank Agarwal could only score 24 runs in 18 balls with two fours and a six and after him captain Rajat Patidar could only score 26 runs in 16 balls with one four and two sixes. Due to which RCB lost three wickets for 96 runs.</p><p>After three for 96, Kohli was trapped by Omarzai in the 15th over of the innings and he went after scoring 43 runs in 35 balls with three fours. Fans also trolled Kohli for his slow play. While in the end Jitesh Sharma scored 24 runs in 10 balls with two fours and two sixes for RCB, Arshdeep Singh kept RCB away from 200. In the last over, Arshdeep showed his flair and took three wickets. Due to which RCB's team could only reach 190 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs and remained away from 200. Arshdeep and Kyle Jamieson took the maximum three wickets for Punjab.</p><h3><strong>Punjab's middle order flopped</strong></h3><p>Punjab Kings got off to a good start. Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh started in the opening. Both of them together added 43 runs for the first wicket but then Priyansh Arya was out for 24 runs. Arya was caught by Phil Salt. Now Josh Inglis came to the crease and he fully supported Prabhsimran Singh. Both of them together took the score to 72 runs. Prabhsimran was playing big shots but then Krunal Pandya dismissed him and gave a big success to RCB.</p><p>Now Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer is at the crease but Iyer flopped. Iyer was run out by Romario Shepherd for just one run. Iyer's wicket was the biggest success for RCB. Inglis was playing from the other end but he was out on a score of 98. Inglis' wicket was taken by Krunal Pandya. Inglis scored 39 runs in 23 balls. Nehal Vadhera was expected to perform brilliantly but he was out on 15 runs. Finally RCB won the finals after 17 years.</p><p><strong>ALSO READ: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-ab-de-villiers-and-virat-kohli-celebrate-together-after-winning-ipl-2025-trophy/">WATCH: AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli celebrate together after winning IPL 2025 trophy</a></p><h3><strong>Twitter reactions after RCB wins Final match of IPL 2025</strong></h3><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Finally RCB won after 18 years ❤️<br>congratulations RCB <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCBvsPBKS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCBvsPBKS</a> <a href="https://t.co/hU28xzu450">pic.twitter.com/hU28xzu450</a></p>— विक्रम 𝘬ꪊꪑꪖ𝘳 🦇 (@printf_meme) <a href="https://twitter.com/printf_meme/status/1929962867081507268?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCBvsPBKS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCBvsPBKS</a><br><br>Ofc we waited for so many years just to witness this 🥺❤️ <br><br>Rcb won <a href="https://t.co/zXwxFxzC9S">pic.twitter.com/zXwxFxzC9S</a></p>— imjobless🇮🇳 (@sam_jobless) <a href="https://twitter.com/sam_jobless/status/1929960456539804118?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Tea cup comedy's.<br>Pombala cup.<br>18 varusam guru saamy.<br>Loli pop.<br><br>Where is which kind of tweet.?<br><br>Congratulations RCB 🏆🏆🔥🔥<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCBvsPBKS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCBvsPBKS</a> <a href="https://t.co/4OLVm9lT7z">pic.twitter.com/4OLVm9lT7z</a></p>— A.

            <description><![CDATA[Shreyas Iyer’s early wicket for just 1 run hurt Punjab Kings badly in the IPL 2025 final. Despite his great form all season, Punjab couldn’t chase down RCB’s total of 191 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

He <span data-mark-id="1000074_1|h%0" data-order="20">was dismissed</span> for just<span data-mark-id="1000072_2|h%0" data-order="10"> 1 </span>run by Romario Shepherd. Iyer got an edge and went to keeper catch, and Jitesh Sharma took a clean catch in the crucial final.</p><p>It was a big moment in the match, <span data-mark-id="1000058_5|h%0" data-order="30">especially</span> because Shepherd had earlier dropped <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/rajat-patidar-smashes-huge-six-off-yuzvendra-chahal-in-rcb-vs-pbks-finale-clash/">Prabhsimran Singh</a> but made up for it with this vital wicket. Iyer had played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 87 runs in Qualifier 2, taking Punjab to the final by almost single-handedly defeating the Mumbai Indians. But in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, things didn’t go his way.</p><p>As he walked back to the dugout, RCB players celebrated loudly, knowing how <span data-mark-id="1000060_8|h%0" data-order="30">important</span> his wicket was. Punjab openers Priyansh Arya (24) and Prabhsimran Singh (26) got decent starts but couldn’t convert them into big scores. Earlier, RCB posted 190/9 in their 20 overs. Virat Kohli scored 43 runs but with a slow strike rate of 122. For Punjab, Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson bowled well and took three wickets each to keep RCB from running away with the game.</p><p><strong>ALSO READ: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-phil-salt-acrobatic-catch-against-pbks-in-ipl-2025-final/">WATCH: Phil Salt acrobatic catch against PBKS in IPL 2025 Final</a></p><h3><strong>Fans react as Shreyas Iyer falls cheaply in Final</strong></h3><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">SHREYAS IYER IN FINAL:<br><br>FOR COUNTRY FOR MONEY. <a href="https://t.co/yeQzhKlibs">pic.twitter.com/yeQzhKlibs</a></p>— Ahmed Says (@AhmedGT_) <a href="https://twitter.com/AhmedGT_/status/1929954719062974901?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Shreyas Iyer gone. 😱😱<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ViratKohli%F0%93%83%B5?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ViratKohli𓃵</a> Happy ❣️<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCBvsPBKS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCBvsPBKS</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IPLFinals?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IPLFinals</a> <a href="https://t.co/Dsd95VIICh">pic.twitter.com/Dsd95VIICh</a></p>— Tharani ʀᴛᴋ (@iam_Tharani) <a href="https://twitter.com/iam_Tharani/status/1929946460994580535?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">SHREYAS IYER I LOVE U, BUT NOT TODAY BROTHER NOT TODAY, NOW ITS YOUR TURN TO GO HOME</p>— ❥I Hate RCB 🍉 (@Daniyalj15) <a href="https://twitter.com/Daniyalj15/status/1929945190216737202?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Shreyas iyer gone 😂❣️❣️<br>Rcb <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IPLFinal?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IPLFinal</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IPLFinals?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IPLFinals</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCBvsPBKS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCBvsPBKS</a> <a href="https://t.co/MNj519gLvA">pic.twitter.com/MNj519gLvA</a></p>— عادل وانی (@HindAlamgir) <a href="https://twitter.com/HindAlamgir/status/1929946841254175219?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Shreyas iyer gone 😂❣️❣️<br>Rcb <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IPLFinal?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IPLFinal</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IPLFinals?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IPLFinals</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCBvsPBKS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCBvsPBKS</a> <a href="https://t.co/MNj519gLvA">pic.twitter.com/MNj519gLvA</a></p>— عادل وانی (@HindAlamgir) <a href="https://twitter.com/HindAlamgir/status/1929946841254175219?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="ht">Shreyas Iyer out <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCBvsPBKS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCBvsPBKS</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IPLFinal?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IPLFinal</a><br><br>😑😑<br>Dil dod diya usne 😕 <a href="https://t.co/OdEgv0oJvP">pic.twitter.com/OdEgv0oJvP</a></p>— जालिम पत्रकार🤡 (@jalimpatrakar) <a href="https://twitter.com/jalimpatrakar/status/1929950767286497768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="ht">Shreyas Iyer Gone <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCB?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCB</a> Dugout👇 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RCBvsPBKS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RCBvsPBKS</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IPLFinal?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IPLFinal</a> <a href="https://t.co/hFY2v9zSHv">pic.twitter.com/hFY2v9zSHv</a></p>— Siju Moothedath (@SijuMoothedath) <a href="https://twitter.com/SijuMoothedath/status/1929946726737056128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2025</a></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Shreyas Iyer Gone 💔.

He said that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will win the IPL trophy this year. He also predicted that Virat Kohli will win the Player of the Match award.</p><p>It is important to note that RCB finished second in the league stage with 9 wins out of 14 matches. They secured a total of 19 points and reached Qualifier 1. This is the first time in 9 years that RCB has made it to the top 2.</p><p>Shane Watson said that this is a golden chance for Bangalore to win the title. He believes that the return of fast bowler Josh Hazlewood will give a big boost to the team during the playoffs.</p><p>Looking at the team's performance, cricket experts believe that RCB might finally win their first IPL trophy after 18 years. Now, Shane Watson has also made a big prediction. He said RCB will win the title this year and Virat Kohli will be the Player of the Match in the final.</p><p><strong>Also Read - </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-stats/five-longest-sixes-in-the-history-of-cricket/">Five longest sixes in the history of cricket</a></p><p>Watson shared a video on his X handle and said, "The winner of IPL 2025 will be RCB.
