Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finished his hoodoo from his house at IPL 2025 with an exciting victory over Rajasthan Royals at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium. Virat Kohli, who anchored the first entries with a fifty compound, opened on the tactical adjustments that RCB made to finally succeed in its place of origin after three consecutive losses.

Kohli acknowledged that the RCB batting was below the pair in previous home matches and said they needed to reevaluate their approach.

Virat Kohli talks about adjustment that RCB made to turn the Chinnaswamy record

“Look, we have had three games quite average at home and we discussed some things we need to hit like a batting unit and we apply well to put the total on board,” Kohli said in the interaction after the game.

RCB had not been able to publish competitive totals in Chinnaswamy, a place known for high scores, but Kohli said the field was not as easy as it seemed.

“The launch was not as flat as the score makes it seem. Dew made the ball light very well in the second half and the credit to Rajasthan for going out and playing some good shots.”

He also pointed out how the launch plays an important role in his house.

“The first challenge is to win the launch [chuckles]. In the second half there is always Rocío. We have fought to get a torque score. “

In Bengaluru, dew often facilitates persecution, so the batting becomes more difficult. RCB had fought before establishing winning total while hitting first, but they seemed to have deciphered the formula this time.

Kohli elaborated in the new “template” of batting that is following RCB: having a set batter playing, while others take risks calculated around them.

“The template is now quite simple, so that a guy is going through and the others attacked around him. Devdutt and I know this land well. I just wanted to let Salt do his thing at the top.”

This method was visible in the way RCB built its entries. While Phil Salt played with an early intention, Kohli and Padikkal kept the score moving through the intelligent location and running between the WICKETS, before accelerating later.

Kohli also highlighted how the conditions at the beginning of the entries required a more measured approach:

“There is rhythm and bouncing in the first overs with the new ball. Today we try to timet the ball and maintain enough pressure on the opposition to continue giving us limit balls.”

In other words, instead of getting hard from Ball One, RCB focused on turning the blow and forcing field errors, eventually causing the loose balls to charge. This showed maturity in the adaptation to conditions instead of playing one -dimensional cryket.

And despite publishing 205, Kohli admitted that the game still felt to the limit, a reminder of high pressure as the T20 games.

“[Our score] It looks enough at this time, but at one time it didn’t seem to be enough. “

Rajasthan Royals made a strong impulse in persecution, especially through the late outbreak of Dhruv Jurel. But RCB kept his nerves in the last overs, with Josh Hazlewood delivering an excellent penultimate to change the game in his favor.

With this victory, RCB moved to 12 points from 9 games, strengthening its playoff position and maintaining its two most important living hopes.
