Cheteshwar Pujara on RCB‘s Future After Winning IPL 2025 has sparked fresh hope and optimism among fans and cricket experts. With Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally lifting their maiden IPL trophy, Cheteshwar Pujara believes this victory is not a conclusion but the start of a powerful chapter in the franchise’s history.
RCB’s Historic Victory
In the IPL 2025 final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, RCB faced off against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). Batting first, RCB posted a total of 190/9. Their bowlers then restricted PBKS to 184/7, securing a six-run victory and their first IPL title.

Speaking on Star Sports, Cheteshwar Pujara expressed optimism about RCB’s trajectory post their IPL 2025 win. He stated,
“I think this is just the beginning. They have a great future ahead. This is kind of trying to take the monkey off the back. They know they have the title now, and they have the team and the capability. So, going forward, I think it will be a tough team to beat,”
Cheteshwar Pujara emphasized that RCB’s consistent performances in previous seasons were often overshadowed by their inability to clinch the title. Now, with the championship in hand, the team can play with renewed confidence and freedom.
Virat Kohli’s Evolution and Impact
A significant contributor to RCB’s success was Virat Kohli. Often criticized for his strike rate in T20s, Virat Kohli silenced his detractors by scoring 657 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 144.71 during the 2025 season.
Pujara lauded Kohli’s adaptability, saying,
“People have been criticizing him in the past that he wasn’t batting at a strike rate of 140-150. Now, if you look at his batting this season, he has answered that question. He has batted at a strike rate of 140-150 and above. So he has evolved as a batter,”
RCB’s maiden IPL title in 2025 marks a significant turning point for the franchise. With seasoned players like Virat Kohli evolving their game and insights from cricketing stalwarts like Cheteshwar Pujara, the team is poised for sustained success. As Pujara aptly puts it, this victory is “just the beginning” for RCB.
