The Road to the Trophy

The league stage had ended, and only four teams remained in contention for the IPL trophy. The battles ahead wouldn't just be about talent—they would be about strategy, execution, and resilience under pressure.

RCB had qualified in the top two, giving them an advantage in the playoffs. But their journey wasn't easy. With rivals like CSK, MI, and KKR in the mix, every decision from Raj—both as a leader and a player—would be crucial in determining RCB's fate.
