Former Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi has tipped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to win the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Ever since the IPL began in 2008, RCB are one of the two teams (Delhi Capitals are the other) from the inaugural season who have not won the trophy till now. RCB played three finals in 2009, 2011 and 2016, but had to be satisfied with a runners-up finish.
