Former CSK star Rains backs RCB to win IPL 2025

Star-studded Royal Challengers Bengaluru have emerged as formidable contenders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, securing eight victories in their first eleven matches. This impressive start has positioned them well for a playoff berth, and many believe they are on the cusp of clinching their maiden IPL title. Notably, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has expressed confidence in the RCB’s potential to break their title drought this year.

“There are strong chances because Royal Challengers Bengaluru is playing in a different league this year. They’ve defended scores like 150 and 136 at Chinnaswamy and their bowling unit has stepped up," Raina said on Star Sports.

“The new captain has beaten Chennai Super Kings twice, once in Chennai and again at home, which speaks volumes. The dressing room is positive and these are signs of a team that can go all the way. “Yes, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings are also doing well, but this might finally be Virat’s year to lift the trophy after 18 years.” 

RCB's journey this season has been incredibly remarkable as they have maintained their positive start, demonstrating resilience and toughness.
