As RCB gear up for their fourth IPL final - the spotlight shifts to a venue that has seen mixed fortunes for the team over the years. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad - the world’s largest cricket ground - will host the IPL 2025 final between RCB and PBKS on June 3.
With both sides eyeing their first-ever title, the stakes couldn’t be higher. RCB’s past in IPL finals hasn’t been kind.

They have reached the final three times - in 2009, 2011 and 2016 - only to fall short on each occasion. But under new skipper Rajat Patidar and with Virat Kohli and Phil Salt at the top - the 2025 campaign has seen a more balanced and composed RCB unit.
Their recent form gives fans hope that this could finally be the year the trophy comes home.
What is RCB’s record at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad?
RCB have played six matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium in IPL history. Out of these - they have won three and lost three - hardly a dominant record but not terrible either.

Their first game at this venue was in 2015 - a win against Rajasthan Royals. They followed it up with another win against Delhi Capitals in 2021.
But since then, their record has dipped. In fact, Bengaluru have lost three of their last four games at the venue - including two defeats to Rajasthan Royals and one to Punjab Kings.
Their only recent win was in 2024 against Gujarat Titans. RCB’s bigger hurdle remains their history in IPL finals.
They have come close three times and failed to get themselves over the line. Tuesday offers another shot on a ground where they have stumbled lately. But this is a season where momentum might just be on their side.
