With the dominating win in Qualifier 1, the Rajat Patidar-led RCB reached an IPL final for the first time in nine years. Interestingly, the IPL 2016 season was also the last time RCB finished in the top two during the league stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We\u2019re proud of the way we\u2019ve played throughout the season. The way the group has taken on challenges - with bravery, composure and aggressive intent, reflects the collective character we\u2019ve built through the season. We\u2019ve ticked off a few important milestones on the way here, but this is obviously the one that matters most.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We have many match winners and it\u2019s been great to see everyone contributing. After a long and gruelling league phase, the playoffs are a time to really trust in and enjoy your cricket. The final will be a great occasion, especially for our fans, and the players are very focused and determined to finish the job,\u201d said Bobat in a release by the franchise on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
RCB\u2019s success in IPL 2025 has been shaped by every player stepping up to make the team win irrespective of how the situation was. Virat Kohli has scored more than 600 runs in a season \u2013 the fifth time it\u2019s happened in the IPL. Kohli has struck eight half-centuries, which is the most by any batter this season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Apart from Kohli, nine other batters have registered half-centuries \u2013 Patidar, Phil Salt, Tim David, Jitesh Sharma, and Romario Shepherd, as well as Devdutt Padikkal and Jacob Bethell, both of whom will not feature again this season citing injury and international duty respectively. With the ball, fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has led the charge with 21 wickets, while Krunal Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have picked 15 wickets each, and leg-spinner Suyash Sharma has eight scalps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
