Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to step onto the field on June 3, 2025, with one goal in mind, ending their long wait for an IPL title. Let’s look at RCB Strongest Playing 11 for IPL 2025 Final.
Despite being one of the most followed franchises since the league’s inception in 2008, the trophy has eluded them in their three previous final appearances (2009, 2011, and 2016). Now, they have another shot, and the cricketing world is watching closely. Let’s take a look at RCB’s chances of winning and what could be their strongest playing 11 for the IPL 2025 final.
Road to the final
RCB’s 2025 campaign has been nothing short of impressive. They secured second place on the points table after the league stage and booked a direct ticket to the final by convincingly winning Qualifier 1. Their journey reflects a perfect blend of consistent batting, potent bowling, and strategic execution.
Key performers and strengths of RCB in IPL 2025
This season has seen standout performances from almost every corner of the squad. Virat Kohli has been the reliable run-machine, while Phil Salt’s explosive starts have reshaped RCB’s top order. Skipper Rajat Patidar has led with intent and stability in the middle.
Jitesh Sharma’s dual role as a finisher and wicketkeeper, along with Krunal Pandya’s all-round skills, have added balance. Overseas dynamo Tim David and Romario Shepherd bring power and versatility, especially in pressure situations.
On the bowling front, Josh Hazlewood’s pace and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s swing have consistently troubled batters. Left-arm pacer Yash Dayal has emerged as a valuable support seamer, and spinner Suyash Sharma has impressed, particularly with his match-winning effort in Qualifier 1.
