"Winner Of IPL 2025 Is RCB, Virat Kohli Man Of The Match": Australia Legend's Massive Prediction
As Royal Challengers Bengaluru are set to face Punjab Kings in the Qualifier 1 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Thursday, Australia legend Shane Watson has made a massive prediction. The former all-rounder, who too has played for RCB in the past, has backed the side to win the title this year. He gave the reason behind his prediction and also stated that Virat Kohli will be the Player of the Match in the final game of the tournament. Notably, RCB, who have been a part of IPL since its inception in 2008, have never won the coveted trophy. They have played the finals in 2009, 2011 and 2016 but ended up losing all three. "The winner of IPL 2025... I've been thinking long and hard about it, is RCB. And the Man of the Match for me is Virat Kohli, the great man. And here's the reason why. I just get a feeling that this is the time for RCB. They have had a few blips in the back end of the tournament, but with Josh Hazlewood coming back for the Playoffs, I get a feeling this is the year," Watson said in a video he posted on his X handle. It really has been another incredible season of @IPL The playoffs are truly going to be epic!! Here are my predictions for who I think is going to win IPL18. Make your predictions on Wolf777 now. #watson #wolf777 #wolf777exchange #cricket #ipl18 #playoffs... — Shane Watson (@ShaneRWatson33) May 28, 2025 Virat Kohli has been in sensational touch in the ongoing season, having scored 602 runs in 13 matches at an average of 60.20. His strike rate is 147.91. Kohli has hit 8 fifties so far and is only one away from equalling the record of David Warner of smashing most half-centuries in a single IPL season. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the ultimate face of loyalty, resilience, patience for its unwavering fan base and a franchise trolled for a dust-collecting trophy cabinet despite presence of some of the sport's biggest superstars, is just few steps away from capturing the Indian Premier League (IPL) glory for the first-time ever. RCB and PBKS, two franchises that have not lifted the IPL gold in their entire existence, will be aiming to book a direct spot in the final when they lock horns in the Qualifier one at Mullanpur on Thursday. Even if either of them loses, they will get a shot at redemption when they play either Gujarat Titans (GT) or Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Qualifier two at Ahmedabad. While PBKS have defied expectations and displayed fearlessness under skipper Shreyas Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting, the journey towards the playoffs has been just as brilliant for RCB, led by Rajat Patidar.

Munster defeat ends Ulster's chances of qualifying for URC Play-Offs and next season's Champions Cup
8 minutes ago The full-time whistle sounds. Munster take a huge step towards booking a spot in the URC Play-Offs. However, Ulster's hopes look bleak. Technically, they still have an outside chance of making the Top Eight, but realistically it's not going to happen. This is Ulster's worst season the professional era, that was aptly summed up by that dreadful second half performance. 80' The last ten minutes of this game have passed by without incident. Munster secured the victory with that O'Mahoney try half an hour ago. 80' Tom Farrell is named Player of the Match 71' It is Munster's turn to lose a man to the bin as loose-head replacement Josh Wycherley is the unfortunate man to get punished for consecutive penalties 70' Ulster haven't been able to maintain their first half momentum, here. They've been outplayed in every department. Now they must face up to the reality of failing to qualify for the Champions Cup for the first time since the tournament's inception in 1995. 66' Ulster back up to 15 as Stuart McCloskey returns 61' Peter O'Mahoney leaves the field to a massive reception. What a moment for him 61' Tom Stewart is on for Rob Herring. 61' Two more for Crawley 61' It was a searching kick into the corner from Jack Crowley. O'Mahoney leaps into the air like a basketball player before dotting down in the corner. What a moment for the man who has served Munster for 15 years 60' It's a try for O'Mahoney in his last game at Thomond Park! 58' Ulster's hopes are hanging by a thread here. Munster are once against camped inside the Ulster 22 57' Crowley adds the extras 57' Farrell runs in Munster fifth try after the home side asserted pressure from the lineout. This looks like the end of Ulster's campaign. 55' It's a yellow card for Stuart McCloskey for professional foul. He kicks the ball away from the hands of the Munster scrum half, to prevent a try scoring opportunity. Munster have a penalty and will kick for the corner. O'Toole comes on for Wilson 46' Rob Herring smashes the ball out of Michael Milne's hands. It's a goal line drop out for Ulster, who survive this particular Munster barrage.
