🎉 RCB Victory Parade 2025: Bengaluru Turns Red as Royal Challengers Celebrate Historic IPL Title
Bengaluru, June 4, 2025:
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are finally IPL champions — and the entire city is turning red in celebration! After 18 seasons of heartbreak and near-misses, RCB clinched their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title by defeating Punjab Kings by six runs in a thrilling final in Ahmedabad. Now, fans in Bengaluru are ready to welcome their champions in a massive victory parade and felicitation ceremony.
🏆 A Victory 18 Years in the Making
Led by Rajat Patidar, and powered by the undying spirit of Virat Kohli, RCB overcame Punjab Kings to lift the IPL trophy for the first time since the league’s inception in 2008. Kohli, a cornerstone of the franchise, has been associated with RCB since day one and captained the side for 12 seasons. His long-awaited IPL title win has sent waves of joy across the cricketing world and especially among the team’s passionate fanbase.
“Winning it for Virat was our biggest motivation,” said skipper Rajat Patidar after the final, echoing the emotions of millions of RCB fans.
