Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) find themselves at the top of the points table after an emphatic run in the IPL 2025. With seven wins in 10 games, RCB arguably have been the best team of the season so far. Virat Kohli has been the cornerstone of this remarkable success for RCB. He is the leading run scorer of the tournament with 443 runs, including six fifties.
Kohli continued his great run against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the previous game and scored 51 on a tricky wicket to help RCB chase 163. While Krunal Pandya scored 73, he admitted that it was Kohli's calm that helped him overcome a shaky start and play a match-winning innings.

Playoff Berth In Sight
RCB have almost cemented a berth in the IPL playoffs. They have never won an IPL title, but this looks their best chance to end the trophy drought. RCB over the years struggled with a bleak bowling attack, however, they did make some smart buys this year in the auction that turned the tables in their favour. The addition of experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar along with Josh Hazlewood, did wonders for the side. Krunal Pandya also played a significant role in RCB's wins, solving spin bowling woes in the middle overs.
