Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bounced back from their recent loss to Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2025 by securing a seven-wicket victory at the New PCA Stadium on Sunday, April 20. Following their win, RCB’s social media team playfully referenced a tweet from Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
In 2014, during the IPL final between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, Salman Khan had tweeted, inquiring if Preity Zinta’s team had emerged victorious. Fast forward 11 years later, RCB humorously revisited that tweet and responded with a witty, “Sorry bhai, not today.”
This match marked Punjab Kings’ final home game in new Chandigarh for the season. Moving forward, the Kings will play their remaining three home matches at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.
The upcoming question on everyone’s mind is whether Royal Challengers Bangalore can finally put an end to their losing streak at home in IPL 2025. While teams typically perform better at home in the IPL, RCB has experienced a peculiar season so far. Out of their eight games, they have won five, all of which have been away victories. Strangely, their three defeats, against Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Punjab Kings, have occurred on their home turf at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
RCB will now return to Bengaluru for their next home fixture against the Rajasthan Royals on April 24, while PBKS will travel to Kolkata to face defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on April 26.
The match between RCB and PBKS showcased an exciting clash of talent and strategy, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next round of thrilling encounters in the IPL 2025 season. Stay tuned for more updates on live scores, match schedules, points tables, results, and squad details for all the participating teams – CSK, MI, RCB, KKR, SRH, LSG, DC, GT, and PBKS.
