If RCB loses this final, they may feel that their team’s structure is not working despite the star players. They can eventually decide to keep only one or two top players and create a new team.

Virat Kohli’s IPL future

Virat Kohli has played 17 seasons for RCB, but another IPL final defeat may disappoint him a lot. He can start thinking about leaving the team. However, surprisingly, frequent heartbreak can cause heavy emotional damage. He can also consider a big step like retirement from IPL.

Moneyball strategy

RCB can stop chasing large stars and focus on young, less famous players instead that are suitable for specific roles. They can follow the “moneyball” strategy using data to create a balanced team.

This would mean choosing smart, team-centric players instead of personal talent. Young players like Swastik Chikara and Jacob Bethel can be given more opportunities.

Disillusionment of fans

Fans of RCB are known for their strong support. However, another final defeat may disappoint many people. This may lead to the sale of merchandise, discussion on social media and the number of audiences in the match at the beginning of the next season.

Although love will remain for the team, a major change or special victory may be required to bring back the full enthusiasm of the fans.

RCB has already moved from Bangalore to Bangalore this year. If they lose the final of IPL 2025, they can consider completely rebranding to overtake the history of their low achievements.
