Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Tuesday night scripted history and won the IPL 2025 at the world's biggest Narendra Modi Stadium. RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 Final ended with Rajat Patidar-led squad defeating Shreyas Iyer & Co. by just 6 runs. With this, RCB won their maiden IPL trophy after a wait of 18 long years. The moment RCB beat PBKS, the entire stadium filled with emotions, and Virat Kohli, who is known for his ultra-aggressive approach, broke down in tears. The moment was so emotional that Anushka Sharma had to console Virat Kohli.

RCB Victory Parade Route and Timing
RCB Victory Parade will kickstart at 3:30 pm today. As per the official announcement, RCB's victory parade in an open bus will start from Vidhana Soudha and will end at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Notably, the last time the victory parade took place in Mumbai was when Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024. It was a sea of blue on the streets of Mumbai. With RCB enjoying a massive fan base, it is expected that the traffic will come to a standstill in Bengaluru in the sea of red.
After winning the match, Virat Kohli, while talking to Mathew Hayden, who was part of the Star Sports commentary panel, said, "I gave my youth, my prime, and my experience..It means so much to me; I'm just, as I said, I have given each and every ounce of my energy to this team, and finally we have won the IPL. It's an amazing feeling..It's right up there, if I have to be honest. As I said, I have given everything to the team for the last 18 years. I have been loyal to this team, no matter what. I stood with them (fans and team). They stood behind me. I always dreamt of winning this with them. This is far more special than winning it with anyone else."
