The IPL 2025 has ended with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinching their maiden title. Discussions have already begun on the next chapter of the world's biggest T20 league, where RCB will take the field as the defending champions.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru earned their first Indian Premier League title by beating Punjab Kings by six runs on Tuesday. Bengaluru finished runners-up in 2009, 2011 and 2016, but finally won at the Narendra Modi Stadium — thanks largely to Krunal Pandya’s sensational spell of 2-17 in four overs.
