RCB is breaching every fortress in 2025
RCB acquired a strong team in this year’s auction, and it seemed like the most balanced squad they have ever had. it is reflected in their performance in the first 4 matches. They had the most challenging schedule, facing the giants KKR, CSK, and MI at their home in their first four matches.
But they surprised everyone by breaching the opponent’s fortress one by one. They not only beat them at their home but also did it convincingly. Only MI’s match was a close encounter. They beat CSK at Chepauk after 17 years and have now beaten MI at Wankhede after 10 years. Hope this new era of RCB brings them the glory.
