Royal Challengers Continued their dominant run in the ongoing IPL 2025. The Rajat Patidar-led defeated Mumbai Indians by 12 runs
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continue to dominate the eighteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), and the season looks promising for them. Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar's RCB held their nerves at the Wankhede as they defeated Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians by 12 runs.
The likes of Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and skipper Pandya threatened to take the game away from RCB at one stage, but the Bengaluru bowlers held their nerves and pulled things back. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru are currently at the third spot on the IPL 2025 points table with three victories, six points, and a healthy Net Run Rate (NRR) of +1.015.
Bengaluru's win against Mumbai Indians was special in many ways. RCB ended their decade-long losing jinx at the Wankhede, and this has made their chances of qualifying for the playoffs even better. The Bengaluru-based franchise, considering their reputation, has managed to play some quality cricket this year.
