For a long time, RCB has been owned by the branding force they owned. Starting with one of the greatest players of their generation, Virat Kohli, RCB owned as Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, who could terrorize any bowling line with one hand and win the team winnings. The three got RCBs in stronger places, but it was bowling that has been a problem area for franchise at least in the last decade.
Since Gayle and De Villiers left the franchise, it seemed to me that Kohli was almost one to work with one man to get runs. While Faf du Plessis came to help Kohli on top in the last three seasons, the support was not there from others. But this time it all changed for RCB. When the auction disintegrated, there were many moments when the fans felt that the franchise for big names did not go so hard. But RCB played the perfect waiting game.

Then they assembled a group that showed after 14 league games that they had all bases. AB de Villiers said it perfectly and said that a noticeable change between RCB units in 2016 and 2025 was the settings and balance of the team.
“The noticeable change is in the team settings and the team’s balance. I was publicly aloud that this was the first time I looked at the auction and I thought, OK, we have something here,” De Villiers said.
In addition, the 2025 season saw that different players would stand for RCB at different points.

One of the distinctive features of the RCB bowling lineup after the auction was seen that Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood are in the group and the peace they bring. Both men are not known at their express pace, but for the test cricket line and the length it holds.
This season, this season raised 36 goals, while the rest of the pack was watching them and their bowling methods. Hazlewood, after the qualifier 1 victory, said that the younger pitchers raised the calm that Bhuvneshwar brings to the attack and added it to their arsenal.
“Everything is quite relaxed, quite quiet, focus on your skill and try to do it. And I think maybe a few younger guys raised and took their own game in the attack,” said Hazlewood.
In addition, it was credible as Krunal Pandy and young Suyash Sharma to lead a spin attack, a movement that he met with skepticism at the beginning. The duo has 23 goals with each other, but it is a way they have stopped the flow of flat tracks that have improved RCB this season.
Compared to earlier times and even in 2016, when they last achieved the final, there is a more rounded view of the bowling line -up that covers all bases.
They all raise their hands
Krunal Pandya was the key to RCB in IPL 2025.
RCB provided 10 wins this season. Of these, 9 different players have a match winner. Since Kohli himself, such as Krunal, Jitesh Sharma and others, RCB has won more team efforts than one person’s show.
But it wasn’t just about appreciation and award. The incident performance, such as Romario Shepherd fifty or several blitz from David, gave Bengaluru some main winnings on the way to the finals.
Frequently, as far as the impressive performance is concerned, Kohli is the one who stands out for RCB. This time, as De Villiers stressed, Kohl is not much talked about. He went about his role with a bat, while others gave the star RCB time and space to become in the middle.
The RCB legend feels that players know that they have to play a role in the team victory and that it is clear to get off.
“There was no or heard of him, and his performance as in the past, which tells you that there are other boys who also perform. 9 different men of the Awards that go to 9 different RCB players, telling you it is a healthy environment.
So a mixture of two weak points in the past caused RCB on the brink of their first IPL title. The result is still unknown and can become 3 June in Ahmedabad. However, we can expect that the bowling line -up will remain disciplined and not surprising if the new player puts his hand with great performance.
