RCB Breaks Jinx Rewrites History in IPL 2025

It looks like the IPL 2025 is a season of redemption for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This edition is turning out to be a memorable campaign for RCB fans. With 3 wins in 4 matches, and all away from home, fans are experiencing euphoria. Under Rajat Patidar’s captaincy, the team is unstoppable. RCB breaks jinx that have been troubling since ages. Firstly, it was a 17-year curse against CSK at the Chepauk. Secondly, it defeated MI at the Wankhede after 10 years. With wins at Eden Gardens, Chepauk, and Wankhede, RCB became the second team after Punjab to achieve this feat.

Despite being a brilliant team, RCB never defeated CSK and MI on their home ground until the last season. However, their fortunes changed in IPL 2025 when they registered magnificent victories at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and Mumbai’s Wankhede. It looks like RCB has decided to take on opponents in their dens. The Play Bold franchise gave a fiery start to its campaign when it troubled the defending champion KKR in the IPL 2025 opener.

The biggest highlight of the current IPL edition is RCB’s dominance against CSK at the Chepauk just a few days ago. It took 17 years for the Bengaluru franchise to record a win at Chennai. Except for the inaugural season, the Men in Red and Gold never claimed success at this venue. Finally, after seventeen editions, RCB redeemed itself from humiliation.

In a nail-biting match against MI yesterday, RCB held its nerves and clinched a memorable victory. With Hardik Pandy and Tilak Varma unleashing their beast mode and dealing bowlers in just fours and sixes, it appeared the curse would continue. But RCB made a stunning comeback and broke the jinx. The turning point of the match came when Bhuvneshwar Kumar sent Tilak Varma and Hazlewood got rid of Hardik in just a few balls.
