Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered a five-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in a rain-affected IPL 2025 match. Bengaluru MP PC Mohan criticized the team, stating that they are gifting wins to every visitor at their home ground. Interestingly, RCB has maintained a perfect winning record in away matches this season, raising concerns among fans about their performance in Bengaluru.
In the match, RCB struggled with their batting, with Tim David’s knock of 50 off 26 balls being the only highlight as they posted a modest total of 95 for 9. Punjab Kings’ bowlers, led by Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Marco Jansen, restricted RCB effectively. In response, Punjab chased down the target with ease, thanks to Nehal Wadhera’s quickfire 33 off 19 balls.
The defeat at home highlighted RCB’s inconsistency at Chinnaswamy Stadium compared to their success on the road. This repeated stumbling at home has become a cause for concern for the team and their fans. Follow Franchise Cricket for more IPL news.
