RCB's Record At IPL 2025 Final Venue Raises Alarm Bells
Despite reaching the finals three times, RCB is yet to lift the IPL trophy.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have officially secured their place in the final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 after a big win over Punjab Kings in the first qualifier. The much-awaited final will be played on May 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
RCB will face one of Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans, or Punjab Kings in the final - the outcome of the second qualifier will decide who challenges them for the title.
As excitement builds, it's worth looking at how RCB has performed at the venue where the title will be decided.
RCB's record at Narendra Modi Stadium: Not very promising
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has played a total of 6 IPL matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium so far.
They've won 3 and lost 3 - a balanced record on paper. But a closer look reveals a concerning trend: in their last 4 matches at the venue, RCB has managed to win only once.
While these numbers don't favor RCB, their current form in IPL 2025 has been exceptional, and they will be hoping to turn things around when it matters most.

2016 Final - Lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 runs
Despite reaching the finals three times, RCB is yet to lift the IPL trophy. Now, after nine long years, they're back in the final and are looking more determined than ever to end their title drought.
Can 2025 be the year RCB finally wins IPL?
RCB's track record at the Narendra Modi Stadium may not inspire confidence, but their performance throughout this season has been nothing short of stellar. With momentum, team balance, and belief on their side, RCB stands a strong chance to break their final hoodoo.
Will they finally bring the trophy home? Only time will tell.
